Must Not Lose Focus When Face With Life Challenges | Sales Coaching | Sales Motivation
An ongoing challenge for many salespeople is the ability to stay focused in the midst of personal turmoil.
Salespeople who cannot separate their personal life challenges from their career responsibilities generally find that their problems resonate in some nonverbal or emotional way.
When you cannot separate these personal issues from your career roles, you will tend to:
Reduce your positive state of mind, therefore impacting your success
Increase stress that will impact your health and ability to be creative
Send mixed messages to your prospect or customer
Lose the competitive edge
Negatively impact the ability to listen effectively and communicate with integrity
Here are a few steps to consider in order to separate the areas of your life. Do this so that one area will not have more control over another area than you choose to give it.
Focus on something positive rather than negative in the area of your life that concerns you.
Spend time before each call or appointment in a relaxation or short meditation period.
Focus on your long-term life goals and your progress when life throws you a curve.
Develop little routines or positive anchors for when you are troubled.
Carry some personal physical reminder with you of what is positive in your life.
Turn It Around
Learn to compartmentalize your personal life and career.
