Like something from a Dickens novel hard times have come for many and in like many Dickens stories there are gems of success, happiness and extreme good fortune.
Many people are feeling down, depressed and seriously miserable. I look up, look out and smile and turn an and ounce of happiness into a pound of success. A happy mind is a successful mind.
No matter what industry you are in and no matter if you are a large corporate or humble home business success is what we all aim for and sales for each are key to the success.
So, how does one sell in hard times?
Over the next few days some simple, basic and seemingly stupid tips and advice will be provided. I don't say you must all follow what I say and do but extract what you can, use it and adapt it.
Tip #1
Don't give up.
In the Wizard of Oz Dorothy could have so easily just given up and not followed the yellow brick road to go home. She followed, she followed some more. She made some friends along the way. The door was closed to her. She knocked on the door again. She saw the reality behind a secret. She fought a battle. But eventually she got home.
Giving up is the easy answer. Believe you me I have come close and have often said "I give up" only to come back with a fresh mind and determination to succeed. Giving up is a state of mind, it is often mis-read as I need to rest and re-evaluate. When someone says sleep on it it is often the best advice, but don't sleep on it worrying all night and not sleeping rather remove it from your mind and recharge the batteries!
Keep going, keep knocking on the doors. Many No's will lead to an eventual yes!
