Selling Success is not only determined by your knowledge of the sales cycle, selling strategies, sales secrets or even conversational skills. As important as these things are, your personal emotions will often determine your level of attainment and financial success in your selling career and every other area of your life. Regrettably, many sales training books and courses ignore this area completely, but here, we give you an inside look into why it’s important.
In this article, we will explore an area that many people are afraid of today and seriously ignore in their lives today. They experience enormous frustration and anxiety as a result of failing to understand its importance, but this is preventable if you begin to make this one change in your life.
Express genuine gratitude and thankfulness for everything you have or receive into your life. Do this at every opportunity.
There are countless reasons as to why expressing gratitude is important, and it can truly be a game-changer in all aspects of your life. Here are four simple reasons explained.
1. It feels good.
To feel good is the reason that we do most of what we choose to do in life. So, why not express gratitude to feel good? It is virtually impossible to feel genuinely grateful for something and feel bad at the same time. Therefore, it makes sense to give thanks at every opportunity. Our advice is to look for opportunities everywhere, and watch your mood change almost immediately.
2. What you appreciate will appreciate in value.
In other words it will grow. It has been shown that when you think about something, or focus your attention on it, it will grow. A simple example would be when you express thanks for a gift from a friend or a family member, chances are that another gift will follow at some point in time. However, if a gift is accepted and no thanks is given or gratitude shown, the chances that another gift will follow is definitely diminished.
After all, why would someone continue to favor you with something that you aren’t grateful to receive?
3. Expressing gratitude spreads joy into the world.
Make no mistake about it, everyone, absolutely everyone, likes to be thanked. It makes them feel good too. It’s very easy to spread some joy in the world just by expressing thanks. Have you noticed how fewer and fewer people are saying thank you, even after someone has spent money with them?
4. It curbs greed and anxiety.
In our opinion, this point is huge.
When people do not express gratitude for what they have and what they have received in the past, they develop the feeling of lack in their lives. They feel anxious and they develop a sense of greed, not simply a healthy desire for more, which often leads to some serious behavioral issues. When someone is always grateful, they will attract much more abundance, at all levels.
The feeling of lack breeds more lack. The feeling of abundance breeds more abundance. When you feel you have abundance are you likely to feel greedy or anxious about anything? On the other hand, if you feel something is missing in your life, doesn’t that create anxiety and stress?
Eliminate the stress and greed in your life by showing and feeling gratitude for what you have and what you continue to receive. Some call this the basis for The Universal Law of Attraction.
