Time Management Tip

If you can do it fast, do it right away. 
There are many little tasks that we have to do, but we never get around to. Knowing that we still need to do these things, can be a big burden.  Your brain keeps sending you messages to remind you and keeps you from completing o those big tasks we have discussed.  Here's a tip that can help.  If it's something that will take less than two minutes, go ahead and do it when you think about it. Respond to an email, return a call, leave a message, turn in a form.  Get it out of the way and your mind will clear so you can focus on the most important tasks.

BRIAN TRACY SEMINAR COMING TO HOUSTON, TEXAS JUNE 12, 2008
 
People always ask me, "What has been the secret to your rapid success in business?" My answer is always the same:  I came accross a man by the name of Brian Tracy.  I read his books, listened to his tapes, attended his seminars and put his ideas into action.  In fact, I still do the same.  That's why I am so excited to invite you to attend a full day seminar with Brian Tracy LIVE in person, Thursday June 12, 2008 in Houston, Texas.  I have already attended this seminar twice in years past.  And you guessed it, I will be there again! 
 
And just so you can get the best of this seminar, I have persuaded the promoter to upgrade your reservation to VIP seating.  Simply mention my name "Cesar Rincon" on your reservation.
 
To make a reservation, click here:
 
or call Gary Troy at (281) 280-8769.  Remeber to mention "Cesar Rincon" and you will be upgraded to VIP seating, a $100 value, courtesy of MediaSalesSuccess.com.
 
I hope to see you there.  It was the best investment I ever made, and I guarantee that if you apply what you learn, your income will also increase dramatically. Let me know if you are coming, so I can make sure to say hello in person.

What do you do when your clients or prospects make you mad?

Selling can be an emotional rollercoaster. Some days, everything goes well.  Clients return your calls, accept meeting requests, and even give you referrals.  Other days, the exact opposite can happen.  And to make matters worse, some clients make you mad.  The question is, how do you react when this happens?
 
The ability to control your emotions is a major factor for success in selling.  You cannot let the ups and downs, reactions from you clients and external factors control your state.  I used to get mad at other people.  Finally I realized that, no matter how mad I got, they didn't even know I was mad.  And even worse, they didn't even care. My day was ruined and theirs wasn't.
 
Next time you run into a situation where you feel negative emotions taking over, snap out of it. Change your mood, work on something else, and focus on something you enjoy.  Don't let anger, or any other negative emotion linger in your system for more than one minute.  At the beginning, it will be hard to make the switch and snap out of it, but the more aware you become of your emotions, and the better you become at changing your mood to a good one, the more your sales will increase.

A great friend of mine once told me: "Don't get mad. Get the money!"  You should too.

Do you keep your word?

In business, your word is everything. People expect you to live up to the commitments that you make verbally or in writing.  Especially those commitments that you make verbally.  You better watch your mouth on a regular basis, because people expect you to do what you say you are going to do.  If you casually tell a client or a prospect that you will be doing something for them, you better follow up and follow through on your promise.
 
Everyone knows that talk is cheap.  It's easy to go off and promise or comment that you will do something for someone.  But, do people really expect you to do it?  Let's take a look.  Since most people don't do what they say they are going to do, people expect that from you as well.  If you do go with that crowd, you will become part of the "bunch" that promises and doesn't deliver.  On the other hand, if you are careful with your promises and do follow through, you will automatically stand out in your prospects' and clients' minds.  This will set you apart and will be the foundation for a great career in sales.
 
So be careful what you say. Make mental, or better yet, written notes during conversation so you have all the important information available to you.  Then, carefully go through your notes and make sure you do what you said you were going to do.  Your credibility will increase and so will your bank account.
