Make every day count... ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)

Not one day in anyone's life is an uneventful day. No day is without profound meaning, no matter how dull and boring it might seem. It doesn't matter whether you are a seamstress or a queen, a shoeshine boy or a movie star, a renowned philosopher or a Down's syndrome child. In every day of your life there are opportunities to touch someone's life.

Some people joke that a salesperson (or anybody on commission for that matter) wakes up every morning unemployed. Independent of his/her past sales record, he/she needs to create some new business or his/her sales career is finished. That is the only thing our working days have in common.

For a salesperson each day should be fulfilling. If on one side we are providing for ourselves by closing a deal, on the other hand we had our client's needs understood and satisfied. We are now (for better or for worse) part of their life experience. To make these contacts beneficial for both parties is what brings fulfillment to those involved. It is the mystical side of our careers that I specially treasure.

Considering that we are selling every time we interact with other human beings, it is our obligation to make these associations as constructive as we can. Little acts of kindness can go a long way. It will work with our clients, our family, our co-workers, and anybody else we happen to network with.

In sales, as on stage, each day is full of opportunities, open to improvements and ready to become unforgettable. And who decides how each day goes? Each one of us - and I wouldn't want it any other way!
