Get Fired Up! Re-Ignite Your Sales Life.

All sales reps at, one time or another, wake up and really don’t want to sell.  Maybe it is just one day.  Maybe it is all week.  Whatever the case, you have been bucked off the horse and you know that you will be in a world of hurt if you do not get back on the horse and ride again.  Trust me, this happens to all of us.  As a sales coach, I will get on a call with a sales rep that is normally ON FIRE and they will say, “Ryan I just don’t feel like selling today.”   I get it.

Lets explore six ways to re-ignite your passion for sales.

1.  Change your environment. When times get tough I find a new spot to work. Whether it is a coffee shop or a pool, I change my scenery.  I have gone to the lake and rented a pontoon boat.  I have rented a hotel room with a balcony and a great view of the pool. I have even caught a cheap flight to Vegas.  Change your scenery to re-inspire yourself.

2. Go back to your core training and use math to your advantage. You have heard at least 300 times that every “no” is one step closer to a “yes.” Right?  For those of you that have read my book Selling Backwards you know that I work my “Big 50 prospect list” religiously. I work 50 clients every month to get 10 quality meetings. From those 10 meetings I present 8 great proposals. From those 8 proposals I close 4 or more deals. What is your prospecting plan?  Figure it out and grind it out.

3.  Try the non-sales approach. Go to a web site like Inc.com and find a great article that will be applicable to your prospect or client list.  Maybe an article on motivating your team.  Then, share that article with your clients or prospects.  I truly feel that 40% of your sales communications should be non-sales related. You will be blown away at the number of times a non-sales email will generate business.

4.  Seek out inspiration. Watch a Tony Robbins video on YouTube. Listen to my podcast. (Wink). Read an inspirational book or blog.  Read Brendon Brouchard’s book The Motivation Manifesto.  Get inspired. Seek out motivation. It probably will not seek you out.

5.  Dress for success and rock it out!  What?  I’m not joking. Put on a suit or your best outfit and jam to your favorite and loudest music. I mean JAM IT OUT!  Go all out. Put on the makeup. Wear the suit only reserved for interviews. Do your hair. Do it. Dress like you are meeting with the CEO. Then, turn up the volume. Fake it until you feel it.

6.  Find some love. Call on clients that love you. When things are really crazy and I feel overwhelmed I will often call on clients that love me or I will call my Mom. Why?  Mommy loves you no matter what.

We will all fall off the horse now and again. No big deal. Get up.  Dust yourself off and get back in the saddle.
