Sales Tip
- "As an Opportunity Seller, you must know how to "negotiate" or overcome objections and solve problems in a win-win environment. You offer solutions, not confrontations. Acknowledge a prospect's concerns and assure them that you understand the importance of their decision. Isolate the obstacle(s). Discover what is delaying their investment decision. Ask your prospect for their opinions, suggestions and ideas as to the best way to resolve the situation. Let them know you want them to make a wise decision that they won't regret."
- "Before us lie two paths - Honesty or Dishonesty. The ignorant embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For in helping others, you help yourself; in hurting others, you hurt yourself. Those who remain honest know the truth: character overshadows money, trust rises above fame. And honesty is still the best policy."
- "Successful people are not afraid to fail. They have the ability to accept their failures and continue on, knowing that failure is a natural consequence of trying. The law of failure is one of the most powerful of all success laws because you only really fail when you quit trying."
- "The most important ingredient of success. Learn to Love your work, for without Love your work is meaningless. Love brings life, hope, and joy to those who have it. Use it, cherish it, and more love & success will come to you!"
- "The purpose of goals is to focus our attention. The mind will not reach toward achievement until it has clear objectives. The magic begins when we set goals. It is then that the switch is turned on, the current begins to flow, and the power to accomplish becomes a reality."
- "There are no limits to our opportunities. Most of us see only a small portion of what is possible. We create opportunities by seeing the possibilities, and having the presistence to act upon them. We must always remember...opportunities are always here, but we must look for them."
- "This is your opportunity to present or "reveal" the ideas, products and services that meet your customer's needs. Before "revealing", be sure to paraphrase your prospect's expressed wants, problems or goals. Then "reveal" the idea that will solve the problem, meet the need or achieve the goal. Downplay premature price questions; first determine needs. Get their thoughts, feelings and reactions to what you've revealed. And remember, never "reveal" until you have first opened and probed."
- "Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value," Albert Einstein.
- Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
