What Would You Say to Your 5 Year-Old Self?

In a Radio Interview, I Was Asked What I Would Say to My 5 Year-Old Self.

• I said I would tell my 5 year-old self to not be so concerned about what other people think.
  
  
• Don't be so shy and afraid of people.
  
  
• Be grateful. You're surrounded by family and friends who love you.
  
  
• Your life won't always be easy but the hard times will make you stronger.
  
  
• Know that you are destined to help other people achieve their greatness.

Does Your Phone Weigh 200 Pounds?

It Seems Like it Your Phone Weighs 200 Pounds When You Have to Make Sales Calls

The other day in my Wealthy Bag Lady VIP Club Mastermind Call, one of my members asked me about how to get over the fear of rejection so she could make phone calls to get sponsors.

She said that it was really hard for her to make outbound sales calls and she only made one phone call per day.

Great Business and Sponsor Deals Started with a Phone Call

Tony Hsieh became the CEO of Zappos after the founder of the company introduced himself with a phone call. Most of my sponsors including Fed Ex and IBM were the result of cold calls.

Here are some tips to help you sell by telephone:

1. Call Your Raving Fans First. Call your satisfied customers for a dose of confidence. Take in all of the compliments, accolades and kind words they bestow upon you. You can also read your testimonials and fan mail before calling cold prospects.
2. Pretend You're Talking with Your Best Friend. Imagine that the person on the other end of the phone is your best friend who is always glad to hear from you. You can even look at your friend's photo while you're making the phone calls.
3. Think of Rejection as a Learning Experience. Most people avoid telephone sales because of the fear of rejection. With the right attitude and by paying close attention to what happens, each rejection becomes a learning experience. With proper fine-tuning, you'll soon find your calls being well received and you'll experience fewer rejections.
4. End on a Positive Phone Call. End on a positive call that results in a sale, a follow-up appointment or well-earned praise. This will give you a sense of well-being and victory.
5. Imagine the Best Outcome. Most people imagine the worst, being a pest instead of a welcomed guest. Keep your eye on the prize and envision landing a great corporate sponsor or making the big sale. See yourself celebrating, building your business and achieving your dreams.
