Learning To Survive and Thrive In The Present Times

Selling today in today’s economy is a process that takes some constructive thinking.

In order to make sales in today’s economy you have to get very creative and understand what your prospects are going through.

The large companies are making money, hand over fist but the small and medium size companies are not doing quite so well.

What everyone wants and needs is more sales so when you approach one of these smaller companies you have to have the mind set of really improving their business.

On the other hand if you sell to the typical home owner you have to put on the thinking cap of how do you offer them more for their money.

The home owners I am acquainted with are finding they have to really get more for their dollars as they have not had a decent raise in years and are even lucky to have a job, if they have one.

Now not everybody in the country is down and out as the media seems to have you believe.

There are thousands of new millionaires coming on board each and every year. Most but not all are earning this kind of money due to the internet. However regardless of how the money is made you will find it is almost one hundred percent due to having great sales, either personally or by the companies that they have started and own.

I am always preaching that to be a great sales person you have to have your head on straight and look for the good positive things that are happening even in a bad economy.

As I said not everybody is having a bad time and if you are having trouble paying your bills or finding work why not change your attitude and outlook on life?

Believe me times are great if you have the right attitude.
I feel it is high time that the government starts selling the idea that people should be happy to take what ever jobs are available out there and make the most of it.

If you have to make your living flipping burgers and then take some of the money and buy something that you can sell and keep multiplying your wealth, you want be a minimum wage earner very long.

When I drive down the streets I see help wanted signs every where but nobody seems to want to work for less than sixty thousand dollars a year.

So all I can say is get over it and go to work doing what ever you are able to do and then make the most out of the job and the money you earn by getting creative.

Incidentally if you do want to become a millionaire that is the secret to becoming one.

This is all any of the present day millionaires have ever done to increase their net worth day by day.

So loose the pride and get your heads above water. You may have to bite the bullet and learn to live within your means.

Once you get to the point that you don’t owe anybody a quarter and start making your income multiply itself you will have an entirely new lease on life.

If you do what I am suggesting, you can afford to put your kids through college, have a nice roof over your head and drive a decent automobile while paying cash for everything.

Just think how much you save by paying cash.

As far as I am concerned cash is king and with this kind of attitude you will be able to sell your ideas to anybody you come in contact with.

If you take two or three days and read all of the articles I have on this blog you will have an education second to none on how to earn money.

Earning money is what sales are all about.

So good luck with what ever you plans turn out to be. And leave a comment if any of this is at all helpful. You might even add a little insight to help other readers out.
