Sales Training Tips:

Sales Seminar: What Are You Asking For? Clarity of Purpose

What do you ask for when you are with sales prospects? Are you asking for the business or are you avoiding that question. What questions are you asking in your sales meetings and what results are you getting?

What are you setting out to accomplish each day? Is your purpose clear and do you know what you are going to accomplish? Or are you letting whatever happens - happen. What is your mental chatter asking for? Are you worrying about what the sales prospect or sales client is going to say or that you are not prepared? Do you have the right attitude as you start your day, go into sales meetings and as you plan your time?

Top performing sales people have a very clear purpose with everything they do. They have a great attitude; they know they are going to be successful. They have plans for the year ahead and years ahead. They know what is important to them and they have a mental toughness that blocks out that negative chatter and insecurity.

Many sales reps get into a routine and do the same things day in and day out. They get in this routine and then it turns into a rut or slump. By the time you get to that point it is a lot of work to get back on track. The good news is that if you choose to, you can get back on the right sales track.

What do you ask for?

Over the next few weeks, pay attention to what you are asking for - or not asking for in your discussions at work and at home. If you say - That will never happen to me - Guess what, it won't happen to you. If you say that no one is buying right now guess what - No one will buy from you.

I had a conversation with two sales managers this week. They were both commenting on the fact that they had been successful reps and now that they were managing a team that it amazed them that they had to ask sales people to show up to work each day and make calls. The good news is that they know what they want from their sales team. Knowing this, they keep asking their reps for what they want. Some of their team will not make it based on our conversation. However they will create a team that will be successful. They know what they want and they keep asking for it.

Many of you will work in organizations with a leader or leaders that don't know what they want. Based on this they constantly change what they are asking you for. One week it is for new revenue or margin. Next week it is cost cutting. The next week they want to go on customer visits. They don't know what they want and don't know what they are asking for. It is very frustrating and difficult to work with these types of leaders. You also work with leaders who are very clear on what they want and they ask you the same questions and have the same focus - every time you talk with them. Whether you agree with their focus or not you respect them for the fact that you know where they stand and what they expect.

How do I know?

You need to know what you need to accomplish in your daily activities. In your next meeting, what do you want to have happen? Once you are clear on the outcome - What questions do you need to ask? Then ask them. You get clarity from asking yourself what you want. Keep asking yourself what is important to you. Keep at it until it feels right, you know it’s right and that you will do whatever you need to in order to get what you want. Now you can focus on what to ask for when you meet with others that will help you accomplish your goal.

Sayers Says...

What are you asking for?
What is important to you?
How is your clarity of purpose?

Be careful what you ask for................You just might get it!
