QUOTE:  Selling is NOT manipulating. Selling is harmonizing.”  “If you walk in with information about you, they consider you a salesman. If you walk in with ideas and answers, they consider you a resource. Which one are you?”  Jeffrey Gitomer.  “Amen”  Gymbeaux.

WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret: A survey was done on the Yale graduating class of 1953.  3% had specific goals that were written down.  Twenty years later, they went back and surveyed the same graduates and found out that not only were the 3% happier and more fulfilled, but they were also worth more monetarily than the other 97% put together.  http://readforachange.com

HOW IS YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE A SALE?  By Jeffrey Gitomer.  This is written in the form of a self-test.  Does not take long to read but may take a while to fully comprehend in regards to how you currently expect to make a sale.  I would suggest that this is a MUST read for anyone in sales and that would be everyone. http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3P%2BXXPeJVfrIQ%3D%3D

GAINING SMALL ADVANTAGES TO WIN THE SALES GAME by Michael Dalton Johnson.  This short article should give you food for thought about how you say things and how the things you say may be misinterpreted or outright rejected by the words you use.  Good article: http://www.rulesofthehunt.com/jeffrey_gitomer.htm

SEARCHING FOR YOUR GOLDEN TICKET?  By Jeffrey Gitomer.  This is another GEM from Gitomer who continually raises the bar on making you think about what you do and how you do it.  The Number One issue is, Communication That Is Transferrable!  Who is acting on YOUR words?  I personally wonder about this all the time.  This article is a perfect example.  I am forwarding it to you through this weekly online newsletter.  How many people are actually reading it?  How many people are acting on the advice?  Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder?

ANXIETY IS THE MORTAL FOE OF CREATIVE THOUGHT.  By Joe Tye.  Anxiety is the mortal foe of creative thought, effective decision-making, and decisive action. When you are overwhelmed with anxiety, it's like you're looking at the world through Doom Glasses; it doesn't matter what the objective reality is, you struggle with a sense of impending doom. Unfortunately, if anxiety leads to panic or paralysis (fight or flight), it can contribute to creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.  To read the rest of this article, and I hope you will, go to:  http://tinyurl.com/bmtp8fx
