MENTAL DIET: How To Be Effective In Sales

Promotion is simply a pathway to sales—but before any sale can happen, there must first be buy-in.

We are all salesmen and saleswomen. Whether we realize it or not, every day we are selling—our personality, skills, ideas, products, and services—to gain cooperation from others in achieving our goals or desires.

The Power of Belief

To succeed in any form of sales, you must first believe in yourself and in what you are promoting.

• If you doubt yourself, you weaken your influence.
• If you lack confidence in your product, service, or idea, you will struggle to persuade others.
• Without conviction, you cannot stir the desire in others to take the action you want them to take.

The truth is, until people buy into you, they will never buy into your product, service, idea, vision, or cause.

Building Self and Product Belief

• Know yourself: Understand your strengths, abilities, and areas of growth.
• Know your offering: Gain a deep understanding of your product, service, or idea and how it can address the prospect’s most pressing needs.
• Practice what you preach: Apply the idea you are selling, use the product yourself, and experience its benefits firsthand.

The Three Subconscious Questions Every Prospect Asks

Before people buy from you, they unconsciously ask:

1. Can I trust you?
2. Do you care for me?
3. Can you help me?

When you answer these questions with integrity, care, and competence, people naturally buy into you. Once they do, they’ll buy into what you offer and often become loyal customers.

People-Centered Promotion

Your goal must go beyond making money. Instead, focus on:

• Helping people solve problems
• Meeting their needs
• Adding real value

When you become people-centered and solution-driven, you will naturally drive your business or career toward lasting success.

Practical Guide

• I will practice introspection to identify my strengths, abilities, talents, and weaknesses.
• I will work on my weaknesses by cultivating corresponding virtues.
• I will dedicate consistent hours each day to deepen my knowledge of what I am promoting.
• I will continually create greater value and superior service to meet the deepest desires of my target market.
• I will be genuinely interested in people, listen attentively, and ask relevant questions to uncover their pain points so I can help relieve them.
