What are you struggling with in your sales career?
Have you ever taken an inventory of what's holding you back?
Throughout your life you're bound to struggle from time to time. Hey, we all do. It's no crime to struggle. It is however poor judgment to struggle needlessly and endlessly.
One of my favorite quotes is by Albert Einstein who once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Your life isn't designed to face endless struggles. They come and they go. The more you learn about what you're struggling with the sooner you'll get rid of them.
Continuous learning is one of the solutions for dealing with the stuff you face in your sales career.
The opportunities to learn are limitless. You can read books, listen to CDs, watch DVDs, subscribe to blogs and even newsletters. You can take courses at your local university and today it's possible to take courses online.
Just don't stop learning because it's too important to be put on the back burner of your life.
Here's how you can deal with whatever you may be struggling with today.
Got struggles =>> Get competence =>> Get confidence

Just like your actions follow your thoughts, your self-confidence always improves with increased competence. And I just don't think you can acquire competence via osmosis.
I didn't become a student of selling until I became a teacher of selling and maybe, just maybe that's another example of insanity.
I don't have all the answers because I'm still a student with a thirst for more knowledge. It's a journey not a destination. But what a journey it is.
Why struggle when you can choose to grow and prosper.
Ya know - every day, in every way, you can get better and better!
