Mindset First
If you want to learn to sell, you can learn to sell! You have to believe you can be good at sales, to be good at sales. It’s a mindset. There are three elements that make for great sales:
- Mindset – Positive and belief in the value of you and what you sell
- Toolset – CRM, marketing, automation tools
- Skillset – your scripts and ability to project them.
All three are important. But mindset holds precedence. Just like you have to decide to be a smiler, you have to decide if you want to be a seller. But…. you have to want it.
Sales Management
Sales Managers should hire for mindset first. Sales is primarily a task of problem solving, not trickery and persuasion. Consider your own mindset around sales. Your company. Your people. If it’s not favorable, what can you do to change it today to make your team more productive and successful.
