CAN YOU BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE ?

In the world of sales this is a very important question


We are a part of a profession that is rampant with slick talking gurus who promise a quick road to wealth and success.   The problem is that the quick path is often a low road.


KEEP YOUR BALANCE
Imagine that you are walking a balance beam, Its not too narrow to walk on, but it is a beam so balance is needed to get across
- It takes focus ; Don't take your eyes of the Goal , looking right/left, or down will draw you off track .
- It takes a sure step - Be sure of your footing, this is your integrity, your training, and your attitude. make sure that your decisions and actions are based on solid principles and good values


BE CAREFUL WHO IS LEADING YOU
  Test the intentions and the methods of those that would seek to influence you as a sales person.  Are they asking you to defy the principles of the organization, or asking you to compromise your morals?  
There is no good reason to operate beneath your principles.  
Solid leadership will INSIST that you operate in a respectable , professional manner. 
I want you to remember that following is a choice, you will ultimately pay the price for following poor leadership, or reap the reward of following a good leader.

STAND WITH STRENGTH
Standing on the good SOLID principles of Integrity and Professionalism , and hard work will always reap long term success.
Even when you see others reaping short term reward from deceit and poor sales practices .  Keep your self disciplined   DO RIGHT
This may mean that you temporarily stand alone, but be sure others will join you in the pursuit of excellence.  Be an example worthy of being followed

The old Country song is right, you have to stand for something, or you will fall for anything

A parting thought

THERE IS ALWAYS A PLACE FOR THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT.
 THERE IS ALWAYS A REWARD FOR THOSE THAT WILL OPERATE WITH INTEGRITY
 THERE IS ALWAYS SUCCESS IN DOING RIGHT

Sell like your living depends on it
