Ownership and sales

I was thinking today how important it is for the salesperson to take ownership over their own career. I was reading about Lincoln and came to conclusion that he was forced to take ownership over his fate; the civil war. Because he did he was able to see through the fog or reports that he received, and make clear decisions.

You, too, are surrounded by fog...or noise...which clouds the decision making process. If you owned the situation, and realized that all the smoke, the fog, the noise only impeded your true potential, you would be better off. You are in control 99% of the time, it just doesn't appear to be that way.

Next time something happens, take control, own the situation and not let others tell you what, how and when to solve the issue.

Good Selling.
