Sales tip: Maintain a positive attitude at all times.  You might be thinking, “That’s great and all, but having a good attitude won’t seal the deal.”  Well, actually your attitude determines success in almost any field, but especially sales.

Why?

The greatest salespeople are likable people.  Potential customers buy from people they like and trust.  When interacting with customers, your attitude has everything to do with the outcome.

Here are three attitude tips:

1.  Have a good feeling about yourself.  No, that’s not selfish.  How is anyone going to like and trust you if you don’t like and trust yourself?

2. Love what you do.  If you love what you do, that comes across in your tone, your facial expressions, and the way you speak.  Customers can sense a salesperson’s level of passion right away.

3. Seek to help other people. If you genuinely want to see the customer get what’s best for them, the customer will be able to relax and trust you.  If you’re trying to push your agenda even indirectly, the customer will feel anxious and in a hurry to leave.

Bonus tip: Try smiling! You’ll feel better about yourself, and you might just make someone’s day.
