Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
The other day I had a call with a good friend to help him out with his new training program business.
The guy is a real beast: He accomplished life feats that most of us can't even begin to comprehend.
But during our call, he said something that stuck with me...
He said: "I've never been in sales so I'm not good at it, you know".
WRONG.
Why, may you ask?
My Response: Because we've all been in sales since the very day we were born.
Think about it for a moment:
You sell someone on going on a date with you
You sell that new restaurant to your friends so you can go and eat there
You sell your skills to get hired by your employer
You sell your performance to your boss to get a raise
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Do you understand now why I say you've always been in sales?
Which brings me to my next point...
Your thoughts shape your reality.
And this is not some woo-woo crap, it's the actual truth.
So if you talk to yourself in a negative way and say stuff like "I'm not good at sales", guess what...
You won't become good at sales.
However, if you talk positively to yourself, you'll inevitably succeed.
And you don't need to be delusional about it... you can be realistic.
You can say: "I'm not that good at sales right now, but I'll apply myself and in two month's time I'll be amazing!"
And like magic, two months from now the improvement will be tangible.
How you talk to yourself matters.
Only talk to yourself in a positive way.
I'll talk to you soon,
The Art of Sales
