cases is failure turned inside out. 
Eliminate the negative attitude and believe

•Your attitude is YOUR responsibility… Start managing 
your emotions. 
•Change your perspective. 
•YOU determine the value of YOUR life experiences. 
Life is 10% what happens to YOU and 
90% how YOU respond to it.
You must have VISIONS, GOALS and 
PLANS to turn attitude into action. 
Lack of VISION will make you lose. 
Develop a complete GAME PLAN.
BE PREPARED to take action BEFORE a 
situation occurs. Victory lies on the 
other side of each challenge… 
KEEP THE FAITH.

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Ask yourself: “What negative assumptions do I make about my customers? About my prospects? About selling?” Dondra: Can we insert a personal story here about negative assumptions you – or a salesperson you know – has made about a customer...and been wrong? Key point (transition): Challenge your negative assumptions. Let’s see how each of those negative statements can be turned into a positive thought...
  • #7 Look at how we took negative words and turned them into positive talk. Words like “they will” instead of “they won’t” are more positive. Turning phrases like “they’re a pain to work with” into “they have high standards” changes the way you look at and interact with “high maintenance people”. Challenge the idea that some customers are “cheap” or “can’t afford a luxury cruise”. Instead, think of it this way. Most people work hard for their money. They’re careful about how they spend it. But most people are willing to spend on things that they VALUE. Transition: “Let’s look at a few examples of this...”
  • #9 This is a wrap up slide. Quote from Mary Kay Ashe, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Her she summarizes what makes a positive sales attitude. Look at the key themes. Failure is opportunity. Eliminate negative attitude. Believe you can do anything. Positive talk. Say “I can, I will, I must!” Thank you! I want to leave each of you with a challenge...
  • #10 Think of the last failure you had. Examples: Lost a big account. Made a fool of yourself in public. Tried a new sales technique that didn’t work. Made a mistake on a booking or servicing an account...and you caught heck for it. Dondra: Could you share one of your big failures, and explain how you handled it? What messages did you send yourself – how did you overcome it and move on (using a positive sales attitude)?
  • #14 Dondra – what do you think it should be? What would you like them to walk away and try tomorrow?
