Sales - Choosing the Right Job

Jobhunting

http://savvyconsumer.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/luckyoliver-1127573-medium-job_hunting1.jpg

Job hunting is almost a hobby with me, long before there was a recession or any job insecurity, I liked to scan the help wanted ads to see what was out there. I suffer from versatility - I can do almost anything - except sing in tune or dance in step, but I do not have a particular thing that I must do - except help others.

I know I am not alone in this, if you are a salesperson there are so many opportunities out there, but which ones actually pay?  They all do, it's just that you may not be the person who is getting paid. I have failed and succeeded and failed and succeeded at sales. Even when I have failed and could criticise the company for posting a misleading advertisement for a sales position - I have to stand back and look, because somewhere in the office that I was working in, there was a successful sales person who was earning everything promised by the employer.

There is always a top dog! 

I have read so many books on sales, on positive thinking, on being successful and still I have not managed to be a success at every sales position that I have taken. I have worked over the phone successfully and unsuccessfully - vacation packages, technical education, life coaching, wine; I have sold face to face, successfully and unsuccessfully - timeshare, dating agency, interior design, janitorial services.

I listen to the motivational CD's on my way to work, I rehearse my pitch, I sound cheerful and positive, I work hard, I say the right things, I mirror,  I use NLP and yet sometimes I still cannot sell a product. I finally found the answer to my sales woes - Belief!

Thumb_Belief

Belief in the product, an unwavering faith that I am selling the customer something that I truly believe in and I truly think that their lives will be better if they purchase my product. I am selling something that is better than the competition, I am going to take better care of my customers than the competition and I will do whatever is necessary to make their experience a happy and positive one. My product is worth the money, my customers are protected and will recommend me to their friends. If I feel that way about a product, I can sell it!

Find a product that you believe in! 

How to find the right product for your sales career. Research the company, Google the company name followed by the word "Scam" and get all the dirt before you go to the job interview.  I know this sounds really negative but your reaction to the information will tell you how strong your belief is in that product. Remember, only dissatisfied customers publish their rants online and the bigger the company, the more rants you will read. Some will be entirely justified, nobody gets everything right all of the time. Analyse what the complaints are about, perhaps the company has responded to those complaints and there is no longer and issue.

Go to your interview armed with questions, talk about your concerns, this shows that you are really interested in the job and the company, do not be negative, just be fact finding.

Hmmm! No comment! 

If you think the product may be okay - go to the training, did the training manager convince you that the products are great? How do you feel about the product now? If you have learned to love the product now, you are going to succeed at selling it, it is all about passion and emotion.

The great thing about this approach is that no-one at work can be neg you out because you are already informed about the product and you have a balanced view. You know what the product is and how to be a success!

Getting goosebumps when you are not cold or scared?

Intuition-bente-hansen
http://fineartamerica.com/images-medium/intuition-bente-hansen.jpg

I am a sensitive person and I know many other sensitive people, when we talk about ideas and people we know we sometimes get goosebumps. I get them at job interviews, when exchanging ideas with people and always when I think about the supernatural - ghost stories, bumps in the night, all that sort of stuff.

Intuition

http://psychicjoystar.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/intuition.jpg

Goosebumps can happen when you are cold and frightened but also happen when you are being intuitive and have come into contact with your divine truth in some way. The stimulus to cold and fear can be proven and reproduced but what about that intuition thing?

http://www.nowgasm.com/digital-art-fractal-zenergy-holistic-vibration.jpg

According to this website: http://www.streamsoflight.com/higher.html it can mean that your body has reached a higher vibrational state.

This is one of those questions that I really cannot answer except to say that the web is full of people like myself who believe that those goosebumps are a sign of intuition and getting in touch with your truth. http://www.letyourlifebloom.com/intuition/#tp  All that matters is if it is the truth to you, whether it can be proven or not, who cares? My advice is to follow your truth and if you get the goosebumps and it feels right then you should follow your heart and your intuition.

Feel good

Feeling good! Dogs do not get hung up on why, they just do what feels right!

Dream Interpretations

I started interpreting dreams when I was a teenager. I always had very detailed dreams and would recount them to my friends. One of my boyfriends bought me a dream dictionary and I started to delve into interpretation. Unfortunately, I found that many dreams had elements that were contradictory and so I did not really get a detailed analysis of my dream.

I realised that different people have different relationships with dream symbols based on experience, their daily lives and culture. A person who keeps snakes will have a different interpretation of a snake dream to a person who has a fear of snakes.

Dreams may have symbols that are said to be good omens and then some that are bad omens, understanding the context of the omens will help you to interpret their true meaning for you.

My blog is a series of dreams and interpretations of the elements in each dream to help you to understand how best to interpret your dreams, I am also available to interpret a dream for you. Email me: [email protected], dream interpretations are free!

I organise the dreams by general subject area rather than alphabetically, if you have a question about a dream symbol please email me.

Tarot Readings!

I started reading tarot cards many years ago when I was in college, I was studying business but my real interest has always been in psychology, astrology, tarot and dreams. I waited a long time to pursue tarot reading professionally. I do not understand how tarot cards work or why they work. I do not believe that you need special powers to read the cards but experience and an understanding of the symbols on each card opens the doors to a successful interpretation.

It is a good idea to be in a quiet place to have a tarot reading, to be able to free your mind of distractions and concentrate on an issue that you would like some insight into. Tarot cards can give you insight into situations and things that are happening around the questioner.

I have been a tarot reader for more than 40 years and will be happy to do a reading for you, the cost is $30 for 30 minutes or $50 per hour.  In UK: £20 for 30 minutes or £35 for 60 minutes. I use PayPal for payment and Skype to complete the reading. Please email me to set this up with your preferred time see below. [email protected]. Readings are for entertainment only! 

 In US Time: I am available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 2pm, 3pm, 4pm or 5pm Eastern Standard Time and Saturday 9 am, 10 am and 11 am EST. 

In UK time: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 7pm, 8pm and 9pm. Saturday 2 pm, 3pm and 4 pm.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night around 3 am or 4 am and a voice in your head tells you that your life isn't working out, that everything is pointless and bad? You are a failure, you are pathetic, you have made bad choices...

 It isn't fun when that happens, sometimes it feels as if an alien being has taken over your mind and is determined to make you unhappy. Hello, here I am to spoil things again. If you are aware of this creature it gets easier to get back in control, but what do you do meanwhile?

If you roam around the internet there are drugs for insomnia, healing programs, CD's of self hypnosis, books, DVD's - there is so much help available - but it will cost you.  It is a shame that suffering from anxiety, self doubt and insomnia is big business.

I do not have the cure, I have some great CD's from Steve G. Jones, I have some books and lots of herbal remedies. My best solution is to meditate - it is free, you are in control, you decide on your outcomes and what you want from your life. Remember to picture what you want, feel it with emotion and create your life.

If that negative personality takes over your life again, tell it to leave, you don't need it.

Have a wonderful, positive day, and an equally positive night!
