Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Break this Bad Habit to produce Improved Results
Have you ever been so busy with your own work that your mind shut out new ideas? Being in the present moment holds much merit for most occasions. This is especially true for sales and the job hunt.
An open frame of mind will open more doors.
My Story
This week I worked with another company to provide insight on the latest social media strategies. Algorithms and services are continually changing for the varied platforms. Coursework was developed to provide the most current information. It proved to be very thorough.
One student arrived with very different ideas in mind. She shut out the newer concepts. My sales perspective to learn from everyone saved the day for me. Leading everyone into conversation, we were each able to learn how different industries apply the chosen strategies. We also uncovered additional difficulties within larger companies as opposed to those of entrepreneur status. The session proved to be an excellent learning lesson on many levels.
Perspective
When disappointment hits, an improved approach is to stop and take a deep breath. Next, prepare to develop understanding of an entirely different perspective. There are lessons to be learned from unexpected situations.
By possessing an open mindset to listen and learn, new possibilities open up. Added emphasis is to listen and learn from those who think differently from you. It widens perspective and your ability to produce even more.
Possibility
For salespeople, it’s the full pipeline of possibility that allows sales to flow naturally. The person who owns an open mind to listen, observe, and ask questions is the one who will advance further and more quickly. Job candidates who apply this principle to interviews will be more likely to get the job.
Your Story
Can you recall a time when you expected one outcome but it turned out to be very different? Think back to how you responded. Did you accept circumstances to move forward or did you mentally fight the situation? In either case, how did those around you react?
When events do not turn out as expected, and you feel disappointment, it’s best to ask questions. The first step is to figure out where the initial disconnect occurred, and then:
- Come to an understanding with the people involved why this was the case.
- Consider whether a new improved outcome may potentially be seen.
- Come to agreement for an acceptable solution.
Moral of the Story
By taking the high road in trying to work with the people involved, you maintain a highly professional image. Whether or not you are able to turn the situation to a good conclusion, your demeanor precedes future business. You are your brand. Those witnessing your actions will take note and proceed accordingly.
Sales Tips:
- Maintain a calm demeanor in public.
- Stop for a moment when the unexpected occurs.
- Allow the unexpected situation to unfold
- Ask questions as to how events developed
- Determine if there is room to learn something new
- Listen to those involved with the activity to learn more
- Hear out novel ideas to gain a wider scope
- Add to the conversation where you may
- Seek out unexpected opportunities
- Build up your sales pipeline
