New Sales Managers: How to achieve your dream?

June 2, 2008 · Filed Under Mindset · Comment 

For those New sales managers working on their determination. Here is the result of Saturdays Britains got talent competition.

It has been a fascinating week on British TV.The public really do seem to have a say.
On the other side whilst George was winning. The New Nancy was also crowned. For Sir Andrew Lloyd Webbers production of Oliver.

The rise of programs such as this has really demonstrated how the human race really like to get behind their fellow man and woman. I don’t think supporting the supposed “underdog” is just a British thing either. My thoughts for what they are worth, is that we admire certain qualities in others.
Often ones we lack in ourselves.

Having an amazing thing happen to us and really living our dream is what we all want at quite a deep level. Saturday truly demonstrated that if you hold a vision and are totally determined great things do happen. More often than you think.
The conversation we have with ourselves are much more powerful than any we have with others. A true fact.

During the show most of the candidates where interviewed and it was very obvious who was going to win. Escala ( the amazing string quartet) where a great example of what dedication practise and talent can do. Though in their interview they already had a different vision ( possibly a contract with Mr Simon Cowell no doubt)

For young George he had convinced himself that people don’t get a second chance. He had so it was his one oppoprtunity and he was literally dancing for his life. Our minds and thoughts have such an amazing impact on us.

So what has that got to do with being a new sales manager in a recession? Well inspiration for one.
It actually doesn’t matter about the recession. Pick up any history book and you will read about the people that thrive in a recession and not just at the expense of other people.

It all starts with what you think about what you can do holding a vision and them moving into action.
No matter what industry you sell in, you will all know of certain teams and sales people that have achieved awe inspring results. Yes that could be you.

Mix a bit of belief with a vision, add a large spoonful of determination, move into action….and guess what just might happen?

To you and your teams success

New Sales Managers: Do you have this determination

May 29, 2008 · Filed Under Mindset · 2 Comments 

Last night I have to admit I sat engrossed again watching Britains Got Talent. Click the link above and discover what kept me enthralled.

It’s one of those programms you hate to admit you watch. Coming as I do from a sales background and being fascinated by people I love to know what drives them, their motivations and desires.

If you have not watched this video do it now. Just click the link. I’ll wait…..

Amazing don’t you think.

Determination and desire are two things we all need to acheive what we want in our life. Wether that’s being a street dancer or managing the best sales team in the company.

If you have a liberal sprinkling of both you will increase your chances of success by >95%

It’s humbling to think that this young guy comes from a not so great area of Manchester in the uk. With not much money to help him. It makes me appreciate what I do have. Its a great lesson that often its not about the resources we have just the mindset we use to bring them alive.

It would be great to hear your comments on this one.
