Batteries Not Included

Watching a commercial for batteries earlier tonight reminded me of the classic refrain about Christmas toys: "batteries not included." Then I thought about how we as salespeople constantly need to have our batteries recharged.

Whether we have a coach or read books or listen to audio messages or use other ways to inspire and refresh us, we all need to regroup and refocus our energies and spirit.

We need that external motivation to recharge our inner desire and drive that propels us to give our best effort and to persevere and keep going even in the midst of challenges that would derail or stop us from completing our mission.

We have goals that require our maximum effort to achieve - full battery power. And we have a series of customer encounters along the way that allow us to demonstrate our abilities and help our customers to achieve their dreams and desires in selecting and acquiring their own home.

The next time we hear anything about batteries, let's be reminded to check ours and make sure they are fully charged for our missions.
