Seven Signs That It’s Time For Change

Are you up for changing the way you sell? Do you really embrace change or do you just hold on and try to endure it? The hard part for most people is that we want to change others but the only one we can change is ourselves. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Let us become the change we seek in the world.”

If you’re not sure if you’re up to changing your sales habits, see if you can relate to any of these signs that change might be needed.

1. You’re still not making $150,000 per year (like your boss promised you could be when she hired you).
2. Your sales aren’t going up 20% or more per year.
3. You aren’t taking four or more weeks of vacation per year.
4. You haven’t fired any clients in the last six months, but some have fired you.
5. You’re still not getting your to-do list done every day.
6. Your existing clients aren’t hearing from you every two months like clockwork
7. You don’t know exactly what your income will be one month, three months or one years from now.

If any of these apply to you, is it time you changed some things you’re doing? Other salespeople are making things happen, and they’re probably not as smart or experienced as you. Is it your time?

Re: Spellcheck? - [quote="TheAnonymousMan":2f894q6j]When discussing the majority of people I would definitely say that most people hit the "Change" or "Ignore" button without thinking too much about the correct spelling of a word. All bosses are concerned about is getting the report to the Directors meeting on time.[/quote:2f894q6j] That probably depends on what the "majority" are trying to accomplish. I have word set to alert me about misspellings and grammatical problems, so I fix most as I go. But I also add names etc to the dictionary because I get tired of seeing the red and green squiggles when I know the info is right. If you're only going to click "Change" or "Ignore" then why bother to take the time to use spell check????? Business people that I work for want the info compiled in a timely manner and they want it right - which is fine because that's the way I strive to do any project. Sending out a memo, letter, report etc with obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes makes the person and the company look bad as far as I'm concerned. Shri
Books that should be written - [quote:1m0dcpd7]"The Idiots Guide To Sticking With One Thing At A Time and Not Doing Something New All The Time" [/quote:1m0dcpd7] I myself am a 'constructive' procrastinator... I don't know if I'm alone in this. I have about six or seven projects I'm working on at any given time. I get one project almost done... then my interest is piqued by another project and I work on that... I get burnt out and move to another...I know I do this so I have it arranged such that once I get bored or burnt out with one project, I can step right back into project 1 - or 2 or 3, and get that a little bit more done before moving on to something else. As long as you're organized and know where all your reference material/idea sheets are when you're ready to get back to work on each project, it should be fine. I also find that by stepping away from a project - I still work on it in the recesses of my mind so that when I go back to it - it's with some good ideas that I wouldn't have had if I'd continued on with it originally. Maybe I should write a book on how to Procrastinate Constructively... I've actually thought about doing that...because most people procrastinate, don't they...and very few are ever able to stop.
