Re: Anyone in Sales
15 years in timeshare for me.
I've learned that there are two groups in every sales organization; the negative ones who feel like they're always getting screwed, and the positive ones who make 2-3 times as much as the negative ones.
The attitude you bring to work is the attitude you will convey to your customer and will determine whether you will be successful or not, with no exceptions. Nobody likes a negative person.
If you're gonna talk **** about your company, your company will treat you like **** until you leave. If you aren't happy, do everyone a favor and leave.
Be careful about who you think is your friend. They might use it against you to promote themselves when the opportunity arises. Keep your mouth shut whenever possible.
Start working on your attitude on your way to work and you'll be almost there when you walk in the door. Metallica on full volume and Monster energy drink is good, especially past 40 years of age.
Leave your work problems at work and your home problems home.
Stay humble, grateful and helpful if everything works out and you are kicking ass. Nobody likes a showoff.
Never think you are irreplaceable, you are and probably by someone younger and more hungry than you.
Always remember to reward yourself and your family when you overachieve and don't forget to take needed short breaks and vacations to recharge.
Don't buy crappy cigars when you are having a tough month.
