Sales Motivation
Sales motivation is about being able to get
yourself or your sales team to do what
needs to be done when it needs to be done.
It's the ability to get yourself to take action
whether you feel like it or not. In sales, one
of the toughest aspect is having to deal with
constant rejection. This is why most people
fail to be a success in the field of sales. The
stress that can be caused by this profession
can be through the roof especially if it's
100% commission based.
Sales happens to be the number one highest
paid profession in the world. Guess what
the lowest paid profession in the world is?
That's right, also sales. Anyone can get a job
that pays on salary or by the hour and make
a certain secure amount of money every
month but it takes a certain type of person
to be able to control the amount he or she
earns each year. The profession of sales is
not for the weak minded person.
Sales motivation is about the ability to have
99 people say, "No" to you and still be fully
confident that the 100th person will say,
"Yes." How many people do you think can go
in and talk to that 100th potential client with
the same enthusiasm and excitement that
he or she had with their 1st prospect? Not
many at all.
Sales is truly one of the few professions
where a person with no educational
background, with no talent or skills, can
become one of the highest paid most
respected people around. The skills needed
to become a highly successful sales person
is something that can be learned. What it
really takes isn't brains, or a nice expensive
suit, or even knowing the right people to
begin with. What it takes to be highly
successful in sales is a burning desire to be
the best at it. It's that sales person who will
not stop making cold calls until he/she gets
the amount of appointments necessary to
achieve his/her goal.
If you are in a leadership position, the whole
concept of sales motivation comes down to
having the ability to give your team a vision
of who they can become and where they
can go regardless of who or where they are
right now. It's the ability to inspire
confidence in your team and ignite that
intense desire to succeed in each and every
one of them that will make you a true leader.
There's no doubt about it. Sales can be a life
changing profession. If you are in sales,
then you can literally change your entire life
around, from poverty and broke, to wealthy
and fulfilled. If you are in a leadership
position, realize that you have the
opportunity to help change people's lives.
Learn everything you can about sales
motivation and there will be no limits to
what you can achieve.
