n today's competitive market, sales secrets are heavily guarded. As you know, here at The Green Sheet, our approach is one of open support. So, take a moment, read our list, post it, and pass a copy on to a colleague.
+ Be Positive. How you think is key. Think success, not failure. Believe in yourself.
+ Determine Your Goals. Write them down. Be specific. Keep them in plain sight.
+ Take Action. Goals are nothing without action. Lose the fear: just do it!
+ Never Stop Learning. Take a course, read a book, get training.
+ Be Persistent and Work Hard. Don't give up. Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Get disciplined.
+ Listen to Details. Ask questions. Get all the facts. Analyze all input. Learn from your mistakes.
+ Focus Time and Money. Let nothing distract you. Tune out the noise. Get organized.
+ Be Different. Following the herd is a sure bet to mediocrity. Brainstorm, innovate.
+ Communicate Effectively. No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others. Know when to speak. Know when to be silent.
+ Take a Break. Go outside. Grab a snack. Breathe.
And finally,
+ Be Honest, Dependable and Responsible. If you aren't trustworthy, #1- 10 won't matter.
