One’s attitude has a lot more to do with the level of her/his success than one’s aptitude, ability, IQ, education or other factors do. I’d like to get into the details of a salesperson’s psychology so that, when it comes to building your team and individual team members, you are equipped with the knowledge of what’s really going on in there. As a holder of a management or other sort of leadership position, you may have already experienced being a salesperson yourself. However, it never hurts to review and be reminded of what it’s like to “carry the bag.” I also want to emphasize the mental game because so many companies focus on external things, like product knowledge, licensing, etc. And while these things are all important, companies that focus on such externalities often neglect the cultivation of their salespeople’s proper mindset. I’ve always found this selling mentality ironic, because it’s what’s going on in the inside that will most dramatically affect sales.
A direct relationship exists between self-image and sales performance. If you don’t already, try to get a handle on how your reps perceive themselves. What kind of self-talk plays in their brains all day long? You and your team will never experience exponential success if it is not something they can mentally conceive of first. And the major precursor to vivid envisioning of success in the workplace is vivid envisioning of success in oneself and one’s abilities. How can you, as a sales manager, cultivate healthy, solid self-confidence and self-belief? One of the easiest ways to do so is to offer sincere praise. Ra1ph Waldo Emerson said, “Every man is entitled to be valued by his best moments.” There is no need to fear that you will create an egomaniac by giving someone simple but honest praise and appreciation for good, hard work.
Do you need a motivational boost in your fitness regime? Tired of the same old, same old? Wish you had someone to work out with but don’t feel like going through the hassle of finding someone compatible?
What would you say to letting your fingers do the walking and finding a work out buddy that is not only available when you want to work out but is part motivational speaker, part nutritionist and part fitness guru?
One of the best, long term value-added actions you can take for your team is to establish a Project lending library and help to foster an interest in management improvement, leadership and personal development. I’m not talking about a library for filing the documentation developed during the Project. That type of library is required and I will discuss it in a later article.
What I am talking about here is a library containing books, videos, compact discs and DVDs dedicated to helping your team member become a better manager, leader and improve personally. I’m talking about messages from some of the greatest speakers, teachers and authors in the modern world.
I am a researcher working on a series of documentaries to be released in the run up to next years Rugby World Cup. We are making a programme on all of the countries that will compete in the tournament.
Each of the episodes will be structured around Rugby culture in each of the countries and will focus on both amateur and professional teams. Essentially each episode will feature a presenter meeting individuals and teams who do something interesting and different in relation to Rugby, examples of this would be-

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently”
-Henry Ford-
I am a firm believer that failure is an important part of any learning cycle. In the case of English as a Second Language, many capable non-native English speakers become withdrawn, shy and even scared when faced with the prospect of having to converse with non-native English speakers. This is simply because many language learners are afraid to dare. They worry constantly about not meeting expectations, making a mistake, or failing while trying something new. In that vein, were they to adhere to Ford’s advice and take the plunge; (dare to make mistakes, and learn from them,) non-native speakers would benefit greatly from the learning process.
However, it is also very likely that you are daunted by the task at hand and you do not know where and how to start your career in motivational speaking. It is not surprising, if you feel this way, because the most difficult part of becoming a professional speaker is the first step.
At the very beginning, you are probably unknown to the public and no one in their right minds will pay you to speak to them. So the key here is to get your name and face out there and make a good reputation in your market. It’s not as hard as you might think. Let me share to you some ways on how to start your speaking career on the right track.
