I was at work one day Authentic William Karlsson Jersey , calling on a customer who wasn't answering her phone. Her voice mail message started out in the usual way, ??we're not home, leave a message?? what followed was not so usual. It continued, ??by the way, we've recently made some changes in our life, if we don't call you back Authentic David Perron Jersey , you're one of the changes, beeeep?. My first reaction was disbelief at what was probably one of the rudest messages I had ever heard (and I've heard quite a few!). But I couldn't get it off my mind, and by the end of the day I had changed my perspective. I began to admire this woman, who was obviously at the end of her rope. She was very determined, for whatever reason, to end relationships that were affecting her life in a negative way.


Change is never easy Authentic Luca Sbisa Jersey , especially when it requires us to dramatically alter the way we've become accustom to living our lives. Leaving our comfort zone, no matter how much we dislike it, requires a combination of bravery and determination, as well as education in that area.


Many times we're so desperate to better ourselves, we hastily make ineffective and, sometimes expensive Authentic Oscar Dansk Jersey , decisions that we feel will quickly produce the results we are looking for. Purchasing a costly gym membership and vowing to attend seven days a week while surviving on lettuce, may seem like a great idea for a few weeks (if you're very determined,) but how long can you live like that?


If you're serious about making a long-term change in your life, take these steps to ensure your success:


Educate Yourself


Aside from determination, education is the most important key to your success. Knowing exactly what you must do to accomplish your goals will give you the power to make them a reality. Consult a professional or check out a book written by a credible authority on the subject. You can also tap the wealth of information to be found on the Internet. Friends and acquaintances can also provide insight. I have a good friend who is very organized, an area in which I am always trying to improve. Over the years I have learned a great deal from watching her manage her incredibly busy life.


Set Reasonable Goals


You are not going to lose 30 pounds in two weeks. Nor are you going to undo years of financial irresponsibility in six months. After becoming educated Authentic Oscar Lindberg Jersey , you will get a realistic picture of how long it will be before you should expect to see results. Having this knowledge upfront will prevent you from giving up too soon.


Plan and Track


If you're trying to accomplish something that requires long-term commitment, purchase a journal or notebook to write down your short and long term goals. Detail how you will carry them out and when you will complete them. Check each item off as you accomplish it. Keeping a journal to record your achievements can be motivating on those days when you feel like sliding back to your old ways.


Just Say No


Avoid situations that will prevent you from accomplishing your goals. This is especially important in the beginning, before your new way of life comes natural to you.


Pat Yourself on the Back


Be proud of yourself for making the decision to improve your quality of life. When you reach important milestones, reward yourself in a way that is in sync with your new lifestyle. A new outfit is a great reward for losing weight, but would be considered a setback if you're trying to cut back on spending!






We've all seen a few people that have made it really big in sales. The problem is that is the extreme minority. In any sales, commision only Authentic Cody Eakin Jersey , position 95% of the sales force is at or close to the poverty line. Yes, there are some positions that start people off at $40, 50, even $60 thousand per year - but they are not strictly commission and are usually reserved for highly degreed and uniquely qualified people. What we are going to address here is how to turn an average sales job, making average earnings into a super satisfying, highly respectable Authentic Reilly Smith Jersey , and top earning profession.

Did you know that the top 5% of the sales force earns 75% of the income? I would rather be in that group. They don't ever have to worry about being laid off - something that the degreed non-full commission people do.

Rule one. Mornings are for prospecting. I know, everyone is afraid to call or thinks the customer might think you are harrassing them - basically, get over it. If you don't call your people then someone else will (previous customers, new customers, friends, business associates - anyone you do business with - hey it should be reciprocal - if I get my hair cut by the same barber I expect him to tell all his clients that I sell XYZ when appropriate Authentic Colin Miller Jersey , etc...). Morning hours should be reserved for making appointments. Did you know that a fresh customer that you have just met has a very low initial closing ratio - around 1%. Referrals and appointments are around 50%. Which would you rather spend your time with. Also, referrals and appointments, on average pay much more, are easier to close, and they leave great feedback scores - almost every sales profession is starting to grade people on these all important customer feedbacks.

Rule 2. Don't waste time. Ever see a group of sales people circling the water cooler or coffee area? Do not join them. They are usually commiserating on negative excuses for why they aren't making enough money - the economy is bad, its been slow Authentic Deryk Engelland Jersey , the product is too hard to sell, etc... Negativity will rub off on you and it will kill your sales and you are then guaranteed to be apart of the average 95% earning average or less income. Get busy. Buy a day planner, take the time to learn to use it properly, and plan your time to succeed. Make goals - use baby steps - easily attainable.
