A lot of people refer to me as a “motivational sales speaker.” Years ago, I was offended by the term. I now embrace it, but to be honest, I sometimes still cringe at the phrase. Everyone in this profession, at one time or another, has heard a motivational sales speaker. Why, then, are so many people still unmotivated? The reason is simple: people may hear the words, but they fail to take action. Even if you are a self-starter, everyone still needs to be motivated. For that reason, I consider my role as a motivational sales speaker like providing you with a shower. You don’t take a shower once and expect to remain clean for the rest of your life. Instead, you take a shower regularly. In this way, being a motivational sales speaker is not an oxymoron. It only becomes one if you choose to not do anything different.
Is the Term Motivational Sales Speaker an Oxymoron?
