The Secrets of Success Right Now

Sales trainer Joe Guertin likes to keep things simple, and so do I. Follow these sixteen truths from Guertin and you'll go the distance in 2011:

Know your personal strengths

Know your personal weaknesses even better.

Push yourself, then push harder.


End procrastination

Embrace change. Nobody cares how things used to be done.

Embrace technology. Without it, you'll age fast.

Believe in yourself. Technology alone, will not sell...that's your job

Differentiate Don't be just another egg in the carton

Seek great counsel. Talk to those you respect, ask questions

Listen more, talk less

Stop wasting time


Discover your 'toxic habits' Get rid of them.

Hang with positive people They'll take you higher

Think big. Then act big.

Focus


And finally, start having more fun. Sure, the stress and minutia of our profession can be draining, but so what? A part of sales now is managing and even thriving on the craziness that comes with it. Drink it up!
