Give Yourself the Hard Sell
If you have never read my fellow blogger Bill Farquharson, you should. He writes "The Sales Challenge" blog right here on PIworld. And, he has a company called Aspire For that boasts thousands of satisfied sales reps it has made stronger, better, more effective reps.
On his Website, he has “borrowed” a clip from A League of Their Own in which the Tom Hanks' character is asking Geena Davis' character why she quit the team right before the championship. She says, “It just got too hard.” And he replies, “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.”
