avoid the gloom-and-doom and have a new attitude!

The fastest path to NOT land your next job? Stay home, glued to the gloom-and-doom coverage on a Television or Computer screen near you. Check out these great articles: http://tinyurl.com/aqpmfx and  http://tinyurl.com/darwbl

Remember, those talking heads on CNN and their competitors are paid only if people watch their programs. Their goal: create drama, create tension. People watch drama and tension.

But, you're on a mission. We're not telling you to bury your head in the sand. But you've got to take a page from the great sales people you know.

What would you do if you wanted to be a successful sales person?

1. Know your product. Love your product.

2. Talk to as many people as you can and build deep relationships with them.

3. Deep relationships turn into profitable customers.

4. Know what the needs of your customers are.

5. Know how your product meets the needs of your customers.

6. Be evangelical about how your product meets the needs of your customers.

You are the sales person. You are also the product.

Gloom-and-doom? Negative attitudes? You don't have the time of day for that stuff.

You've got sales out there to get. Go get 'em!
