Have you ever thought about what makes good salespeople great?
I started thinking about this last weekend and created a list of qualities that, based on my observations and experience, make good salespeople great.
There’s nothing scientific about this list. It’s just 12 qualities that most great salespeople seem to have.
Here’s your list:
I’m in my office and the phone rings.
I take a look at my Caller I.D. and it says Air Force One.
So I start wondering why President Obama would be calling me at 11:15 AM.
Well, I didn’t have to say, “Good morning Mr. President” because the caller introduced himself and said he was with Air Force One Air Conditioning Services.
Very clever I’d say because it grabbed my attention, even if
it was for only a brief time.
Imagine being clever every day and imagine all the doors that would open for you.
Why be ordinary, when you can be extraordinary?
Air Force One was a great movie, and my phone call from Air Force One was pretty good too!

So, how are you doing with your New Year Resolutions?
How many things are piling up on your “To Do List?”
Your “To Do List” won’t finish itself. It’s up to you and how you prioritize everything in your life.
You have to understand that “The Key To Finishing Is Starting.”
When you think about it, it’s really a no-brainer.

According to Charles Luckman, “Success is that old ABC – Ability, Breaks, and Courage.”
Don’t wait for good things to happen to you, make them happen.
See yourself winning the big sales.
See yourself over achieving your sales quota.
See yourself achieving all of your personal and professional goals this year.
This is what active visualization is all about. Most winners see themselves winning before they actually win.
If it works for them it will work for you.
Selling success goes to those who have a burning desire to succeed.
Turn up the burners on what you desire most.
You’ll be amazed at the selling results you achieve.

Okay, so what’s the best financial tip I ever heard and personally used?
Well – it’s to save 10% of your annual income for your retirement.
Yeah, I know it’s hard to do. You’re saving for a house, you have 2 kids in college, and your daughter is getting married next August.
Who can think about and no less save for retirement if you’re dealing with any of this stuff?
Let’s say you’re dealing with some of these things right now.
Do you still write a check to make your mortgage payment every month?
Do you still write a check to pay your electricity bill every month?
Do you still write a check to pay your telephone bill every month?
Of course you do.
Now consider this. When you retire it takes about $960,000 (Excluding the equity in your home) to fund $4,000 a month in retirement income.
Trying saving $960,000 when you’re 62 years old – impossible.
It’ll never happen. What are you left with if you neglected a life time of saving for your retirement?
You’re left with Social Security (Maybe) and a part time job driving a Hertz airport shuttle bus.
The keys to a wonderful retirement include savings and compounding.
And remember this financial tip, it’s never too early to start saving for your retirement.
In fact, when most people seriously start to think about their retirement – it’s usually too late.
I’ll never forget what my Uncle Charlie said to me after he retired. “If only” I would have saved more . . .
On the subject of savings, I’m offering a half-price sale on my eBook titled “47 Ways To Sell Smarter.” The regular proce is $19.95 and your special savings price is $9.97. This is offer is available to the first 100 people who order.
Martha Washington once said, “I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.”
Isn’t it simply amazing how some people just love being miserable? Their glass is never half full. Negativity is etched on their faces.
If you’re an entrepreneur or in sales you need to keep your distance from these sour faced people.
Surround yourself with happy people and people who always seem to be smiling.
Of course, if the person with the sour disposition is your SPOUSE, I’ll have to cover that in another Blog.
