School Is never out for the Pro

“School is never out for the Pro.”  — Cavett Robert

Thoughts for today…

If you aren’t investing in yourself you’ll never achieve great success.  All the greatest Pros I’ve ever met never stopped learning.

You should be investing no less than 10% of your income in your own continuing education.  If you’re broke try investing 90% of next year’s intended income.

Read daily.

What do you know this week that you didn’t know last week, or yesterday, or last month?

What do you know about your niche market you didn’t know last week?

Did you improve your system?  Your organization?  Your lead bank?

Did you do something everyday that brings you closer to a sale?  A presentation a day? 

Did you gain more leads than you burned?  Did you burn some leads?

Did you figure out a way of delegating something that doesn’t get you to a sale?

Are you testing?  Are you tracking results?  Are you paying attention to your ROI?

Are you eliminating time wasters?

Do you have a dependable system of generating new business?

Do you have at least three separate and distinct methods of prospecting for new business?

Are you focusing your time on the activities that bring you the money?

If you’re new have you Mined your Natural Market, yet?  Practiced your presentation?  Gained referrals from presenting to your natural market?  (See the Ultimate Package or get the starter program for more on your natural market)

I’ve known plenty of cheap people in my time.  Heck, there’s several that drive me crazy about it to this day but one piece of advice I can give you is don’t be cheap with yourself.  Invest in yourself because no one else will.

You’ll only appreciate the advice & training & mentoring you get when you pay for it.  Cheap advice is viewed as worthless by everyone.  When you earn it you appreciate it.

You get what you pay for.

Really successful pre-need sellers work.

Let me repeat that.  Really successful pre-need sellers work.

I’ve known many pre-need sellers who were this close to succeeding only to give up just before achieving success beyond there wildest dreams.

You’re only as good as your last sale.  You’re only as good as last month’s sales report.

You’re only as good as your checking account balance.

Work smarter not harder but for Pete’s sake WORK!

Happy Selling!
