Scripture Reference

For I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I have told you these things, so that you will trust me and may be assured of the outcome and have peace. In this godless world you will continually face challenges and difficulties. But take heart! I have conquered the world – so you can be an overcomer, and live in victory. John 16:33
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3

Business & Sales Tips

Human behaviour may not be totally predictable, but it’s usually reasonably easy to predict.
If you can write your idea on the back of a business card – you don’t have a clear idea.
Maximise your training is to balance out your input. 80% of what you learn should be skill based training and 20% product training. If your company provides you with product training without skill-based training, you should work at balancing these percentages yourself. Otherwise your growth could be stifled.
Learn to appreciate there are times when you’ll get two orders on the one call. They are usually, “Get out and stay out”. When this happens, don’t let the situation affect you. The best remedy is to make a “Cold Call” as quickly as possible – and go in with both barrels blazing.

Not the easiest days for people in the selling profession. If doom and gloom has become the norm in your work circle and it’s turning into one huge pity party, look elsewhere for inspiration, and when you find it, treasure it.
