Team Spirit Should Be Alive AND Well

e-Life is a Team Sport. ALWAYS ask for help. Self-reliance and jagged individualism are "HIGHLY" Over-Rated. Both breed jealousy and contempt. Just because you're hustling for sales all by yourself, doesn't mean you have to be alone.

Help surrounds you, but you must ask for it. Using your selling skills in all directions is impotent. Ask your administrative support people how best to proceed. Make it a HABIT to say "thank you" all day and night. You shouldn't attempt to dump difficult situations up the line, BUT.... make it clear that you need a little help,

In the end, GOOD or bad, YOU retain full responsibility for the outcome of all situations in your charge. You should always supply the company staff you represent with your efforts and they in effect, WILL work with you and FOR you, in supporting what you do. Use the chain of command; NEVER be afraid to ask.

Selling support people on the idea of supporting you is definitely MORE important than selling any single, big account. Without the first sale, you'll have REAL trouble with the second sale. How good ARE your sales skills?

Here's a thought:

The universe CAN'T say "NO" to you. It ONLY limits how much it says "YES!"

The question s this: How FAR do you really want to GO?

Getting what you WANT in LIFE, requires a great deal of personal courage, stamina and vision. However, we ALL need help at different points in time. Don't assume that everybody in your company is on your team. They MUST also be recruited ( BY you ) and then rooted on to victory and thanked in every way possible.

In e-sales, prayer shouldn't be your only option. Don't do anything alone - ASK for help. Be sure you get qualified assistance or you'll stagnate and sell zero.
