21 Day Sales learning Challenge: Day1

"God's Scheduling my Work Day"

I have a strong belief in my Father, Jesus Christ and know that He will always provide the necessary business.

This week I scheduled a meeting with a new referral partner of mine I've never worked with yet. His client
was interested in a quote from our company. As I'm putting the meeting in my calendar I immeditaly began regretting the decision.

Negativity hit me when I bagan studying the issues at hand and what I actually did... I scheduled an appt. that was 2hours away from the office, without traffic, at 3:30pm (only time client could meet). This meant that after my 45-60min meeting, I'd have to get back in the car and sit in rush hour traffic, adding at least 2.5 to 3 hours back home. That's a potential 5-6 hour appointment?!

Now keep in mind this appointment was confirmed on Monday, so I had two days to build up the frustration to marinate  on today (wednesday) meeting.

Well, now the day's over, ready to hear what I learned today?!

The so called long day for one potential client can have more in store than you can ever imagine. And today in my sales journey, it had nothing to do with selling. It was all about enjoying the little things in life that distract you from work....while working!

Here's how the day went. The referal partner who currently controls the clients policy asks to carpool. That works, carpool lane  and someone to talk to to and from appt.

Jump on car, immediatly he noticed I had a bible on the car...Come to find out, he's a brother in Christ. We spent the entire 2 hour drive talking about God and how blessed our lives are currently.

The meeting went great, new client for me and my company. But that didn't matter anymore.

I was more excited to leave the meeting see we could jump back in the car and continue our conversations talking about our Purpose in life as a Christian in sales.

I learned to ask myself "Why create negative vibes prior to your day, or appointment, on something that can turn out better than you imagine?"

We can't judge a book by its cover. If I were to title today on Monday, like it's a story in a book, it would be "Stop, turn around, don't waste your time." But now that I "wrote/lived the story" I am removing that negative title and calling this days book "Positivity and Sucess Reveals Itself in Mysterious Ways."

2 Corinthians 4:13-14
"It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself."
