13 ABSOLUTES FOR TOP SALES REPS - FRED MADY

Fred Mady defines his absolutes. What are your absolutes?

"If you want to be a better rep, find a better manager." - as a manager, don't accept average performance. You have to help your reps improve and hold them accountable. Managers add value by adding their top 25.

Absolute - Value or principle that is accepted as valid.

1. JDI - Just do it. Whatever your delay, struggle of issue is, just show up and get it done. No excuses and start with successes.
2. Know Thyself - You can't fake it and need to be comfortable with yourself and be fine in that process.
3. Create a Positive Buzz About You - Certain reps have a "buzz" about them. People will talk about you because you are positive. Positivity is contagious and people will want to be a part of it.
4. Challenge Your Prospects - Ask your clients/prospects for their business after you have earned their respect.
5. Believe in the Opportunity - Create a number that you will be able to hit to succeed. Look at your opportunities like a business and the revenue potential.
6. Focus as a Business Person - You don't have a job but you have a business that you are creating. This is yours... own it!
7. Shhhhhh - Create quiet around you and stop the noise. Take some time to clear your mind from everything. Reps often struggle with their thoughts.
8. Ask for the Business - Find 5 ways to ask for the business and write them down. Have them linked to your stories and then ask.
9. Love Them to Death - We might struggle with certain individuals but clear your head of negativity. Fall in love with your clients/prospects. Ask about them outside of the business.
10. Be Sales Tough - There are so many normal issues. Stop complaining and be the A-rep because everyone understands what you are going through.
11. Be Lucky - Don't be sad or frustrated when you are lucky. It is okay to not only be lucky but celebrate all victories!
12. Be Thankful - Being the best will come from the help of so many people. Top success does not come alone. Be thankful to everyone... including clients.
13. Give Back - How, when and what you want to do. Give back in your industry because there is space for everyone.
