When Training Works!


If you want to be a better golfer, you have to practice hitting golf balls.

If you want to be a better basketball player, you have to shoot more baskets.

If you want to be a better quarterback, you throw more footballs.

If you want to be a better hitter, you hit more baseballs.


Obvious right?


Why is it that most people only equate improving skills to athletic competition?


If you want to be a better sales person, you MUST practice that too!


Here are 3 items that WILL improve your sales skills:


Read positive books and articles about self-improvement

Improvement will happen because it is a proven fact the more confident you are in your own ability, the more success you will have in your endeavors.


Prepare yourself in advance for the most common objections you hear


If you sell anything, you know that objections are merely a defense mechanism that are designed to gain more information. You CAN also plan in ADVANCE for the objections you will hear. Perhaps not all of them, but most of them.


Learn to Listen Before Responding


No effective communication can take place without properly listening. Don't wait to talk, actually listen so you can respond. This takes discipline and effort to do it effectively.
