This is a “mental mastery” business. Most of what you need to be successful is within your control. Taking pride in what you do is essential to your success. Here are 3 things specifically you need to take pride in.
The first thing to take pride in is yourself. You ask of no one anything you have not earned. You have chosen a profession with unlimited freedom and opportunity. Most people are willing to take a job where they can trade average effort for average wages, blindly believing this is the path to stability. You on the other hand refuse to sell out for comfort and ease. You are willing to get up each day knowing that it’s up to you. You arm yourself by spending time daily developing your mindset and your skills. You join a distinguished list of entrepreneurs who refused to settle for mediocrity. You choose to bet on yourself and in that you should take pride.
Next, take pride in your company. Respect and appreciate those who started and built the company you are associated with. They deserve your best efforts because they have invested their time and their fortunes to create the opportunity you now have. Get to know them. Learn everything you can about the history of your company. Make sure to talk about your company to your prospective customers. Prospects love to do business with someone who has pride in both themselves and their company.
Finally, take pride in your products and services. You are in the business of “making sure that bad things don’t happen to good people.” Yours is a noble calling with a product that changes lives! People need and want the solutions that you can provide to the problems they have. Peace of mind, protection of their home, business, and family, life safety, and the lifestyle enhancements that come with today’s latest smart home technology. Spend time learning about your products and services and why they are the finest available. Talk benefits and learn to ask the powerful questions that bring to the surface customer needs and desires.
Enter the marketplace daily with your head held high and your heart bursting with pride. May all who meet you immediately sense the pride you have in yourself, your company, and your products.
