Someone asked me the other day if I would list the top 10 things I’ve learned In sales/management. I won’t be able to go into near
the depth for each one of these great lessons learned but I will do my
best. In order from #10, I will start with sales first. Here we go…
#10. In sales, To be successful be yourself! Do not try and be
someone you are not. And whatever you do NEVER try to be “MR.
SALESMAN"!!!
#9. “Perfect practice makes Perfect! Don’t forget, how you practice
your craft will have a direct reflection on your income and longevity
in the industry!
#8. Find a Mentor…"The Specialist" had a great number of mentors
that helped me sharpen my craft. Even the bad ones taught me something,
If nothing else they taught me what NOT TO DO!
#7. Be sincere with your customers or potential customers. I mean
really care about them, it will go along way and the customers can feel
it.
#6. The most important thing I have learned in the sales profession
is HAVING INTEGRITY in each an every sale regardless of who or what you
are selling.
#5. In MANAGEMENT, remember these people that you are managing are
under your supervision and leadership. Make sure your footprint of GOOD
is all over their FUTURE!
#4. Be patient! Remember, you are not where you are as an overnight
sensation. It took a lot of hard work for you and it will be a long
process for them. Be patient!
#3. Be Fair to all of your employees and be even handed. Your staff will be watching and grading YOU!
#2. Lead by example! The speed of the boss is the speed of the
crew! Never ask your staff to do something you won’t do, can’t do, or
haven’t done!
AND the NUMBER ONE thing I have learned in sales/management is to
put God first in my life, family second and my business third! I have
proven to myself that if I allow God to take me on His plan and I put
my family next my business is already taken care of!
