I love selling!!!!!

I love sales.  I love getting out on the open road and driving all over the state of Florida calling on my clients.
If the weather wasn't so changeable here, I would drive my little convertible to appointments. 

In tough economic times we  have a tendency to second guess our decisions in life.  As my coach, Mary Ligon says " How many times a day do you catch yourself evaluating yourself, others, places, and situations in a negative fashion, believing that this is Reality? It is not Reality; it is your belief system about Reality. Change your Belief system if the Reality you have is not the Reality you want."  I say, Amen Sister!!!!

During the off season I sometimes question my decision to leave the corporate world, especially when the sales are not coming in and the income is lower.  But then, like today,  I visit a long time customer who greets me as an old friend, who proudly shares photos of her family and grandchildren  and shares with me.  This is so special. She is a widow and told me she has spent the better part of the year, caring for her dying 52 year old niece, while trying to run a business.  It's times like this that you realize that it's not selling stuff that is important, but the quality of our lives and how we spend them and how we share ourselves that matters.

I know I was born to do the very thing that stimulates me every day.  I really value the relationships that I have developed with my clients.  Above all they are people, with families, dreams, wants and goals.  It is my job to be a person first and a sales person second.

I love selling and most of all I love the people I sell to!!!!
