In Sales Crumbs from the Master's Table, Leroy begins a lesson,
"If I could only give you one word that would demonstrate the personal quality that provided me with the greatest results over the years, that word would be persistence.
Persistence.
- It is the key to focusing on your product knowledge until "revelation" on how to sell it comes.
- It will help you improve yourself - to endure the arduous tasks of prospecting and business development until success comes.
- When your tank of enthusiasm is empty, persistence is your reserve tank - helping you make the next few miles until the breakthrough comes (and persistence ensures that it will come!).
Persistence is the ultimate failsafe against failure.
"It is not over until I win" - Les Brown.
Many people want instant "just add water" success. They don't want to pay the price of achievement or success. Yes, and quite proverbially, Thomas Edison faced almost 10,000 failed attempts...I am so glad he was persistent. If he wasn't, you wouldn't be reading this!
Any of this sound familiar?
"I tried that once and it didn't work!"
"Once bitten, twice shy!"
"That last attempt taught me a lesson...I won't be trying that again!"
Right now, right here, today, what can you do to prove to yourself that you are willing to be persistent and do the uncomfortable things?"
Start a new dialogue in your mind and spoken vocabulary;
"I will not be defeated, I will not give up!"
"I will continue firmly steadily and insistently until my good appears!"
I will do what it takes, to get what I want...as long as it takes until I get what I want!"
The future greatness in your life is not waiting on a "big break" - persistence creates opportunity! It is not reliant on the kindness of strangers - persistence will compel people to your aid.
Your greatest achievements and triumphs will come as a result of a second, third, fourth...ad infinitum attempts.
If at first...
You know what to do...I believe in you...
DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!
Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!
