Below are some ways to act more Independently:
- Instead of always talking about the economy and how bad it is. Why not make the choice to discuss strategy on how to help your customer win more business.
- Instead of doing your "Milk Run" sales calls...do research and find some information to help your customer be better at their business. Try finding relevant information on the Internet, trade publications or use your companies expertise. Find something new for every sales call and make the CHOICE to share it. Your customer will be impressed that you took the effort to help them.
- Instead of waking up on Monday and waiting for the week to attack you...Attack the week. On Sunday night or Monday AM, list out all of your value added priorities and make the CHOICE to schedule time during the week and do it.
- Instead of relying only on your past experience (which is important). Make the CHOICE to seek more knowledge. Web conferences are very inexpensive and you gain gain knowledge on anything.
- Oh yeah one more thing...When someone asks you "How's it going?" do not say "It's going". You can make the CHOICE to make your days "Great"...by the way, they probably do not really want to know how your day is going.
Those are just a few ways to celebrate your independence in selling. I am off to watch fireworks, eat hot dogs and enjoy my family....HAPPY 4th!!!!
