(A Personal Approach to doubling your sales effectiveness in an increasingly complex environment with ASTIR© Sales Improvement Techniques)

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” – Jim Rohn

What you feel mentally becomes how you feel emotionally and physically. Sales is not about events and circumstances nearly so much as it is about a person’s perception of the circumstances as well as his or her given potentials. A person’s success in sales has to do with what a person believes.

In actual fact, most people already know how to make every sale; they are just not using their own sales power. Sales training today are too much of a system, which is too rigid, and very ‘me-based’. The worst thing about systems in selling is that it took away the very basis of being human, which is emotions connectivity and relationship building. Also, it forces the salesperson to think, “Where am I in the system?” vs. “How am I helping this person in his or her desire to purchase what I’ve got?”

We are what we think. Success requires more than talent. While talent and knowledge are essential, the key that unlocks them both is our state of mind. When our thinking patterns are altered, new worlds emerge.

To lead an effective life, we need to be able to make things happen – to engage with our world so it will supply us with the experiences and results we seek. Making the right choices and ensuring their efficient execution have always been key elements of success. Disciplining of the mind develops self-discipline, which is the key to self-mastery and self-control. The more capable you become of disciplining yourself to do what you have decided to do, whether you feel like it or not, the more positive and powerful you will feel.

Sales are more than merely a system of selling; it is a perception to selling. Discover the ASTIR© sales improvement techniques switching from being busy to achieving results, will help double your sales effectiveness and efficiency with much more positive mental attitude, greater level of self-discipline, and developing better relationships – and be a dynamic achiever.
