Dedicate Yourself to Selling
- “To contrive is nothing! To construct is something! To produce is everything!”
– Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. - We are all salespeople. Every day of our lives, we are selling our ideas, our plans, our products and our enthusiasm to everyone.
- Dedicate yourself to excellence in selling. Resolve to be a winner. Declare war on mediocrity and pessimism.
- Dedicate yourself to the ideal that yours is a great profession – one that is filled with endless opportunities for service to your clients and with rich rewards for yourself.
- Dedicate yourself to your company, your organization, and your associates. Prove your gratitude for the opportunities they have provided by giving them your best.
- Dedicate yourself to the daily task of turning problems into challenges, difficulties into opportunities, lethargy into enthusiasm, and procrastination into action.
- Be done with excuses. Someone has defined excuses as “the tools with which persons with no purpose in view build for themselves great monuments of nothing.”
- Every day, affirm to yourself the importance of your profession. Tell yourself a hundred times a day that your work is a vital service to your clients, essential to the economy of our nation, and the welfare and happiness of you and your family.
- The depth of your dedication will determine the altitude of your achievement. Sink the roots of dedication deeply into the bedrock of determined purpose, daily preparation, and detailed planning.
