How many times do you find yourself thinking negatively about yourself and the world aroung you? Most of the time people tend to forget being positive. They are so caught up in their work that they forget how important a positive attitude really is. Sometimes they are suffering a great deal of stress which makes it difficult to think positively. At times like this it is important to create an attitude of gratitude to bring yourself back into a more positive state.
When you are in sales you start off with a positive attitude and much enthusiasm as you try to seel your product, whether door-to-door, or online. However, after several contacts with no sales you begin to find it difficult to maintain your level of enthusiasm. Being rejected after a door to door demo is really disheartening at times especially if you are trying to reach your quota for the day. This tends to have an impact on your self-esteem and a feeling of ineptness may set in.
In order to avoid such a negative attitude one needs to be optimistic and confident. Taking some time to think about the blessings you have in your life can help. Can you walk to the door? Be grateful. Can you see where you are going? Be grateful. Can you breathe deeply? Be grateful. Do you have a place to live, a family to love you? Be grateful.
Take some time to think about the product you are selling. What is the benefit for the person you are selling it to? Once you are confident of the benefits of your product, you will be more confident when you approach a potential customer. Your confidence will boost your enthusiasm and increase your chances to increase sales. Why you may ask? It is because your client will feel your energy and recognize hat you have a high regard for the product you are selling.
When you can demonstrate that you are not just after their money, but are genuinely concerned that the product meets their needs, that the product can really provide the best service and make their life easier, then you are ready to begin.
When you meet with the potential customer, in person or online, ask them to give you a chance to explain in detail the service you are trying to provide, or maybe offer a sample to try. You may have noticed that more and more online marketers are offering a free report, or a free trial of their service. Consumers have become very wary of marketing techniques and it is important to show them that you are trustworthy and that you are genuinely concerned about their happiness.
Always smile when you sell a product door to door. Sometimes a simple smile is all it takes for you to be acceptec by your prospect. The sale of your product would be easier if clients see you as being good natured and well mannered. When you emit a positive attitude you will find that it's contagious!
You don't have to be wearing "rose-coloured" glasses all the time, just stop and think about the things you have to be grateful for and be glad you have an opportunity to connect with a number of new (and old) people as you market your product.
To your success
