3 Ways to Beat a Sales Slump

 Ways to Beat a Sales Slump

1. Recharge Yourself

We all have bad days and instead of putting your head down and feeling discouraged, redirect your mind to something that will allow you to de-stress and re-energize. Whether it’s a walk in the park or listening to music, use this time to get immediately back in the game. The key is to relax, trust your training and perform those skills until you reach a breakthrough. This will help you remain optimistic until you find your selling rhythm.

2. Make a Plan of Attack

Review your game plan and goals and determine if it needs some fine-tuning. You want a game plan with tactics that have worked in the past, and to include new material you’re excited about. Once you’re happy with what you’ll present, start thinking of possible objections that your prospects may have and fill any holes in your plan. Then, practice until it’s perfect. By that point, you will feel eager to get back on track and consistently close one sale after another.

3. Reward Yourself

As you work your way out of a sales slump, think about something you would love to have but just can’t afford yet. It could be anything from a spa package to Christian Louboutin heels to even a family trip to London! The point is to have a goal to work towards besides getting out of a rut. This will give you extra motivation to work to the best of your ability and eventually reward yourself with something that was well earned.

Trust Your Training

Don’t let a slump take over your life, remember to trust your training and challenge yourself to become an even better salesperson. Keep these three tips in mind to get back on track, sealing one deal after another.

 Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.
