Tip of the Day! #1

Everyone has so much thrown at them these days and it only takes a few seconds to brighten someone's day.

Whether you are communicating in person or on the telephone, SMILE when you are speaking.  It seems like such a small thing to do, but the reactions that your body undergoes when you smile are very visceral and believe me, it does come through, every time.  When you SMILE, you exude happiness and your voice automatically changes.  I do this especially when I am not in the mood to converse with the person on the other end of the phone.  It makes the conversation and time fly by.

So take some time today to experiment with everyone you come into contact with.  I promise that the results will be your "reward" and no one needs to know you are doing it!

Happy Monday!!!!!!

Success in Tough Times

It's all about starting from a framework of success.  Just knowing that you will be one and that failure is not an option, is a powerful beginning.  I founded my company after a failure which today I look back on as a favor the company I was working for did for me.  My ultimate goal was to own my own business and I held my nose and jumped in.  20 years later I am still at it, albeit at a slower pace due to the economy.  In the business of sales it is always cyclical and 2010 is not exception.  There is so much going on and so much against a sales person that you have to sell what you are passionate about and that's what I do.  Where others are dropping out of the business, I am ahead in sales year to date.  Granted that in this environment it is an up hill battle, but I refuse to give up.  This is my dream, my baby and I will not fail.  Have I had set backs? Sure!  What good sales person hasn't?  Now is the time for the cream to rise to the top.  In the coming days I will be outlining easy to follow sales tips that anyone can do and be successful.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Selling!!!!
