Salespeople have to be resilient. We’re responsible for how much income we make. Our job is to go out and ask for the business. And a lot of the time, the answer will be a hard no.
Rejection is bad enough. When it’s tied to your paycheck, it takes on a whole new level!

Last month I overheard someone saying modern technology was killing communication. “Why don’t we just pick up the phone anymore?”

In The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey describes two opposing views: the scarcity mindset, ruled by a fear of limited resources (you should get your piece of the pie before someone else gets it), and the abundance mindset, in which you believe there’s always enough to go around.

One of the most common symptoms I see: a salesperson who can’t stop answering their phone. I know you’re thinking, “but Dew, you wrote a post about sales rock stars answering their phone,” but hear me out on this one.

Do you have something on your list that just never gets done? What about a project or an idea that you’ve “always wanted to do” for years? A habit you’ve been “meaning to work on?”
We want to reach our goals. We know we should take care of our bodies, our minds, our relationships, and our businesses.
So why do some things always get done while other things never even get started? How can we motivate ourselves to accomplish what we want to accomplish?
