Self-Talk That Keeps You Up When the Chips Are Down

I begin each day with a clear mind and a specific plan to get the most from my time and my effort. I follow my plan and I reach my goals.

An accurate description of me would include the words professional, hard working, qualified, skillful, energetic, enthusiastic, organized, determined, and highly successful.

I am good at persuading others to my point of view. That is because I first and always recognize and understand the point of view of the individual to whom I am presenting my ideas, my product, or my service.

I know how to listen and I do. I have learned to hear not only the words which are being said, but I also listen to the unspoken thoughts which lie behind them.

I am always prepared. I take the time to do it right. In everything I do, I am prepared, confident, self-assured, and successful.

I always take care of the details in my work. I enjoy the details of selling and I always tend to them on time and with full attention.

I keep myself "up." I know that making good sales presentations means keeping myself up, energetic, and in control. That is exactly the way I am, and my sales presentations are always professional and effective.

I never avoid confronting a problem or making a sales call of any kind. I keep my self-working and that keeps me winning.

I deserve to make the sales I create. I know that success in selling starts with seeing my self as the capable, productive individual that I am.

I am always sincere and honest. I believe that all achievement in selling begins with trust, skill, and determination. I ask for the order frequently and without hesitation. At every "buying signal, " I ask for the order - and I close!

Being told "no" never bothers me. Instead, hearing the work "no" doubles my determination and adds to my positive enthusiasm.
