Tom Hopkins - a renowned Sales Guru and a proficient sales person himself - once remarked that a sales job is the "easiest low-paying job" and the "toughest high-paying job" in the world. He meant to say that how you perform in a sales job is totally up to you. Over the years Wholesale Sterling Shepard Jersey , many sales people have tried to succeed but failed miserably and it wasn't due to their lack of product knowledge or lack of credentials.
Here are the reasons why most sales people fail:
1. Not understanding that it all depends on you: It isn't the economy, the Industry or the state of the country you reside in. It's not about your company, your education, experience, training and expertise. It isn't about brands, advertising or consumer behaviour. For a sales person, it always starts with self. Your success or loss depends on what you think of your job or responsibility. It's easy to play the blame-game but it really doesn't solve your problem. How you do in sales is right there between your two ears.
2. Not playing by the numbers: Your Company can't be possibly making products for everyone in the market. Some customers can't afford to buy your products or perhaps there are things your products or services just can't provide. Some days you don't do well Wholesale Eli Apple Jersey , some days you do. Closure of a sale is all about how many people you meet belly-to-belly; it's just a numbers game. Speak to 10 prospects, 1 will buy. How many proposals have you made today? How many people did you meet? Until you meet the tenth prospect, you won't make that sale. Not understanding this and getting bogged down by the sheer number of rejections is the reason why so many promising sales career crash and burn.
3. Forgetting that you are selling to human beings: We humans are walking, talking blobs of flesh with brains that perceive far too many things than what we asked for. Most sales people forget that they are dealing with people - complete with their own respective baggage full of emotions, feelings, logic, thoughts Wholesale Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , fears, illusions, etc. Just as a sales person thinks of the commission he stands to make on a sale, the consumer too is looking for a perceptible gain before shelling out money. Once a sales person understands this, it is far easier to tap into the mind-boggling power of personal Interaction to make that sale.
4. Putting themselves first: One of the biggest mistakes most sales people make is to keep their needs and wants ahead of those of individual customers. It's always about a sales person's career, commissions, accolades from bosses Wholesale Evan Engram Jersey , promotions, etc. Even worse, most times all a sales person cares about is to make the sale and vanish, never to be seen again. One of the fundamental tenets to making a lot of money or to become successful is to learn to give and to put service first. Treat your customer right and you have a customer for life.
5. Talking too much: The number of possible sales closures that have been lost just because sales people can't keep their mouth shut is far too many to even keep track of. Sales people, often out of the excitement or nervousness about a successful closure, tend to blurt out and ruin their chances of a complete closure. After having made your pitch, all you are supposed to do is to look into your customer's eyes and have them talk; better still Wholesale Eli Manning Jersey , have them sign the check. JOEL Family Articles | February 10, 2005 Joel 2.28: "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."
My son, Joel Lamar Rozier, was born June 20 Wholesale Saquon Barkley Jersey , 1977 in Augsburg, West Germany. We were so happy to have a new addition to our home. Joy (Joel's sister) was kind of jealous. He took away some of the attention that she had all to herself. One day, after Joel had been crying, Joy said, "I don't like him, take him back to the hospital."
Joel was almost six months old when we flew back to the United States. Germany was okay but it was not the United States.
Joel had the blondest hair, the bluest eyes Wholesale Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , and the cutest dimples! He sure was a pretty baby boy! His mom doted on him. I did too. As a young child, Joel didn't begin to talk as soon as Joy. He babbled and when he talked, his mom and I could understand him. He also had a hard time of distinguishing colors (slight color blindness).
He celebrated his fifth birthday at the airport in Los Angeles, California. We had driven cross country, with a brief stop in Roswell, New Mexico, where my mother-in-law lived. We also stopped and spent two days near Phoenix Wholesale Darius Slayton Jersey , Arizona where my first cousin, Master Sergeant Lee Johnson (retired, U.S. Air Force) was stationed.
I got a kick out of Lee. he took me around town and showed me some of the South Georgia style barns he had built. Lee could build and fix anything. Often, he made more money doing this than what the Air Force paid him. we had a very good visit with lee, Charlotte, and the boys. We were stationed in Germany at the same time and visited each other there.
Joel started kindergarten, and his speech impediment was such that other kids made fun of him. He wouldn't talk in school. He went through speech therapy for several years which helped much.
Joel was eight when I became a single parent. He missed his mom but he went on and whatever he tried he did it with all his might. Joel is a whiz on computers and also has a wonderful business head.
When Texas Instrument put out their home computer Wholesale Julian Love Jersey , we got one. I built a computer desk and began to learn how to program. My typing skills are more or less hunt and peck, so I had to go slow on all those "$Q?" symbols (on a program).
