Focus on your Numbers

calculator dream destiny guide 300x240 Focus on your Numbers Sales Law of AttractionIn tough economic times, do you get lazy, or do you work on figuring out ways to beat the competition?

Now is the perfect time to improve your sales strategy.

You can do this by following two simple, yet extremely effective practices:

  • set your goals
  • focus on your numbers.

Set your Goals

If you are in sales, you may have a minimum quota to keep your job.  You should have other sales goals beyond just staying employed. Do you want to win an award, or be the best in your company?  Do you want to earn a specific amount of money?  How successful do you want to be?

Setting your goal is imperative.  If you don’t know what your sales goal is, then it’s pretty apparent why you’re not doing as well as you could be doing: you haven’t identified how well you could be doing!

No matter what your industry, the top salespeople in your field have identified their sales goals, and they have all written them down. That’s how they got to be the best.  This is a universal habit among top performers.  If you want to be a top performer, implement this habit right away.

How many sales do you want to make this week?  This month?  This year? Write it down, right now.  Write out your goal in big block letters and post it somewhere that you can see it all the time.

Now you have a number to aim for.  You know, every day, what you are trying to achieve.  But how do you get there?

Focus on your Numbers

How many phone calls does it take you to make a sale?  If you know that you have to pick up the phone, on average, 24.36 times to make one sale, then achieving your goal is a simple process of applying a formula. (more…)

The Nap Tent

2331737961 5b9671bc68 300x225 The Nap Tent Sales Law of AttractionI was working an event this weekend, the Organic Brew Fest, for my day job.  I decided to try and make a few bucks on the side.

My kids found this incredible tent at Ikea, it was ten bucks, and it’s shaped like an igloo.  It’s easy to set up and break down, they play in it like its a hamster wheel, and have been in love with the darn thing for three weeks straight.  SO I went back to Ikea and picked up 5 more, set one up next to my booth at the brewfets, and put a sign on it that said

“Nap Tent, Free to Try, $20 to Buy.”

For the first two days there were no bites.  People and kids tried it out plenty, sure, but my pitch was still in development.

It was when I started running out of cash that I started manifesting.

I had been sampling the organic beers all day, and when I ran out of money, I realized I had forgotten to save $20 for my entrance fee into a networking event on Tuesday, something that I really need to go to.  So, I envisioned myself paying the twenty bucks to get into this event, and an hour later, someone came to my booth out of the blue and said, “Is this where we buy the tents?” He shelled out a twenty, and I made a sale.

This was very instructive.  When there was only ninety minutes left of the festival, I decided to focus on what I would do with the reward, instead of vaguely wish I had more spending cash in my wallet.

The T-shirts were eighteen bucks.  Drink tokens were a dollar.  I only wanted another one or two samples, and I decided I wanted a T-shirt.  I visualized myself wearing the shirt proudly, knowing that because I was wearing it, I was a successful manifestor.

This emotion fueled the manifestation.  I went up to a guy with two kids who was looking at the tent, gave him a pitch, and he seemed kind of stupefied as he said, “You know…I will buy that!”

It’s like he had this little voice in his head urging him to do this–it was his instinct, and he chose to follow it.  We’ve all had that instinct before, to do something because its just a clear hunch.

I got to see the genesis of the hunch during this manifestation.  And I like my new t-shirt.

Your Subconscious Bouncer

You can think that magic manifestation is complete hogwash, and yet, the Law of Attraction can still be used to help you manifest your goals. Here’s why: External vs. Internal manifestation. There is a process of retraining your brain to be on the lookout for circumstances that match your new paradigm, instead of your old [...]

What ARE you?

Dreaming is not manifesting. Desiring something is not enough to bring it about. Why? When you wish for something in the future your wish keeps it in the future–out of the NOW. If you are going to manifest your dreams, and make them become reality, then you must BECOME your dreams. Now. Today. This moment. [...]
