Sales Goals in a Tough Economy

March 21st, 2009 Remez Sasson Posted in Goal Setting, economy, goals, sales No Comments »

Making your sales goals in a good year is one thing, but attaining them in a difficult year is an entirely different challenge. Putting aside the common clich? that when times are tough, great salespeople are made, the reality is that making your goals puts more money in your pocket. Therefore, I keep reminding salespeople to think of how many times in the past they’ve watched a customer materialize out of nowhere only to become a major player in helping reach their year-end objectives. If you’ve been in sales for any length of time, you’ve had this happen. I am not advocating that you kick back and relax while you wait for the big customer to appear. I understand that it takes work to make your goal, but, at the same time, don’t lose sight that occasionally nice breaks do occur. The good news is that you can be successful if you’re willing to take the time to work through the following steps, despite the current state of the economy.

The first step to help you make your sales goals in a tough economy is to break down your goal into weekly objectives. Keep in mind, however, that these should not be based on closing “x” number of sales, but instead on accomplishing “x” number of activities that you’ve found are critical to your success. When your goals are strictly measured in terms of sales dollars or units, you can easily become dejected by numbers you’re not happy with. Activities to monitor may include making prospecting phone calls, conducting customer presentations, or having follow-up meetings. This breakdown strategy is similar to the way coaches successfully motivate their teams. By dissecting the game into a series of activities that the coach knows the team can accomplish, they will be in a better position to win the game.

Release the Money Madness and Unleash YOUR Money Magic

November 11th, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Deliberate Creation, Personal Growth, abundance, audio programs, economy, financial freedom, money No Comments »

After last week’s election, there seems to be a lot more hopefulness, at least around here. However, the mainstream media didn’t skip a beat - well maybe one little beat - before jumping right back into the negativity and fear mongering.

Here are a few of the headlines from this week’s financial news sources:

CNN wrote: Recession fear batters Wall Street: Stocks retreat on worries about corporate health amid the global economic slowdown.

ABC wrote: DHL Stamps Out 9500 jobs.

And here are the last three weekly “Vital Signs” headlines from Business Week:

  • Weak Economy Weighs on Profits
  • Employment Outlook Gets Gloomier
  • Business Activity Shows a Deepening Recession

I think you get the picture.

Yes, there is a glimmer of hope. There is some light. But the vast majority of people are still focusing on what? …

That’s right: Negativity. Gloom and doom. Fear, doubt, and uncertainty.

As a Deliberate Creator, you have an unprecedented opportunity, right now, to take advantage of this environment.

Most people are focused on lack. And guess what are they experiencing in their lives?

Exactly. Lack, scarcity. They are watching money flow out of their lives. And as money flows out of their lives they focus on it, which amplifies the energy of lack and so more money flows out. It’s a vicious cycle.

But there is always balance in the universe. There has to be. And the money that is flowing out of people’s lives now - and there is a LOT of it - has to be going somewhere. That money doesn’t just vanish!

And the Deliberate Creators who are able to pull their attention out of the fear, doubt, confusion and chaos that is swirling around, and shift it to the abundance that is available will reap bountiful rewards in this turbulent time.

It happened during the Great Depression and it’s going to happen now. Except that now there are many more high vibration, highly conscious people with the potential to bring that higher level of consciousness to the process.

I recently released an audio program called: Release the Money Madness and Unleash YOUR Money Magic.

There is no cost for you to download Part 1 of the program. And when you do, you’ll discover exactly why this time of financial turbulence provides such an amazing opportunity for financial growth.

You’ll learn how the exclusion of Spirit from our financial interactions has a profound impact on all of our lives and the well-being of our planet.

You’ll learn why this time of crisis is an especially ripe moment for re-injecting sacredness into our relationship with money and why doing so will help take you to the next level of financial abundance.

You’ll learn how to leverage the knowledge that money is energy (you may have heard that statement, but have you ever been shown how to use that knowledge to enhance your financial situation? If not, you’ll definitely want to listen to this program).

And much more.

As I said, there is no cost for Part 1. Here’s why.

I’m using this program to try out the Pay it Forward model.

Basically, I am paying your way into part 1 of this audio program. I feel so strongly that everyone can benefit from this information, that I don’t want there to be anything in your way.

So go download Part 1 of Release the Money Madness and Unleash YOUR Money Magic right now:

Once you have listened to Part 1 you’ll have the opportunity to Pay it Forward. In the recording I tell you more about that opportunity, and why Paying it Forward is such an amazing tool for enhancing your own prosperity!

But for now, go get Part 1, listen to it and be inspired to THRIVE in this environment.

The State of Economy and Positive Attitude

October 5th, 2008 Remez Sasson Posted in economy, positive attitude, success No Comments »

It is a well-known fact that when the state of economy is good, one has a satisfying and well paying steady job, one feels good and tends to be happier and more relaxed.

On the other hand, when the state of the economy looks bleak and unpromising, and one is jobless and lacks money, there is a tendency to think and feel negative about everything. There is no happiness and no inner peace.

Examine people’s attitude toward anything, and you will discover that is very much affected by circumstances and situations. It is so easy to accept negative thoughts in harsh circumstances and see everything crumbling down.

If your life now is not what you want it to be, and you constantly think how bad the situation is, you keep hammering these thoughts into your subconscious mind. This makes you believe that there is no way out. Your inability to stop thinking and focusing on your current situation makes it look worse than it really is, stifles creativity and initiative, draws negative thinking and self pity, and increases the chances of making reality much worse.

Being negative, crying over what you have lost and expecting lack and difficulties will not make things better.

The secret of change and improvement is a change of attitude!

Your positive attitude can change your financial condition, in spite of national or global economic conditions.

Acquiring a positive attitude is most important, even if it might not be so easy when your job is at risk, or when don’t have a job. You have to act as the gatekeeper of your mind and refuse entrance to thoughts about self-pity, failure and lack, and let in only thoughts about success and growth.

You might say that it is like cheating yourself, but it looks this way only in the beginning. Before long, your subconscious mind will accept the new reality you are creating in your mind, and will work overtime to make it be true, if only you let it, and don’t revert to negative and pessimistic thinking.

I’m Taking the Economy Out of the Equation

September 30th, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Personal Growth, Upcoming Events, Workshops, awakening to greatness, economy, personal growth retreats, seminars No Comments »

Enough already!That’s what I say. Enough of the scare tactics and fear mongering to get people to stay small and focused on survival rather than on thriving.

Look. I haven’t watched TV news in over 10-years. I rarely listen to the news on the radio or read a newspaper. When people ask me how I “keep up with what’s happening in the world,” I let them know that, unless you’re living in a cave in the Himalayas it’s pretty much impossible to NOT know what’s going on.

It certainly did not take long to find out out that the geniuses in Washington are looking to spend 700 Billion dollars to bail out a bunch of equally intelligent companies.

Look, I’m all about awakening you to your potential. My mission is to reconnect you with the
Greatness you brought into this world. Yes you!

And I know, for sure, that paying attention to the news is one of the surest ways to keep yourself in a state of fear and disconnected from your full potential.

Think about it: When was the last time you felt uplifted or full of joy after watching the news?

If you want to be great, focus on your greatness.

If you want to activate more of your potential in this lifetime, focus on your purpose.

If you want to stay small and scared, watch the news!

Now with all the talk about the economy and the bailout and the this and the that, I’ll admit that I’m getting tired of hearing the “I can’t afford it” excuse from people interested in the upcoming Awakening to Greatness 3-day retreat.

But here’s the thing: with all the shenanigans going on “out there” this is absolutely the time to immerse yourself in an environment that encourages, supports and awakens your greatness!

This is absolutely the time when you need to discover that you create your own economy. Your financial situation is NOT based on what’s “happening” out there. It’s based entirely on what is happening inside of you.

I know that’s a hard one to swallow when you’re so focused on the 700 Billion dollars that the next 25 generations are going to be paying off. But until you refocus your attention on your world and the power you have to create your reality, you’re just one of the herd. And I don’t think that’s where you want to be when the herd gets rounded up!

This is absolutely the time that you need to connect deeply with other Deliberate Creators who want to step outside of the herd and create their own awesome life, regardless of what is going on around them.

This is absolutely the time when you cannot NOT afford this!

Look, I know how difficult it can be to step outside of that collective consciousness. I know how hard it is to choose to act in spite of fear and turn your back on the people who think you’re crazy.

But I don’t want you to stay stuck in that place. I want you to step through your fear. I want you to say “Yes” to what YOU know is right… in spite of what those around you think and say.

And to help you say “yes” I’m going to do something crazy! I’m going to take the economy out of the equation when you say yes to the Awakening to Greatness 3-day retreat.

Here’s the deal. To get into this 3-day retreat, you just have to pay for the 2-night’s lodging at the Granlibakken Resort and Conference Center, your meals (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch) and course materials.

That comes to just $467!

Now I will ask for a donation at the end of the retreat. But I really don’t care if you make a donation or not! Pay whatever you can. Pay what you feel the retreat was worth to you. Pay nothing! It doesn’t matter!

I just want you to be there.

Why?

Because I know just how important this is for you.

I know that this weekend will change your life.

I know that it will help you step out of the collective fear and dysfunction that permeates our culture right now.

I know that it will help you step into your greatness.

And what the world needs now, more than anything else, are people who are willing to claim their greatness and let their light shine brightly.

And your light will be shining a whole lot brighter after this weekend.

So don’t let the economy be the reason you say no to your greatness. Say yes to this opportunity. Make this investment in yourself and stop spiraling down into the web of fear that’s being spun around you.

Come see, feel and taste your greatness and know that it is wanted and needed in this world NOW!

Go get all the details and get registered for the Awakening to Greatness Retreat here.

You know, some people would say I’m completely insane for doing this. I’m actually in the process of refunding a LOT of money to people who have already registered for the retreat. But I am sick and tired of seeing people’s greatness squashed and squelched. It’s time for your greatness to shine out into the world. And if I can help make that happen by helping you say YES to this retreat, then I’m happy to refund that money!

Also, I’m not using any scarcity tactics here. There is no time limit on this. This offer is open right up until pre-registration closes on October 8th (and you must pre-register for this event). The only (real) limiting factor is the number of available rooms. I only have 5 rooms left in my original block of rooms. (That’s 10-people double occupancy). Once those are gone, I’ll need to close registration and see if there are additional rooms available. So if you’re interested, go get registered now!
