How To Keep Up Peak Peformance As A Timeshare Or Vacation Ownership Salesperson - Balance Your Life
By admin | March 28, 2008
One very successful timeshare salesperson told me, “when you have a monthly paycheck over $10,000, you’ll be hooked on this industry forever. The income and the pace of sales can leave your breathless with excitement, or out of breath, flustered. It depends on what type of a month you are having. If you make a $10,000 paycheck, it’s easy to want to continue that pace forever.
Just as life has ups and downs, so does commission-based sales. When you are making lots of sales you can live on the adrenaline and it’s amazing. If you stop making sales, you just don’t tend to feel as excited and neither does your bank account. The key to continued success is balance.
How do you balance and stay at a peak level of energy which will enhance your performance? Let’s consider the alternative. If you meet new people and you seem unhappy, dragging, and depressed, what are the odds they will feel compelled to stay with you a long time and/or give you $10,000-$50,000 of their money to buy something?
If you said that the odds are not good that they want to be with you or spend money with you, chances are you’re right. People love to be around energy that makes them feel good. People want to be encouraged and helped to move forward in life, not hang around people who are depressing, boring, tired, or angry.
To find this balance you can do lots of things, first, if you have a day in sales that seems challenging to you, at the end of the day, as tired as you might be, do something physical. This is a g-rated article so I can’t talk about some of the physical options, but let’s consider taking a walk or going to the gym to life a few weights. You could peddle a bicycle and pretend to be going somewhere exciting. Pump up your physical life to make your body feel better and to kick some endorphins in your system.
Do something funny such as go to the mall and try on some strange clothing. If you’ve gotten fat lately, avoid trying on bathing suits and see what’s playing in the movies. I recommend a comedy more than a horror flick but if getting scared will take you away from your tough times, go for it.
Comedy is a healer. Turn on your comedy channel, find a nearby supermarket where they have those new dvd rentals for $1 a night, the Red Boxes. Cheap entertainment while your’re working on improving your income helps.
Take time to see or visit someone who’s having it worse than you, whether friend or family and you could feel much better about your situation and life.
Go to the library and check out some books you don’t want to buy, but really could help get your mind thinking and focusing on helpful material. You might ask yourself what sort of skills would make you better at what you do? Do you need help with understanding people more or listening skills? Get help at the library.
Best of all, take a day off and go on your own mini-vacation. It could be a drive-away destination within 2 or 3 hours of where you live, or maybe a day at a spa to get pampered. The best way to help continue selling vacations is to walk the talk and take your own vacation to remember how much fun it is to have fun. You’ll start selling more and be happier.
