Never give up, always be thinking, what’s next…
December 22, 2009 by David Dassow
The real key is to never give up.
Continue fighting until the end, get up
and fight some more……
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge
A friend of mine isn’t very good at selling or even prospecting. But, he is excellent at execution. To use a sports analogy many times the best team on the field will not win because of execution. They aren’t or can’t execute the game plan.
For successful sellers of pre-arrangements once you’ve got the game plan formed success is achieved when you execute the game plan. No excuses. Implement the plan.
Execution is nothing more than discipline. In my book I talk about what makes you get up in the morning? What makes you go out and do it?
The formula is simple. Executing the game plan is taking what gets you up, add some discipline, and execution.
Now, we’re nearly done with this year. It’s time to take a few days to regroup and refocus your energies on tomorrow.
One side note. If you’re close to your goals for the year for Pete’s sake, go out there and get it done and make your goals happen.
For everyone else, take a few days to dwell on your dreams (goals) and begin to write that description page I talked about a few days ago. Once you’ve described your goals in vivid, visual detail form the game plan and execute.
How to turn a goal into a dream
Happy Selling!

P.S. You can do it! You really can. You can sell more pre-need in the next six months than you’ve sold the previous year. All of us need a mentor or coach. Scroll through previous posts on this site and check out the catalog page and don’t be afraid to invest in YOUR SELF because if you won’t do it no body else will do it for you. Now, go do it.
