Compete, Don't Compare "Remember who you are!"   Janet Evans, one of the greatest freestyle swimmers of all time, owns 45 National Titles, four gold medals, and three world records. Just before the race for Olympic qualification on the Atlanta Team her coach, Mark Schubert, pulled her aside. Coach Schubert said to her, "Don't forget who you are."     At the U.S. Olympic Trials, Evans was surrounded by younger and perhaps hungrier swimmers. One said she thought the 24-year-old Evans was scared of the other competition. So as Evans walked to the starting blocks for the 400-meter freestyle, her coach took just a moment to remind his swimmer of her credentials. Don't forget who you are - compete, but don't compare!     Janet Evans went out and made her third Olympic team, winning the 400-meter freestyle in splendid fashion. Janet Evans, with Coach Schubert's help, learned that winning means excelling at being you.     The former Cleveland Browns'...

You are the Firm! "I don't know what your destiny will be but one thing I know, the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."   Dr. Albert Schweitzer Always be mindful of your aura of influence. Professionals in selling always identify themselves with their companies. They never say "the company," it is always "we." Prospects or clients cannot talk about your company without including you. You cannot refer to your company without including yourself. In your prospects'/clients' eyes, you do more than represent the firm --  you are the firm .   Here's a quotation we saw at the reception desk of a Dallas hotel some years ago. It describes the influence of a single individual.    "An institution may spread itself over the entire business community. It may employ all kinds of people . . . but the average person will almost always form a judgment of it through contacts with one indiv...

                    Virtue is its own reward. There's a pleasure in doing good that sufficiently pays itself." It's too bad we can't all read our obituaries and determine how other people view our life. There is at least one exception to this and that is Alfred Nobel. Nobel was the wealthy Swedish businessman who established the Nobel Prize. He had invented dynamite and became one of the world's largest producers of explosives. When his brother died in a test of explosives, a newspaper mistakenly printed Alfred's obituary instead of his brother's. It read:   "The Merchant of Death is dead . . . Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday."   When Alfred read it and saw that his life amounted to so much destruction and killing, he was devastated. He decided to do something to benefit humanity, and he used his fortune to establish the Nobel Prize for ...

Stamp It With Excellence! "The secret of success is to do the common jobs uncommonly well."  John D. Rockefeller, Jr. There is an indescribable superiority added to the character and fiber of the salespeople who consciously put the trademark of quality on their work. The mental and moral effect of doing things accurately, painstakingly and thoroughly can hardly be estimated because the processes are so gradual, so subtle. Every time you obey the inward law of doing right, you hear an inward approval. On the contrary, every half completed, the careless, slipshod job that goes out of your hands leaves its trace of demoralization behind and excellence becomes impossible.  There is great power in holding a high ideal of your sales work. Selling as a way of life teaches many lessons. One of the most important is that you are not paid for whom you know or for what you know.  As a professional salesperson, you're paid for the quality of service you provide with wh...

"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand,  but in what direction we are moving."   Oliver Wendell Holmes We firmly believe that regardless of your "field position" in life and your career now, you can win from where you stand. Begin today putting into practice these thirteen winning traits of super salespeople. 1. Be and stay committed to goals.   Know what you want to achieve. Be totally committed to that goal. View defeat as a temporary thing.   2. Be and stay self-disciplined.   Self-discipline is developed when you stop doing what you know you should not do and start doing what you know you should - whether you like it or not. It is forming the habit of doing the right things right. It is having, always, a sense of urgency.   3. Be and stay knowledgeable.   Continually accumulate usable information. It gives you a competitive edge. Have the facts and figures ready before plunging into an interview. ...
