Perservering in the Sales Profession

I get to be sixty years old learning sales like I was twenty-five or thirty-five again and that's exciting - I mean it's very exciting and I've never been more excited in anything I've ever done, truly.

I've never been a student in one of Jacques courses though I've studied his book and have been applying it to what I do and I'm far from perfect - I have to review and remember every day - maybe I'm a slow learner or not urgently engaged enough or shackled by lots of baggage.

Nevertheless what I've applied has transformed two things - how I do what I do and the success I have AND how I feel about myself.

How I do what I do has to do with wasting no time with low probability prospects and how I feel about myself has to do with no struggle, no resistance and no pressure AND a sense of confidence and direction all the time.

YET still falling into two negative conditions: 1. old ways of communicating and 2. lazy behavior I continue to work at my success the way I work at staying healthy with a daily schedule and consistent activity.

I'm not a professional as many who post here and my background is in public education but getting into what I do which is multi level marketing I first read twenty or thirty conventional sales books and resourced some CD/video training. I didn't take any training courses. Also, I went to a neighbor in roofing and siding sales and asked him for some mentoring.

For a couple of years I applied the things I was learning and I had some success and lots of stress and internal conflict. Eventually the success improved and the internal conflict went away because of what I've already posted.

My testimony may mean nothing to seasoned sales or new sales people - I don't know if I use the HPS principles well or what Jacques would say about what I do, but that's my story.
