We want to start out this module by getting a baseline of how you feel and think about some sales related topics. We will go through a list of areas and what we want you to do is identify three words that describe how you feel or the first three words that come to your mind. I would encourage you to be honest here as it will help make the exercise more productive. When you identify the three words, write those down on your worksheet in front of you.
(Go through the list one at a time letting the students write their answers. When you complete the list, go around the room and gather one answer from each question from each student and write on the board.)

The next concept that we are going to discuss is value awareness. We will actually discuss what value is in more detail and how to figure out what value you have to offer in another module, but value is basically how you help or what you provide to others.
One way to improve you mental strength is to become more aware of the value that you offer and to not lose site of it, which is what we usually do when we are in the trenches selling day in and day out. When we are not aware of how we help, we can slip into having a needy frame of mind and we are taking from our prospects. Having value awareness will flip that and give you the mindset that you are helping and giving something when you sell.
To improve your level of value awareness, you can start with first identifying the value that you offer and we will go through that later. But from there it is really all about keeping that value at the forefront of your mind when you sell and talk with prospects so that you have the mental frame of mind that you are helping and have something to offer.
By improving you value awareness, you will decrease reluctance, decrease anxiety, improve confidence, improve motivation, and improve your belief in what you sell, what you do, and who you are
