If you are struggling with your sales, if leads are not where you want them to be, or if you are not hitting your goals then you must CHANGE your sales strategies. If you continue doing what you have always done, expecting a different result, you will (As Einstein would say) are insane!
Change doesn’t have to be hard. It can be fun, and it certainly can be profitable! Here are two of my is my favorite question when I need to remind myself to change.
“When was the last time you did something for the first time?”
“If you don’t like change, you’ll like irrelevance even less” Ret. General Sheniski
A person’s ability to change is tantamount to his or her ability to grow and expand in life’s overabundant awareness. Rigidity, or lack of the ability to change, is only a spiral downward to death and dying. Which end of the spiral do you prefer to be on? Yes, it is true. When you’re green you grow. When you’re ripe you rot. Not a very pleasant thought, is it?
If you are struggling with change begin simply. If someone suggests a new restaurant for lunch, do not respond with “I don’t eat that type of food,” say instead, “I will give it a try.” When shopping for clothes, don’t always visit the same store and department that you have purchased from for decades, but rather explore something that might make you feel youthful, more colorful, or even more alluring. If invited to visit a place such as a museum, art show, book store, carnival, opera, musical, or whatever that normally does not excite you, decide that it’s your time to do something new.”
Don’t be afraid of changing your work if your results are not what you expected. Just pick one small thing – the opening line, adding or removing a question your voice tone – try something new and measure the result. If it’s worse off…you can always go back. It’s better you might just hit your goal
