Feed Your Faith and Your Doubts Will Starve to Death!

This was another one of my “pep” talks that I gave to my sales TEAM. So many persons that I have met in the jewelry sales business, really wanted to be good at sales and make extra money, but they doubted their own abilities to do so. Believe me, I understand that, because I doubted myself when I first began in sales. However, I realized that if I wanted to be successful and I REALLY wanted to be, because we needed the extra income and with four teenagers and a new baby, I knew that I would HAVE TO find something I could do PART TIME and not a full time job where I would have to leave my baby with strangers. So, what’s the first thing I had to do? Build my confidence in myself and be self-motivated, because as an Independent Contractor, I didn’t have a BOSS and I didn’t have to report to anyone nor did I have to punch a time clock. I soon realized that I had to DO IT MYSELF. I had to MAKE my self spend the time that it took to learn my trade. So while the baby napped and the kids were in school, I perfected my presentation and learned my product and read up on sales techniques. And I practiced my presentation and learned from my own mistakes, but I also listened to others who were successful, when I heard what they had to say at the sales meetings. I took every training class that was available. I developed FAITH in my ability to SELL and my DOUBTS disappeared when the paychecks started rolling in. A career in Sales is not the easiest thing to do. It takes work to learn what to do and what NOT to do, what to say and what NOT to say. But, believe me, I think that anyone can do it, if they REALLY want to do it, and I believe that because I DID it. My family and friends never thought that I had what it takes, because I was rather shy and backward, but I left that person behind, when I made up my mind to be successful. I became one of the TOP sales persons in the company and I’m proud of that, but my message here is not about ME, it’s about anyone who wants a better income, a better life, a better job. Don’t think you can’t attain that if you REALLY want it. YOU CAN. Whether or not you want a career in sales or any other career, you can improve on what you have now. You can rise to the top of your field. It mostly depends on you.
