6 secrets to be successful in sales:
1. Work hard. Really hard. The world doesn’t owe you anything. Nor does your boss. The only one who owes anyone anything is YOU. You owe it to yourself to skip tomorrow’s episode of Dancing with the Stars and instead make a half-dozen sales calls.
2. Start early, stay late. Don’t worry about how many hours you’re working. Hit your numbers and then look for ways to become more efficient. But first, hit your numbers.
3. If you’re not getting what you want, you’re probably not asking for it. So, ask for it. Ask your customers, your boss, your prospects.
4. Find your passion. Success in selling has more to do with your confidence, your belief system, and your passion than anything else. If you’re not passionate about your company, your product, and your ability to help your customers, you’ll never be successful.
5. Put “sales calls” and “cold calling” in your appointment book. If your iPhone or Droid or PDA doesn’t have an hour blocked for outbound sales efforts each day, you don’t have a shot. You’re not going to ever “get to it” or “squeeze it in.” You’re busy. You’ve got paperwork. You’ve got inbound phone traffic to handle. If you intend to make sales calls, put them in your calendar. Otherwise, get out of sales.
6. Take risks. Playing it safe will ensure that you have a job forever. Taking calculated risks will help you to earn a fortune. Put yourself out there. Take your shot. Reach out and sell something!
