====================
e-Life is a Team Sport. ALWAYS ask for help. Self-reliance
and jagged individualism are "HIGHLY" Over-Rated. Both
breed jealousy and contempt. Just because you're hustling
for sales all by yourself, doesn't mean you have to be
alone.
Help surrounds you, but you must ask for it. Using your
selling skills in all directions is impotent. Ask your
administrative support people how best to proceed. Make it a
HABIT to say "thank you" all day and night. You shouldn't
attempt to dump difficult situations up the line, BUT....
make it clear that you need a little help,
In the end, GOOD or bad, YOU retain full responsibility for
the outcome of all situations in your charge. You should
always supply the company staff you represent with your
efforts and they in effect, WILL work with you and FOR you,
in supporting what you do. Use the chain of command; NEVER
be afraid to ask.
Selling support people on the idea of supporting you is
definitely MORE important than selling any single, big
account. Without the first sale, you'll have REAL trouble
with the second sale. How good ARE your sales skills?
Here's a thought:
The universe CAN'T say "NO" to you. It ONLY limits how much
it says "YES!"
The question s this: How FAR do you really want to GO?
Getting what you WANT in LIFE, requires a great deal of
personal courage, stamina and vision. However, we ALL need
help at different points in time. Don't assume that
everybody in your company is on your team. They MUST also
be recruited ( BY you ) and then rooted on to victory and
thanked in every way possible.
In e-sales, prayer shouldn't be your only option. Don't do
anything alone - ASK for help. Be sure you get qualified
assistance or you'll stagnate and sell zero.
