Abundance And Success In Sales

This week’s affirmation of intention is I believe in abundance and strive for success.  This week I will take time to reflect on and celebrate my successes.

As I reflect on this week’s affirmation of intention, I’m reminded of a parable my mum used to tell us about a beggar who spent his life sitting on an old box against an old building where he would with his head always facing the ground hold out his hand to passers by and ask for money.

One day a small child approached the beggar and asked him what was in the box that he sat on.  The beggar replied that he had been sitting on the box for as long as he could remember, but had never thought to look inside it.

The small child told the beggar to look inside the box.  The beggar did, and was amazed to find a fortune in gold coins and jewels.  When he looked up again the child was gone.

How close are you to success?

Sometimes we’re so close to all that we need, that we don’t see the potential.

Abundance thinking for salespeople I believe starts with the understanding that our success is certainly possible and believing that with the right intention, there will be more than enough clients wanting to buy from us…..we’ve just got to be proactive about creating the right environment for us to connect.

My financial adviser has been a wonderful mentor for me in many ways.  One particular piece of advice he has insisted on holding us accountable for is to celebrate our successes.

Celebrate Your Successes

As a sales coach I pass this advice on to you.  In sales we can become so focused on the next sales target, that we forget to celebrate the successes along the way.

If you’re struggling to think of a recent success, perhaps you’re operating out of a position of scarcity and not abundance.  Perhaps you’re operating out of a position of reactivity rather than proactivity.  Perhaps you’re operating out of a position of perfection rather than potential.

Just as I am practicing this week’s affirmation, I recommend you do too – take time to reflect on and celebrate your successes, and while you’re doing that, remember to reflect on and celebrate on the successes your clients are achieving from utilising the value you’ve created for them when they’ve bought from you.

You have all you need right now!
