Salespeople should focus on delivering results rather than making excuses from "summary" of What Got You Here Won't Get You There in Sales: How Successful Salespeople Take it to the Next Level by Marshall Goldsmith,Bill Hawkins,Don Brown
Salespeople must understand the importance of taking responsibility for their results. Instead of making excuses when things don't go as planned, they should focus on delivering the outcomes they are accountable for. This mindset shift is crucial for success in sales because it demonstrates a commitment to excellence and a willingness to learn and adapt. When salespeople make excuses, they are not taking ownership of their actions and outcomes. This can damage their credibility and erode trust with clients and colleagues. By focusing on results, salespeople can build a reputation for reliability and competence, which can lead to long-term success in their careers. To shift their focus from making excuses to delivering results, salespeople must be willing to reflect on their performance and identify areas for improvement. This self-awareness is essential for personal growth and development in sales. By taking an honest look at their strengths and weaknesses, salespeople can make the necessary changes to achieve their goals. Moreover, salespeople should be proactive in seeking feedback from their clients and colleagues. This feedback can provide valuable insights into how they are perceived and where they can improve. By listening to feedback with an open mind and a willingness to change, salespeople can enhance their performance and deliver better results.- Salespeople who prioritize delivering results over making excuses will set themselves up for success in the competitive sales industry. By taking ownership of their outcomes, seeking feedback for improvement, and demonstrating a commitment to excellence, salespeople can differentiate themselves and stand out as top performers in their field.
