Establishing clear boundaries
• What am I responsible for?
- My own professionalism
- My own behavior
• What is my job?
- To present the product I in the best light
- To write as many leads and sales as I can


Establishing clear boundaries

• Be jealous of your energies.

• Be mindful of your energies.


Locating my center
• A tour of the entire body
• Then follow my breath into my core
• Listen to my heartbeat – steady and free
• Imagine a bright glowing sun in my chest
filling me with light and warmth
• This is my center


Bouncing back after bad calls

Life outside is full of things which I can’t control
• So where is my security?
• Inside me --
• In what I think
• In how I act
• In how I take care of my body
• In how I regulate my breath

Touch Trigger exercise

• It’s not personal
• This person doesn’t know me
• I know who I am
• I know what I’m worth


Knowing what I can control & what I can’t

The only thing I can control
Is my own behavior –
But that’s plenty


Mental Imagery tools

• Different tools are right for different
situations

• And the more tools we have in our
Mental Toolbox, the more solutions
we have to life’s different challenges


Jigsaw puzzle of life
• My life consists of many pieces in
different colors, shapes, and sizes
• How does this decision or action fit in
the overall framework of my life?
• Does it serve my larger purpose?
• Benefits: perspective / responsibility /
being grounded in reality

Dealing with rejection

• It’s not personal -
Someone on the phone can never
“reject” me, because they’ve never met
me, they don’t know the person that I am
I can become a better
salesperson, and this is the
responsibility I can take

Dealing with failure

I only fail if I fail to do my best
• If I fail to ask the managers and the most
successful people on the floor for advice
• If I fail to come to work in the most
professional manner -
– Rested
– With positive energy
– Wanting to be the best that I can be
