Sales motivation is at the root of all sales. At this time of year, staying motivated can be difficult with all of the distractions created by the fast-approaching holidays. Make a personal commitment to enjoy the holidays, but also to use them to your advantage. It’s a great time of year to network with people you haven’t stayed in contact with as much as you would like to have. It’s perfect for making phone calls, sending notes, and beginning to cultivate 2008 opportunities. No one will hold you to this. It’s up to you to be motivated. Don’t miss out on the potential the holidays create. Just remember that as much as you’re networking to catch up, you’re really networking to serve others and to build your business.
