The life of a sales professional can often be a lonely one. Even when working in teams, we are each individually fully responsible for our results.
Needless to say the top sales professionals are often flying high, inspired and motivated while those challenged are doubtful and their minds start playing mind tricks on them. Their self talk becomes negative, they end up having negative expectations and by law, not by chance, it comes to pass.
Today I want to share with you the mindset and mental fitness you need when facing a sales slump and the demons are out to get you. NEUROPLASTICITY!
Your incredible brain has the ability to create new neural pathways and alter existing ones in order to adapt to new experiences, learn new information and create new memories.
How can this be achieved?
Think in pictures: By holding in your mind the goal as achieved. See nothing else.
Think quality thoughts: Think EXCLUSIVELY of your achievement.
Choose your words: Using only the words which celebrate and do not negate your achievement.
Choose your associates: Stick with those people who will support, serve and assist your achievement.
Never quit: Winners NEVER quit and quitters never win.
This practice of neuroplasticity has been adopted by psychology, sport and business and has been practised in every major religion for thousands of years long before it had a name. Think about the monks of every faith, praying, chanting, studying, remembering and only speaking about the Creator. If a vagabond could become a saintly person then surely a sales person can become a sales professional through the same principles of neuroplasticity.
In parting I want to leave you with a gem: “IF ITS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME…ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT I WIN TODAY”. Dont worry about yesterday or tomorrow. Make neuroplasticity a habit and sow seeds that will yield successful results and surely success will come knocking on your door.
