Sales & Marketing Authority, Bestselling Author & Business Motivational Speaker

I hate to dwell on the fact that the economy has been less than accomodating lately but I have noticed a disturbing trend.

Whenever I attend sales conferences or networking events I find myself having conversations with salespersons who can do nothing BUT talk about how terrible the economy has been treating them.

Now, I don’t mean to be rude, but I have a question.

What is the “economy?” What has the economy done to you as an individual lately? Did the economy force you to get out of bed in a bad mood this morning? Did the economy tell you to stop picking up the phone and attempting to reach new prospects? Did the economy tell you to stop working on your latest marketing campaign, to stop writing that new sales letter, or to stop handing out business cards?

I didn’t think so.

So why on earth must we keep dwelling on the negative aspect of sales? Truth be told, those with positive mindsets can find ways to be successful no mater what the economy is apparently “dictating.”

The next time you go to a networking event make it a point to keep a positive mindset, even if things aren’t going as well as you’d like. Focus on the good things that have happened and the great plans you have for the future.

Do NOT dwell in misery. People won’t want to talk to you and will be less likely to remain in touch after the networking event is over!
