The myth of the natural born sales wonder
So many of us believe in this that we’ve come to look on it as an old friend. It’s a tempting devil. It lets us avoid taking full responsibility for our own performance. This common fallacy is a destructive idea that I’d like to eliminate from your mind right now.
Having trained nearly a million salespeople in my national seminars, I’ve met a lot of strong individuals who are on the fast track. I’ve met with large numbers who haven’t put their foot on the lowest rung of their potential yet. And, sadly, many of these people never will climb very high on their potential’s ladder because they are firm believers in the myth of the natural born sales wonder.
The myth cuts two ways.
A few believe they’re naturals. That’s great for confidence but it’s often the source of raging overconfidence. When that overconfidence persuades people that they don’t have to bother learning to be competent like ordinary mortals, they trap themselves far below their potential.
Many more people believe they’re not naturals, think it’s hopeless to work at becoming competent—and trap themselves far below their potential.
“I’m just not a salesperson by nature. Wasn’t born with the golden touch like Joe Whizzbeau over there. If I’d been born with his wit, charisma, and bear-hug personality, I could tear ‘em up too. But I wasn’t, so I’m never going to make it big in sales.”
Box Your Photo
Two weeks from now,my friend and her husband is celebrating their golden anniversary in their new house,and I want to give them something they can both enjoy.
The simplest and most common gift is food or wine. But I like to give something a little more personal, something that encourages intimacy
for the couple, like a photo box organizing kit for the tip down memory lane. A collection of fun sensual books is always a hit and for the
more spiritual of your friends, you can give his-and-hers books on understanding relationships. I decided to give them a photo box. I remember during our childhood, she love taking her own picture and keep it in an album for her own collection. I think that this gift will make her smile and happy.This will encourage her to continue on taking her own picture even they are old.
With this photo box, she can put all of her pictures from the day she was born and up to the present.The hard cover of this photo box protect the pictures for a lifetime.
