As for how you can start to reframe your thinking when you are a salesperson focused on closing the sale, count the yeses instead of sales. Of course, you will still have a quota, you can be aware of the sales but you need to prioritize the yeses. The yes will affirm the fact that you’re moving along the sales path and going in the right direction. The object is not to complete the sale, it’s to go from a prospective outreach and hearing a yes. The yes could be for a meeting, and then sending a proposal, keep the process of them saying yes to you. You will feel great as a salesperson if you focus on this concept. It’s like positive reinforcement of the entire selling process rather than struggling along to make a sale.
What you put out there as far as thoughts and vibrations, it comes right back to you. It’s the law of attraction, if you are attracting yes in your mind, you can attract it in your life. This isn’t just about sales, this is about how many yeses you get at home, with your spouse, with your kids. Look at the law of positive attraction, value attraction, now you add the law of yes attraction and you have completed a selling process where it’s exciting to follow, easy to implement, and rewards are instant.
If you can look at this from a lighthearted way, yet a serious understanding of what it means to you, then you will take a more positive and winning approach as you go out to face your competitors.
