You know what's worse than a whiny sales person? Two whiny salespeople. Salespeople whining to each other about "They guy took the lowest price, you know the economy is so bad the customers aren't buying anymore. They are taking three bids and taking the lowest bid. My boss doesn't get it." Come on, wake up and smell the pop tarts! In fact, wake up and smell the emerging economy. It's getting a little bit better, but if you keep complaining it's going to stay a little bit worse. Your attitude will bust you out of the slump you've been in for the past two or three years and bring you back to a point where you can earn better dollars and you can make more sales. You can get a higher price for your goods because people are looking to buy more, but not if you are griping about it. Get your attitude right and begin to share that attitude with everyone in your company. If you want to get back to your original earnings, the only way to do it is to get up a little bit earlier, stay at work a little bit later, and in the middle provide value to all your customer to where they will call you up and want to buy.
Excellent quick pep talk, thanks Jeff.
