How Well Do You Trust Youself?

How well do you trust yourself? This is not a moral question. This is one of confidence.

Asked another way way, how much do you believe in yourself? How often do you think you can rely on yourself to do what needs to be done or to do the right thing for the situation?

This starts with your preparation - total readiness for each selling situation.

Can you present your product in such a way that it seems the most attractive choice of any that your customers might consider? Do you welcome questions and objections because they only help you make the case for your product? Do you know how far to push in each presentation so that you leave nothing on the table but don't overreach?

Can you generate your own leads when normal traffic levels aren't sufficient for you? Can you juggle more than one customer at a time to keep everyone happy with your effort? Do you know what to do with each customer when they leave you and go home? Can you run your business as a profit center and take total responsibility for the day-to-day operation of it?

If you find that you don't fully trust yourself to be up to all these challenges, now is the time to begin changing that. 2009 is only a few days away. With that comes a new year and new opportunities.

My New Year's wish for you is that you can feel comfortable relying on your own abilities and skills.
