Dear Guts Is The Key Reader. You have come to expect that you can get solid sales helps here. Here is some sales ammo to put in your arsenal to strengthen your performance.

1- A sales career is more than a quick sale. You can con somebody once and call yourself a sales person. But to be truly skilled in the art of persuasion, you must practice ethics in the task. Bilking the customer into believing something untrue is not sales but being a liar behind a legal shroud. If you would be a true sales pro; you must learn present the truth persuasively; not package a lie cleverly.

2-  Great theories are good in the science lab but by themselves, they will make you no Money. If you do not ignite your ideas, with solid action, they produce nothing. It is great to have great ideas but make sure to put them into practice.

 3- A work no longer in progress is in regress.  A good sales approach is always being refined. It is never finished. It is like a work of art on an ever changing canvas. To be the best, you must thrive on continuous improvement. Yesterday’s laurels must never be good enough, if you want to be excellent today.

4- You must never forget your basic math. The genius of originality must always be added to the discipline of good habits. It is only when fresh approaches are added to solid training that the most desirable results are achieved.

5- Having your materials together and showing your materials with positive energy are qualities that must travel side by side. If you can’t find it, you can’t use it. But if you can find everything but can’t present it with conviction and interest, you can’t convince anybody of your points.  Have the balance of organization and the thrust of enthusiasm as twin files, in your performance portfolio. Be organized and yet energized!
