Success habits

in #motivation7 years ago

Making cold calls was one of the most scariest things in the world for me. I always feared being yelled at by the person on the other end.

But I went ahead and forced myself to do. I noticed these three things.

  • People never answer their phone. Out of 100 calls made it seemed like twenty would get answered.
  • People who do answer their phone are actually kind of nice. There were a few times I had a great conversation.
  • The more calls you make the easier it gets. I felt momentum also after a while
  • There is a small booklet called The Common Denominator of Success written by Albert Gray. It’s a powerful book and one that everyone that desires more out of life should read.

In it Mr. Gray talks about the most important factor today that make men successful and what makes them a failure. That factor is habit. This blog post will use some of Mr. Greys words throughout.

We are where we are in life are due to our habits. If we have good habits we have a bright future ahead.

If we have bad habits we drift and end up nowhere. The person who is successful has one common habit and that is they form the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. Those are the exact words of Albert Grey

It is not something they enjoy but they just do it.

There is a common feeling inside every one of us and that is to be appreciated by others. Most folks I know are people pleasers.

Scared at the thought of bringing up a subject that a prospect does not want to talk about. Because we don’t like to talk to someone else about what they don’t want to talk about.

It just feels so uncomfortable. That is why there are so few successful people. Giving a sales pitch over the phone feels uncomfortable but the successful man or woman makes it a habit to go through these feelings until one day it feels natural when making a closing pitch.

One the other hand, the person that gives into his fears never moves forward and never conquers that fear. They forever sit on square one never experiencing anything new.

Why do successful men and women do what they do? Is it because they like it?

No way.

However, they have a love for pleasing results. So how do you form the habit of becoming a successful salesperson?

You will have to do what you don’t feel like doing.

Inspirational story @paulmo. Yes to achieve something great we should come out of our comfort zone and try something that we feel that we cannot do . The truth is that human being has the power to do anything. Only the thing is that we need determination.

I agree with you 100%. Thanks Robert

This is soooo true! I also noticed that if you are passionate about something that passion will drive you to do things without even the hint of or thinking about fear.

so true we have to let our passions drive us

Nice article a really nice inspiring story @paulmo thank you for sharing with us.
