Open Sales Market And Consumers

Sometime you just need a little encouragement to get in the door to make that call. Here's what I tell salespeople no matter what field they are in - whether real estate, mortgage banking and pharmaceuticals : There are two things on the other side of a call or a visit -
Opportunity and relationship

OR
No opportunity

You want to know. No, you need to know what's n the other side of that door or call.

The key is to focus your mind and look at every barrier as an opportunity. There is something interesting on the other side of the door. Go push it open. Go that make call. Go make that visit. Keep doing it. The more you do it, the better you will get. The more you do it, the more opportunity you will have to develop relationship with people. The more you do it,
