Sales and the Butterfly Effect

The movie the Butterfly effect looks into the idea that you can change an action in life to change the final result of your life. I was thinking about this, and wondering what I have done and what i could have done differently to effect the outcome of my life. I then started thinking about a current deal I was working and anything I could have do differently to change the outcome. The final thought was that there were so many variables to both life and each sale and lost sale that it is to hard to tell, but the fact remains that action as long as it is positive had a positive effect on both life and sales.

Lets ask what actions do you take to influence a sale, and what steps done differently would have ended in a different result? It’s a great question to ask, and you if your worth anything you have pondered this before. The truth is you never will know, and there is no real way to find out becasse there are so many things which have an effect on the end result. There are the Marco level things such as the way you got out of bed that morning, there was the years of training both formal and informal, and the way you naturally relate to people. Then there are the micro level actions, such as the words you choose to use, the tone in your voice, or even the time of day you choose to call your prospects. There are tons of actions, but only  one simple truth about how they all affect you which is “Action is always better than No Action”.

So when your sitting there with nothing to do, think to yourself what can I do right now to build on my performance for tomorrow? Ask yourself this and take some positive action and you will be better in the long run for it.
