The great triumphs of your sales career will be the rewards of your persistence. Never depend on your genius to carry you. If you have talent, improve it. If you have none, develop it. But do not depend on it. The rewards of selling are the results of persistent hard work.
Herman Sherman developed this Code of Persistence for salespeople. It's good!
I resolve to:
· Never give up so long as I know I am right.
· Believe all things will work out if I hang on until the end.
· Remain courageous and confident when the odds turn against me.
· Never permit anyone to intimidate me or shake my belief in me.
· Fight to overcome any setbacks.
· Try again and again and yet again to reach my dreams.
· Take new faith and resolve from the knowledge that many successful men and women have had to fight defeat and adversity to achieve their greatness.
Success in selling depends on your willingness to never give up. The reward is frequently delayed. Persistence is demanded.
No matter where you stand today - Finish strong!
