Did you know the most powerful tool for increasing your sales is always with you and it’s free?

What is it? It’s your mindset. As a promotional products sales professional, it’s important to keep a positive mindset no matter what’s happening around you. Being positive and proactive (focusing on what you can do, not what you can’t) will go a long way in increasing your sales and income.
 
Here are eight steps to take today:
 
  1. Focus on what you can control: your beliefs, your thoughts and your actions.
  2. Surround yourself with positive people. You know who I mean. The people who are upbeat, positive and encouraging.
  3. Turn off the negative news. I’m a big believer in staying informed, but too much negative news can have a detrimental effect on your income and attitude.
  4. Change the conversation. If someone around you is getting negative, change the conversation or end it.
  5. End your day with an inspiring book or audio. You’ll sleep better and wake up in a positive frame of mind.
  6. Keep a success journal. At the end of every business day, write at least one or more positive thing that occurred that day, no matter how small.
  7. Focus on what you want to happen, not what you don’t. Your thoughts become your reality. Write a daily intention every day, that’s the thing you most want to happen or accomplish that day.
  8. Exercise and get plenty of rest. I know you’ve heard this before, but the better shape you’re in mentally and physically, the better shape your business will be in.
