Get The Best Out Of Your Business

Have you ever wondered why some weeks are just better than others? Did you ever think that maybe each one could be better than the last one, on and on, forever? Here’s a tool for making that happen.

Get out a piece of paper and do the following:

1. Write down a description of your absolute best sales experience this past week. It doesn’t have to be a closed sale; your best experience can be a phone call, a meeting or even just an idea you had.

2. Dream for a few minutes and think about what your life would feel like and look like if that same thing happened every single week. What would your business look like if you repeated that great experience every week? Write down your vision of that business.

3. Start thinking of how you created that moment and jot down the things that went into making that special thing happen. What opportunities did you seize, what actions did you take to create that experience?

4. List a few things that you can do next week to make that great experience happen yet again. Write out how you can repeat those actions that led to that best sales moment.

Each week, spend a little time doing this exercise. I do mine on Friday afternoon. It takes only three or four minutes and creates a system in which you constantly repeat and build on all the best things in your business.

Do this regularly and watch your sales soar, your customer satisfaction skyrocket and your employees’ morale take off. It’s a quick and easy way to emphasize what’s best in your business and multiply it. (If you have any stories to share, I would love to hear them.)
