Hard work and determination are two important attributes of top sales performers. Will Smith, who played Christopher Gardner's on-screen character in "The Pursuit of Happyness", faced setback after setback as he chased down a job at a top broker agency.
He gets ahead of the competition by making the most of these selling essentials:
Positivity. He refuses to be cowed by the fact that he can't work the same long hours as his coworkers.
Optimism. He maintains a cheerful and polite attitude to the people he's cold-calling, even in the midst of rejection after rejection.
Creativity. He's willing to experiment outside of the recommended sales process by calling high, rather than calling up the ladder.
Brand. He uses his company's brand reputation to establish credibility and navigate past gatekeepers.
Flexibility. Even though he's supposed to continue cold-calling, he immediately grabs the opportunity for a face-to-face meeting.
We're not suggesting you stop drinking water but this scene also shows that finding your workflow gets your productivity higher.
