Failure is NOT an Option

By: Cheryl A. Clausen

Small business owners, all commission-only sales people who do very well recognize they are small business owners, are special people. You are special because of your commitment, your persistence, and your determination. You have a tremendous work ethic. If all it takes is hard work you won't fail.

You know, however, hard work alone simply isn't enough. You’ve probably worked yourself into a corner more than once. You weren’t sure how you were going to get out, what to do next, or where to turn. You were way too close and too emotionally involved at those times. Those times represent very dangerous and precarious business situations.

Recall when things went well in your business. You were laser focused on what you needed to do. You didn’t allow distractions or side paths to keep you from getting where you clearly saw you needed to be. You can return to this position of focused confidence once again and back on track for success.

No matter what business you’re in the basic business requirements include:

* You need to grab the attention of the people most likely to buy from you

* You must create a strong interest in what you have to offer and motivate the prospect to act

* You must have an offer spelling out the exact action you want the prospect to take

* From the prospects who took you up on your offer you must have a system to filter out the ready buyers and cultivate everyone else into a ready buyer

* You must be able to hold a conversation with your prospects helping them to make the best buying decision for them

* You must be able to provide your service exceeding their expectations

* You must develop a system to build a relationship with your clients leading to repeat business and referrals

When you get all these things working you simply cannot fail. Therefore, if you aren’t getting what you want one or more of these required elements aren’t working. Which of the seven requirements are less than optimal in your business?

You are a super hero; however, even super heroes have a side kick. Even a super hero needs someone to help them. Which of the seven requirements can you improve on your own? Which of the seven requirements would you be better served by getting someone to guide you to improvements with?

Before you reach out and get the help you need, define what you need. What are the outcomes you want for your customer? How do you foresee functionally providing this outcome?

When was the last time you stepped back and took a big picture look at where you are now, and where you want to be? How much clearer would you be on next steps if you took the time to develop this big picture plan for your business? How much easier would it be for you to know what to do if you knew exactly what you wanted?
