18 Jun Sales Games – Do the Math

Sales Games Know your Numbers

You need to treat sales as a game of life. You compete against other sales people and companies to win the business. Most importantly you compete against yourself to play the game of sales better. Sounds like golf, doesn’t it.  A uses most of it’s energy during take off, then once it reaches it’s desired altitude it lets off on the fuel. If the plane want to reach a higher altitude it applies more fuel. Of the plane want to lower it’s altitude it use less fuel. How much energy are you using to real the sales altitude you desire? If you have not gotten your sales off the ground yet? You better take massive action and stir up as much energy you can to have your sales take off.
