SHUT UP AND GO SELL SOMETHING!!!

We are usually not that rude down here in Marietta, Georgia but I am tired of negative people. Pessimistic executives, managers and especially salespeople. Does anyone know how to produce today? Cut out this and cut back that. Scale down advertising, downsize people. You can only cut back so much before it blows up in your face. It also creates an extremely dismal environment in the workplace. Okay, okay I have pointed out the problem...duh?! What about the solution? Well, it's the same it has always been....shut up and go sell something!!! Business people are on their knees begging for somebody to walk through their doors with a fresh idea. Entrepreneurs are only human too. They need to be pumped up like anybody else. Nothing happens until something is sold. I know all of you have heard that for years. Hey, it's true! The sales force is the backbone of this economy. When they get down whoa Nelly, we are in trouble. Does it require you to think outside the box? Sure it does. So what. That is what we do as professional salespeople, find a way. Should you work harder? Maybe or should you work smarter? Definitely! I have been selling something since I was 18 and now I am almost...well...let's just say I have been selling a long, long time. I had the privilege of coming up around some of the best. I learned and benefited financially from it. You never, never, never give up. The next customer you talk to has nothing to do with the last one; so why lump everybody together? Stay positive, differentiate yourself from the other 50 salespeople walking through the door. Retain your confidence and conviction. Most salespeople will succumb to their surrounding environment. Become the exception to the rule. In closing, whenever a sales call is made somebody gets closed. Make sure it is not you. Hey! Shut up and go sell something!!!
