NEGATIVE SELF-TALK WILL KILL A SALE STONE DEAD IN NO TIME FLAT

This is the biggest turn-off of all the turn-offs in sales. Negativity brings with it – doubt. And doubters aren’t buyers. The professional seller is fully aware of power one or two ill chosen words can have on the outcome of any call and avoids them at all cost. If that sounds basic, it is, but it won’t fix the problem of what caused the problem in the first place.

The reason for that is far more deep rooted and in the main caused by what the salesperson has accepted as fact, and then what they have done about it since. What most of us forget is that our mouths (in the main) echo our actual results in sales. So what is it that you are dwelling on and thinking about most of the time? The sales you made, or the ones you didn’t. Remember, whatever you say is what you get.

The subconscious brain is unable to tell the difference between a real situation and an experience constantly played out in the mind. In time, your subconscious brain accepts all your negative thoughts as well as the negative self-talk you feed into it AS FACT. In the main, that’s the main reason why so many write the poor results they do.

If at the moment you sell less than 50% of what your peers do, you most probably will have a problem with what you dwell on most of the time. Stop using your valuable time and energy feeding your subconscious mind with what could have been. You owe yourself more than that. Try telling yourself and others of your successes.

Whenever you are on your own take time to affirm positive thoughts of your successes and what you know you can achieve in future. Then spend as much time as you can learning how it should be done, and rehearse what you’ve learned until it becomes second nature. By that process, don’t be surprised if you begin to sell more because of it – because chances are – you will.
