Here are more great tips on how to increase your success.
10. Lack of focus and concentration of effort
Concentrate all your efforts on one definite, chief aim. It is better to finish one of your goals on a daily basis than try to accomplish them all and not complete a single one. Focus on one at a time and follow it through to fruition.
11. Lack of enthusiasm
People like enthusiastic leaders who can effectively express their enthusiasm for the business, their products and services to their management teams and customers/clients. If you don't express excitement during your interactions with the people you are interacting with, you will not be perceived as an authentic leader.
12. Intolerance
You cannot have a closed mind in business. Being closed-minded shows that you are not open to new ideas, learning, or growing. Some people also might perceive this trait in you as a sign of inflexibility. Corporate organizations do not promote inflexible people.
13. Intentional dishonesty
There is no substitute for honesty. A force of circumstances over which one has no control could render a person temporarily dishonest, without permanent damage. Don't fall into such a trap.
Always put true information on all of your correspondences. If you lie in any of these, your untruthfulness is found out after you a period of time, it could be solid grounds for losing business.
14. Coming off as being egotistical or vain
Self-absorption is a real turnoff and a red flag during your interaction and while representing your business in the marketplace. Be careful of using your pride and ego as armor when you're feeling vulnerable. Always present yourself honestly and genuinely. You must always appear authentic. Individuals are inspired by people they like, know, and trust.
15. Guessing instead of thinking
"Shooting from the hip" and making guesses during any of your presentations will weaken your professional standing. It will quickly knock you out of the running for any competitive business. Remember to do your company, competitive, and point-of-sales research in advance of any type of one-on-one meeting. Be thoroughly prepared for every meeting.
They are simple but very sound and effective proven tips to ensure more solid success for your management team and your company!
I wish you a wonderfully successful and productive week ahead.

Secrets to Strengthening Attitude
And Confidence in Challenging Moments
New Business Campaign is always challenging, but it's particularly challenging when one is in a very competitive marketplace. At times, life can seem like a roller coaster ride. Some days you will feel better than others. Some days will be more productive than others. But as Scarlett O'Hara said in Gone with the Wind, "Tomorrow is another day." Start each day with fresh confidence and strength of heart.
The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can,
I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate
their waking thoughts on what they should have or
would have done, or what they can't do.
—Dr. Dennis Waitley, The Psychology of Winning

The key to maintaining a positive mindset during your New Business Campaign is being prepared to keep getting back on your horse. Sit straight in your saddle with confidence.

Define what you are grateful for.
Admit when you are overwhelmed and address the situation.

Rely on a higher authority to help you through the rough spots.
Never give up on the belief in yourself and that you will succeed in landing that next great corporate business account.
Remember to:
1. Put things in perspective. Look beyond the present.
2. Make sure you are reaching out for support.
3. Remind yourself that this is only a small portion of your life's big picture.

I believe in you. I know you will find your next BIG piece of corporate business. Stay in the game. You will need determination, patience, and a committed drive to keep pressing forward toward your goal.
The mind can convince a competent person that
he is incompetent or an adequate person that he is highly
talented. Unfortunately, self-doubt and negative attitudes
seem to have a more powerful influence on the mind than
positive attitudes. Usually a person is not aware that he
is setting himself up or limiting his capabilities.
—Bruce Bowman
It is up to you to decide how you want to live each day. What are you going to do with each day of our life?
You are in the driver's seat of your life and can point
your life down any road you want to travel. You can
go as fast or as slow as you want to go . . . and you
can change the road you're on at any time.
—Jinger Heath
