Just a quick recap, in our first episode, we talked about just getting started. The second episode talked about FOCUS and setting incremental goals.
Now the third part is all about:
Results will come over time after doing the proper thing over and over and over again.
But before anything else, I want you to know that this marks our 100th episode. We’ve been around for one full year. Woohoo! We’ve had awesome guests on the show and we’ve gained a lot of great connection with you so THANK YOU!
Now going back to the third part of the Sales Healthy series…
Full disclosure here >> Once when I started running, I was looking for results the minute I got done. Sounds stupid, I know. But a lot of us actually do that, don’t we?
We try to find instant results or instant gratification immediately. We want to see immediate results. We want to see changes at that very instant. Duh! Of course not. You won’t see any difference right away.
Generally, you won’t see big results after running just one day. Results come over time after doing the activity over and over and over again.
My wife and I went through a beach body workout which is a 21-day fix. Super grueling! We made a plan to get started. (We procrastinated for some time there but we finally got it started.) We focused. (I tried to bite off way more than I could chew and wanted to go overboard on these exercises.) But the most important thing I realized is that results come over time of doing the proper things over and over and over again.
After 21 days, we really saw a difference. I started seeing results. I was getting leaner. I was following the workout plan and the eating plan. And things were just awesome. But it came over time.
The same goes with SALES.
Implement the sales principles you learned over and over and over again.
With sales, you set goals. And you have all these resources in line which you think are going to help you out achieve your goals. And so you think you’re carrying a silver bullet with you. But it’s not the silver bullet that’s going to solve your problem right away, but it’s the practice of those right principles and all the things you learned from this podcast or the books that you read or people you interact with or with other colleagues.
Over time, keep on doing the right thing and you’re going to see the right and amazing results!
The top performers do it over and over and over again.
People I’ve worked with who are top performers, they do something so well and they do it over and over and over again. They are not just winging it. They are practicing things off scene and backstage. They’re prepping up and doing their activities and making their calls, whatever is necessary.
The more you do the right things, the more you see the right results. And the same applies to your business and your pipeline. You must apply things you learn.
My biggest question is: WHAT are you doing to follow through?
Sure you love a certain episode of my podcast, but if I were to follow up that with a question, what are you going to do to apply it?
So, apply it.
Be consistent at doing that.
Go forward and set up those plans.
My biggest key takeaways from this three-part Sales Healthy series:
Get started on whatever you have planned. Whatever goals you have for 2015, just set the plan. Get it written out. Get started. Then, focus.
Focus on that goal, vision, plan or map. Set your incremental goals. Set strategic, realistic ways that you can accomplish those goals.
It takes time. Don’t get down if you don’t see results right away. Keep working at it. It takes that proper activity over and over and over again.
Start this year with a bang! Start going forward. Don’t stop. You got 365 days that you need to push forward through. Work every single day and keep going. Great things can happen for you. Great things will happen for you!
It’s the fundamental and basic principles that generally drive results. People overlook them because they’re too basic. But follow and go through doing the basics and you will see amazing results.
