Along with your goals, keep inspirational quotations where you can see them often. For starters, a wallet is a good place. In my wallet right now is a laminated card that says:
Selling On Purpose
To help people get the good feelings they want
About what they bought and about themselves
That comes from Dr. Spencer John
son, “The One-Minute Sales Person,” and it’s been in my wallet for six years. It is my sales motto, and that simple idea has made me a thousandaire, many times over.
On my refrigerator right now, in between the grade-school art, is a hand-made sign that says, “count your blessings” - always good advice – and a quote by Gordon B. Hinckley: “The best medicine for loneliness is work and service on behalf of others.” Having recently survived a d-i-v-o-r-c-e, that one has come in handy.
On my desk is a sticky note that says “make a friend, solve a problem, get a referral” and a little sign that says "People won't remember how quickly you did something - only how well" (was that Ziglar?) and, above the phone, the word "Smile."
Tomorrow: my bathroom mirror.
Nice post. Reminds me a bit of Paul's Tips, which you should probably check out if you're interested in this sort of stuff. Good luck with it.
