Overcoming the Fear of Selling: Part II
Introduction
In this article, we delve into how you can conquer the fear of selling. We’ll explore strategies to face these fears and eliminate them for good.
Fear of Failure
The fear of failure is common in sales. Remember school tests? A poor result often discouraged future attempts. Don’t adopt a defeatist attitude like Homer Simpson’s advice to Bart: "You tried and you failed. The lesson is never try."
How to Overcome It
Cultivate a rock-solid positive mindset. See failure as a learning opportunity. James Dyson, inventor of the revolutionary vacuum cleaner, wisely noted that success is “99% failure.” Embrace this perspective and keep moving forward.
Image Fear
Starting a new business can lead to self-doubt, affecting your self-image and sales performance. A strong self-image is crucial for success.
Boost Your Confidence
1. Identify Key Qualities: Write down 4-5 qualities of a successful salesperson.
2. Relax and Reflect: Find a quiet spot and practice deep breathing.
3. Visualize Success: Imagine yourself with these qualities, seeing your success and lifestyle.
4. Affirmations: Repeat your personal qualities and visualize success twice daily to boost confidence.
Fear of Rejection
Rejection often goes hand-in-hand with failure. The word "No" can be disheartening.
Shift Your Perspective
Accept rejection as part of the process. Tell yourself it’s the customer's loss, not yours. Every rejection brings you closer to a "Yes."
Product Knowledge Fear
Lack of product knowledge can lead to poor presentations. The solution? Get learning!
