how-to-generate-leadsSales motivation is not rocket science.

It is, very simply put, allowing yourself to be in a position to win regardless of what may occur to you.  Below is a sales motivation checklist with vital questions.

Ask yourself…

1. Are there people with whom I should not be associating because they have a negative outlook?

2. Do I sound positive and outgoing when I talk with people on the phone?

3. Do I listen to talk radio, check news websites or watch television news shows that predominantly have a doom and gloom tone?

4. Do I see things that happen in my life as problems to deal with or opportunities to maximize?

5. Do I see each day as an opportunity to serve and impact others?

6. Do I see each day as an opportunity to learn something new and do something different?

7. Am I goal driven and are my personal and professional goals supporting me?

8. Is my job grounded in my values and ethics?

9. Am I balanced with my faith?

10. Am I making time in my life for my family and friends?

11. Am I making time in my life for taking care of my physical condition?

12. Do I have positive people I associate with who can influence me in the same way I can influence them?

13. Am I giving back to people and helping others achieve their goals?

14. Do I count it a privilege to be able to help customers?

15. What activities do I need to do differently or not do at all because they impact me negatively?

16. What do I need to rearrange in my daily, weekly and monthly schedule to help me avoid negative influences?

17. Do I have a supportive peer group?

18. Do I celebrate success?

19. Am I thankful and appreciative of everyone who helps me or is in my presence?

20. Do I see myself as a champion or a victim?

21. Do I accept complete control of my actions?

Remember this: Your level of sales motivation is not controlled by anyone but you.

Motivation is personal. It’s how a person responds and deals with those things around them.   Sales motivation by itself will not result in more sales, but it will put you in a position to achieve more sales.
