Brilliant sales results do not happen by accident. Of course there'll be an occasional fluke - but on the whole, sustained sales success certainly does not happen by chance.I've developed a set of questions to help you prepare for any sales interaction - whether it be a short catch up chat, a full blown pitch, a presentation or a conference. Depending on the context you can use all, or just some of these questions. Try these questions before your next sales call, sales meeting, networking event, conference, sales presentation... Here we go...

When you think of professional athletes, mega stars or business icons; you naturally think of success and achievement. What most people don't realize is the journey that all of those folks had to take to get to where they are today included obstacles, challenges and hard times.

Each year many of set out with the greatest of intentions as we proclaim our New Year's Resolutions, but in order for us to know what we want to change, we must conduct a complete analysis of our lives and assess what we like, what we don't and more importantly what we want to change. If you were asked to reflect on your life would you find that you have been living in your life every day in complete control of it?

Ask any successful person how they became successful. They will tell you that they had a vision and developed a game plan to achieve that vision. Sales is no different. Know your success metrics and develop your game plan to achieve them.

The Why is a powerful goal achievement tool that isn't used by many, only the super successful. When used properly, success is guaranteed to come. It is the single source of power that will drive your performance the entire way along your journey and therefore the secret weapon of goal achievement.

The bottom line is that we all want lots of things, but only a few of us are willing to actually do something about it. Is this the year that you finally have what it is you've always wanted? The good news is that it's there for the taking if you're ready to do something about it. I hope you are.

Change for many of us is hard to do simply because we are afraid of trying something new. We may fail, or we may look ridiculous or may be embarrassed in front of other people, so we often choice not to try new things and make excuses why.

I've always thought that sales reps have an invisible dollar sign $ above their heads with a number that represents how much money they think they are worth. It is this financial image that determines how they perform more than any other single factor. It's more important than what the economy is doing, or how their leads are, or what their territory is like or anything else.

One of the habits often practiced by highly successful people is the habit of regular goal setting. There is a reason for that. Long term goals compel you to work with discipline and concentration rather than going about your job mindlessly and routinely. Create a set of long-term goals for each of the five fundamental aspects of your life. Keep track of your progress.
