Yes, the lack of sales is not caused by the market, your competitors or even your boss. Salespeople are the problems, and the big problem is that they don't even realize this. By far the biggest problem is salespeople not realizing that they are the problem and justify their situation as 'everyone is also like that, right' thinking.

There are 8 ways that salespeople make themselves the biggest problem. Know them, eradicate them, and you'll be on the path to greatness in sales...

Lack of Selling Skills, especially in doing sales follow-up and overcoming of tough objections;
Never Leverage on the Team, especially the customer's team and your company's support team;

Lack of Lead Generating Activities, resulting in no prospects to follow-up on and thus no prospects in sales;
Never Listen to the Real Needs of customers, thus missing on the big picture and cannot close sales;
Stop Learning and Think that they Know Everything. Like many of them still doesn't know how the PIC scheme can help them to increase their sales;

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls
