How to Improve in the New Year

Whether we like it or not, the first step to improving in the New Year is admitting that resolving issues lies within each of us. Next, we must consider how our mindset may hold us back. Blaming others only worsens the setback. We control our future; no one else does. What steps do I need to take to overcome my current predicament?’

Today Is the Start of Tomorrow

Begin planning today for tomorrow with specific goals and timelines is the start of a rigorous practice. Creating a daily routine incorporating the following steps can help us move beyond what we initially believed possible.

Daily Pep Talk

Time efficiency matters. It is recommended that we review our good and bad experiences upon awakening each morning to improve them and capture new thoughts on a notepad to avoid forgetting.

At the start of the workday, we must remind ourselves that we are on a mission to improve ourselves and our endeavors and will not allow issues or others to stand in our way. In short, it’s best to tell oneself, ‘I’ve got this!’

Research for Pep Talk Enhancement

Our mindset is everything regarding advancing careers or growing a business. Before we proceed with a client call or appointment, we need to fully concentrate on client matters to have a satisfying conversation. For a better outcome, it is wise to review all notes concerning the person and the company and research the internet for new insights to fuel the conversation in your favor further. The research and additional questions that may arise will typically increase enthusiasm and boost confidence in knowing new specific questions to ask.

Enthusiasm

The first indicator prospects and clients observe for whether to conduct business is the sincerity plus enthusiasm in our voice. The tipping point is the extra effort we go to reveal knowledge concerning their latest company updates and follow up with related questions.

Asking for clarification when we do not fully understand what is being said reveals our honesty. Doing so often has one standing out from the crowded playing field in this regard and encourages the business we seek.

Efficiencies

As business grows and new technology enters the picture, it’s critical to recognize and become comfortable with the latest strategies to help communicate best and improve efficiencies. We all know that AI is entering every level of interaction, making it critical to adopt the more appropriate tools for oneself.

Ideas

Equally important is to give a fleeting thought moment due attention. Often, these ideas come to us because of the customary actions necessary in our minds. We should not overlook how a unique topic may enhance our output.

Informal Questions of Importance

Most representatives are too focused on making the actual sale, but ‘Telling-Selling’ rarely works well. It’s best to first focus on developing the relationship whereby trust builds. By not pushing the sale, people ask permission to purchase and will inquire how to finalize the process.

Extra Steps for Earning the Smooth Sale

One big differentiator for successful salespeople is they view the sale not as ‘the close, the end,’ but as a new beginning. Once clients receive everything they were promised, the salesperson will check in to ensure 100% satisfaction. Should an issue arise, the next question is, ‘How do you see us fixing the issue?’ The next step is to coordinate the solution and agree on the date and time for completion.

In Conclusion: How Can I Improve in the New Year?

Success in any endeavor resides within us, beginning with our mindset. It’s critical to review our thinking for improvement and not allow upsets to dictate that we quit. Questions always work best to move a sale forward; accordingly, we must ask ourselves, ‘How can I improve in this New Year?’
