What’s your morning ritual?
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 4:38 am
Depression sets in as anger fuels it, making it worse. Your poor results worry you even more. All you begin to think about is the slump as it “gets into your own head” way too much.
Every sales professional goes through seasons of frustration and even despair. There is an aspect of sales that is very emotional.
“Let the negative emotions fester and they can drag you down, shipwrecking your career.”
Sales Is Raw and Emotional
One moment, you’re on top of the sales mountain and unfortunately the next, you find yourself tumbling down the side of a cliff. Sales is raw, emotional and not for the weak of heart.
There are four seasons in a year. We have seasons in our sales career. Quite frankly, nobody wants to talk about it. If you’ve been in sales for any length of time, you know sh%t happens.
You lose one of your largest accounts, miss quota, get pakistan telegram data rejected, or make a string of bad decisions – such as a failure to prospect – and wake up with an empty pipeline.
As Jeb Blount says, “The cumulative impact of many poor decisions, slips in self-discipline, and things put off until it is too late.”
You go from being hungry and aggressive too complacent and bored. What was once an exciting career becomes drudgery and routine. You hit the funk! It starts to wear on you!
To Breakout of Your Sales Slump, Start With Mindset
The person who can control the sales funk is YOU. Take a step back and become a bit vulnerable with yourself.
How about every morning set aside 30 minutes to reflect, plan and determine what you can do better today than yesterday.
Find problems when they are pebbles as opposed to boulders rolling down the side of a mountain.
