The Sales Evangelist How to Unlock Your Earning Potential This Year | Ashley Winston - 1632
In today’s episode of The Sales Evangelist, our host Donald Kelly meets with Ashley Winston to discuss how you as a seller can MAXIMIZE your earnings this year.
The problem with untapped potential:
- Most of us have absolutely INSANE potential that’s just begging to be tapped into. The issue is, we simply never fully tap into it. In the sales world, this means sales and earnings left on the table.
- Fear is perhaps the BIGGEST hurdle to fully realizing your potential. Most sellers, and people in general, prefer to stay in their comfort zones. Why go out and face danger, when you could simply remain safe? The problem is, you’ll only grow when exposed to danger. Without stress, there is no adaptation.
- Another hurdle people face is their atmosphere. If you’re wanting to become a better seller, you have to SURROUND yourself with an environment conclusive to that. Surround yourself with great sellers, go to areas where you can learn about the process. Create an environment or find one that relates to your goals.
How do sellers overcome these obstacles?
- The first step is simple: Change your thinking. It may be cheesy, but the absolute TRUTH of it can’t be denied: Believe in yourself. Oftentimes, your self-imposed beliefs can actually LIMIT your potential. Have more confidence in yourself! Genuinely BELIEVE you can become a great seller and you will see results.
- So how do you change your thinking? Through training. You have to STOP having negative thoughts and start REPLACING them with positive ones. Ashley uses the metaphor of a garden: Your mind is like an unkempt garden. There are flowers, yes, but also PLENTY of weeds. Get rid of the weeds and replace them with flowers.
- Along with changing your thinking, you HAVE to change your circle. You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with, as the saying goes. Surround yourself with people who align with your goals. If you are surrounded by success, you will start SEEING success. If you are surrounded by negativity, you will see negativity.
