Why I Have A Positive Attitude Towards Sales And You Don't

If your attitude is about as positive as a one legged duck in a swamp full of alligators, read this. I'm going to give you seven keys to crush negativity and create a positive mindset.

The result will be that you will feel great and make more sales more often with less effort.

exercise DAILY & EAT WELL.I don't know about you but I have this theory that if you eat junk and never exercise you will become an overweight unmotivated, undisciplined slob.

Not only that but odds are your breathe will stink, you'll have B.O. have a hard time buying clothes that fit and most likely die 15 to twenty years before your time.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not advocating you turn into some vegetarian, yoga-addicted, eat raw food and howl at the moon exercise junkie.

Just that every day you get 30 minutes of make-your-heart-beat-faster exercise.

Why?

Endorphins!

Endorphins are the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Have stacks of them and you feel great. Deplete their supply and you feel bad. Endorphins are a strong analgesic, and make you feel great.

The release of endorphins can lower your blood pressure, a major indicator in heart disease, and have even been implicated in the fight against cancer.

Want to know how to make your endorphins grow like a demented popcorn machine on steroids?

Feed them!

HINT: Endorphins thrive on exercise.

It is that simple.

Want to sell more?

exercise.

2. FEED YOUR MIND!

It constantly amazes me that so many sales people are satisfied to come home, sit down in front of the one-eyed devillike some couch potato and fill their brains with some mind-numbing 'reality' TV show whilst they yell at their kids who actually are alive!

And then, have the audacity to look all surprised when they fail to hit their monthly sales targets.

Remember the old computer saying: "Garbage in - Garbage out?"

Well the same thing is true of your brain.

Stop and ask yourself... what have I been feeding your mind this last 30 days?

• Attend seminars.
• Read books.
• Subscribe to ezines.
• Join online forums.

3. HELP SOMEONE WORSE OFF THAN YOU.

Let me tell you a true story... Last December I was in Beijing, China. It was freezing cold and as I was walking back to my luxury hotel room one night, I saw a woman sat by the side of the road.

She had a flimsy blanket and she was repeatedly re-arranging it over and over again in a futile effort to keep the cold at bay.(It was snowing hard).

I looked closer and saw that under the blanket, something was moving. It was a little boy - about 2 years old.

I walked back to a restaurant and bought some food for her and her child.

When I gave her the food she started to cry. As I tried to feed her son I saw that he was too weak to eat. She looked into my eyes and said ten words that will stay in my memory forever; "My Son will be dead by the morning, won't he?"

The Lesson: You are most likely nowhere near as hard done by as you think. Go and find someone like this woman that you can help. Help regularly. It will make you 'count your blessings'.

4. WATCH YOUR TALK.

The good book tels us 'Life and death are in the power of the tongue!'

• Talk positively.
• Talk to yourself.
• Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are great at what you do.

Use your words to edify, strengthen , encourage and inspire not just yourself but all those around you.

Stop and think for a moment... Do YOU enjoy hanging out with bitter, negative, 'gloom and doom' people? Of course you don't!

Make a 'Conscious Decision' that for the next 30 days you will speak positively about and TO everyone that you meet.

Trust me you will see a direct connection between your positive speaking and your sales results!

5. FOCUS ON MARKETING! Want to know a jealously-guarded secret of most top salespeople? They have a laser-focus on marketing.

They don't just TALK about marketing - they consistently DO something about it. Talk is dirt cheap. Actions count in selling.

TRY THIS: Start using a Daily 'To Do' list and keep a record of every specific 'lead-generating activity' that you do on a daily basis.

If you are anything like the 'average' salesperson, you will be astonished at how little you do.

You will quickly identify lead-generating opportunities. I suggest that you prepare a comprehensive list of your lead-generating systems. Measure the ones that you are actually applying and note how much and how often you apply them.

6. TRACK AND MEASURE EVERYTHING.

I have written sales copy for over 500 different offline companies and scores of website owners.

It has never ceased to amaze me how many of them are flying blind.

Fact: If you can't measure it - you can't control it' and odds are that you will never improve it.

Here's another fact for you. Highly effective sales people don't leave stuff to chance. They are diligent.

I don't care what system you use to track and measure your results. But if you aren't tracking and measuring your results - identifying what doesn't work and dropping it, working hard on the stuff that does to constantly improve it - then please forgive my totally politically incorrect language... you are an idiot.

And you will always be a mediocre salesperson at best.

When you measure results, you will not have a positive attitude problem. Your attitude will go through the roof!

For instance, I have one website that invites people to subscribe to one of my Internet Newsletters, that has close to a 100% optin rate. (and no that is far from normal).

Can you imagine how good I feel each time I tie a promotion into THAT site? I have measured the results so I know what to expect.

NOTE: There is NOTHING quite a stupid in business as salespeople who don't keep track of what works.

Perhaps you have heard the old saying; "Half our marketing works - we just don't know which half!"

- - Garbage!
- - Hogwash!
- - Ignorant twaddle!

Start tracking and measuring your activities and you will know exactly what works and your positive attitude will explode as a result!

7. HAVE A LIFE PURPOSE. It has always struck me as strange that so many people live life with all it's great potential with little or no purpose.

What about you?

Do you have a life purpose?

Something bigger than you? Something that you want so badly that each time you think about it, puts a smile on your face, a song in your heart and a spring in your step?

If not... find one.

No one else can find it for you but trust me - virtually nothing can stop you when you have a purpose.

Why?

Because purpose gives birth to vision and vision is the 'rocket fuel' of positive attitude.

Finally, if you want to fill your mind with dozens of sales-generating ideas, then you need to read my Blog, www.SalesLeadSecrets.com every day. But be warned... it is addictive. Study it often and serious possible side effects like making more sales more often could be the result.

3 Easy Golf Swing Aids To Relieve The Shanks In Your Swing

So you've hit a rut, and think you are in need of a golf swing aid? You're not alone! And don't feel ashamed, because many golfers out there have many of the same problems that you do. But before you run out and start wasting your money, there are a few things you need to do.

First, you must identify your problem. Purchasing a golf swing aid that does not directly "attack" your problem area will eventually prove to be a worthless investment. In order to properly decide which golf swing aid to purchase, it might be beneficial for you to have a professional (or a friend who knows what they are talking about) analyze your swing.

Head out to the driving range with someone that knows proper swing mechanics, and have them jot down a few problem areas in your swing. If you are pushing the ball to the right (or blatantly slicing the ball) for instance, there are several reasons why this might be happening. A few quick checkpoints could be your stance, grip and/or swing mechanics. If any of these (or a combination of the three) are occurring during your swing, you may be able to quickly fix the problem.

If you are unable to maintain the proper golf swing, you may need to utilize a golf swing aid to get your body used to the correct swing plane, grip, stance or swing mechanics. After practicing with the golf swing aid for a few hours each day, your brain will "remember" how the swing "feels" when you hit the ball. The golf swing aid will point you in the right direction, or allow you to hold the club properly. After a while, you will be able to drop the swing aid, and be able to swing at the ball with the corrected form.

Here are three common problem areas to consider:

1. Stance is important in any golf shot, and it is imperative that you know where your feet are lining up. A free golf swing aid is available to you right in your golf back if you think your stance is the culprit. Line up your shot at a driving range sign, and address the ball. Without moving your feet, take the club and place it on the ground in front of you so it is touching the tips of your shoes. Leave the club on the ground and take a few steps back. Look to see where the club is pointing, and if it is not pointing at the driving range sign, you probably need to work a little bit on your stance.
   
   

   (If you want, you can place another club on the ground, and line up to the ball with your feet touching the club as you swing. this way, you will get a feel of how your feet are supposed to be aligned when striking the ball at a particular target. After a while, remove the club, and continue hitting balls on the range. Double check your stance every 3 or 4 shots to make sure that you have conditioned your brain to approach the ball correctly.)

2. swing mechanics are difficult to master. Your swing speed on the backswing and forward swing are crucial in making sure that your body rotates in harmony with your golf club. Hinged irons and drivers are a great way to measure your swing speed. If your backswing is too fast, the club will buckle. If your forward swing is too fast, the club will buckle again! Practicing with a hinged club allows you to get the feel for the proper speed, and allow your body to rotate beautifully with the club.
3. Your grip can be corrected quite easily with a yardstick. If you grip the yardstick just like a golf club, this can give you a good indication of how to hold the club properly. Not too tight, and not too loose.
