A Positive Alternative to Self-Denial

PRICE ON SUCCESS -- July 12, 1999
Copyright 1998, 1999 by Don L. Price


In life, as in business, you must continually adapt to change if you expect to improve your position. The problem with many people and companies when things are going well, as they are in our current economy, take on an attitude of "it will never happen to me." This begins to take on a life of its own in self-denial behavior. The best prescription, no matter how well things are in your life and business, is always find ways to make improvements instead of resting on your past successes. With voluntary change today, you will save yourself from forced exercises of mandatory changes later.

Habitual success is achieved when we adapt the basis fundamentals of life with that of change. People don't like change, because it generally means uncertainty and disruption in ones life. Procrastination can become a favorite self-denial behavior that may help ease the pain of change for a time. However, change is inevitable. Any behavior can be habit forming such as procrastination which can make or break us.

Professional sales people can certainly profit by putting off procrastination for sustained success. Unfortunately, there is a growing complacency in sales forces across America.

An example would be the robust building industry, which is at its best in years and in full swing prospering real estate, mortgage, insurance and other related industries. People in those industries are experiencing prosperous times riding the crest of a wave of potential prospects calling them. However, history always repeats itself. There will be a few, the peak performers, who will maintain habitual success. Through out the good times they put off procrastination. They continue practicing the basics of prospecting, obtaining referrals, returning calls and service their client base with reliability and integrity.

To enjoy habitual success for a lifetime put off procrastination and don't fall into the trap of self-denial. Practice sales basics everyday. Master the following:
 

1. Over-learn your presentation and improve it daily
2. Become objection proof
3. Transform negative thoughts into positive action
4. Continue the habit of cold calling and other forms of prospecting daily
5. Practice self-hypnosis daily -- the most powerful stress management tools we have 6. Acknowledged other sales people soliciting your business. Show respect and return their calls, if only to say "no" to what they are offering.
7. Go out of your way to solve problems for your potential prospects and clients
8. Learn something-new everyday
9. Live a life of expected change and have fun

HUMOR CORNER

WHAT IF DR SEUSS WROTE TECHNICAL MANUALS FOR COMPUTERS? If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, and the micro code instructions cause unnecessary risk, then you have to flash your memory and you'll want quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell you mom!
