If you wish to cook, the recipe for success is to follow a good chef, follow his approach & ingredients.Avoid the situation where you get convinced by the taste, but not by the approach or ingredients used; and you start adding own approach & ingredients. The starting point of getting the success is to be a student in order to master the craft and once you have mastered the craft than improvise to become the master.

If you want to succeed then let go your beliefs and perceptions which are holding your success, the connection of success & failure is linked to the balance between your heart & mind, the mind might give-up on all the logical solutions, but heart will tell you to try one more time - may be differently, success is just round the corner provided the mind follows the heart__ call.

Skills are keys to the lock of success, as the time passes the effort in opening the lock becomes more intense, we start blaming the lock, but we seldom realize that the keys also need polishing, we keep checking the lock but fail to understand that the rust can form on keys as well.

The best preparation is to dream about your success while you are awake, the good feeling out of that dream will make us work towards making it a success. The best part about that dream is that it has a repeat value & each time the process towards success can be improvised.

For a batsman or a bowler, the job never ends at just batting & bowling, it continues with switching the positions in time of need, the stand out players never limit themselves to their primary role but change their style of play as per the happenings in the game. Anyone can hold a bat or ball in their hand, only thing matters is how well you use these things to make your team win. Similarly, as a Salesperson - your job is not only to think as a salesperson, but also as a client, and sometimes also to make an unfavorable situation favorable by planting an idea in a client's mind & creating a need.

Relations be it personal or with customers are very sensitive in nature, If you only remember people in time of your need, they will surely not return the favor, instead their favor will benefit someone who often keeps in touch without any visible benefits. The relationship will last longer if we start earning it & not take it for granted.

Sales business is funny, despite the target stress running in the back of our mind, we still chose & approach the clients to avoid rejection, we learn to live with the stress but we can__ learn to live with the rejection, which is the part & parcel of the sales process. To survive, we must act like a non-swimmer in the water, how the fear of drowning makes them hold on to anything in sight? In order to survive keep an open approach, don__ just wait for the rope of your perceptions to get pulled out.

Are you failing in sales? Are you not able to meet your targets on a regular basis? Do you easily get tired of trying? Do you want to be better than your team members? Don't worry! Try our magic potion: Add some drops of Focus (follow successful team members), some drops of listening (listen properly to customers), some drops of learning (be open to suggestions) & some drops of confidence, now mix it with a never-give-up approach, & finally garnish it with a pinch of confidence. Remember this potion works only if taken with a dose of belief.

If you have zero sales or no clients to meet today, it means your efforts yesterday, the day before, the week before or the month before that were not effective; what you are going to get today will always be due to the preparatory work done in the past.

Habits are nothing but a form of performing work with some satisfaction... We allow them to persist by being content with the outcome they provide. It's fine in some cases, but it becomes a disaster when it gets involved with our sales approach. We continue following the same approach despite not getting favorable results, eventually we accept the outcome so much that realization of becoming habitual losers becomes another habit.

It's a new battle, no matter If I won or lost the last one, this is a new battle & the only thing to take forward is the lesson from the last one, if I won _ why & how I won, & if I lost _ why & how I lost. I will enter this battle wearing my confidence, carrying a sword (which will be my efforts) & a shield (which will be the lessons learned from previous battles). Now defeat me if you can_

Every day we work towards creating our own persona, we may or may not realize it, but our actions & thoughts (positive or negative) adds to our reputation, people around us judge us on the basis of how much difference we make to their lives _ they may or may not be connected directly to us, but still our actions or thoughts may influence their work, lives or thought process.

Our mind is a wonderful place, people, aspirations, desires & things can walk-in any time, but it takes longer time for ideas to enter, due to the effort & change required to make__p our mind about not only allowing the ideas in our mind but also implementing it.

When you allow a third party to carry your thoughts and vision to the second party, always be prepared that the purpose or vision of your message will be lost in translation.

If you feel pride in what you wish to achieve. The desire to achieve more never remains a desire, it becomes a self-commitment to attain greater achievements.

Making an effort or not making an effort is a choice we make by analyzing the outcome before making that choice. Most of the times the analysis is based on previous experiences, what we fail to understand is, that things change, perceptions change & so are the people, the only thing we don__ allow changing is our analysis.
