Six Obstacles Preventing You from Achieving Your Goals at Media Sales (Part 2)

In my last post, I talked about what I thought might be obstacles to achieving my goals for the past 12 months.

Here they are again.

  1. The goal might have been too much of a stretch.
  2. I did not give myself a realistic time to achieve it.
  3. I did not allocate the right time and resources to make it happen.
  4. I was not committed emotionally to it.
  5. I did not WORK AT IT WITH THE SAME PASSION AS THE ONES I ACHIEVED.
  6. I did not monitor it.

I hope to set big goals using these solutions by changing my mindset a little this year.

  1. The goal might have been too much of a stretch – Maybe it’s just working out a way to simplify it. Instead of saying, “I’m going to generate 50% more in sales for 2023”, why not say “, 25% in first 6 months, balance for the rest of the year.” It’s perhaps just as simple as chunking it down.
  2. I did not give myself a realistic time to achieve it – I set up small time frames, I might have expected to achieve it sooner, and when I realized that I did not have a show of getting it, perhaps I should have stopped and re-evaluated it.
  3. I did not allocate the right time and resources to make it happen. Set time aside to work on that specific goal. Even if it is only an hour at a time.
  4. I was not committed emotionally to it – get involved; if you are not committed, then it’s not a goal; it’s a wish.
  5. I did not WORK AT THE GOAL WITH THE SAME PASSION AS THE ONES I DID ACHIEVE- This is where you chunk it down if your goal is to have 5 new clients a month and you are finding that challenging, then scope it back to 2.
  6. I did not monitor it- Keep a journal. I got a great tip from an article I read on running up a journal of what you do each week. Just a summary. I use these headings –What I am grateful for, What opportunities I see- What I did- What I will do that week.

In my next article, I will talk about my one-hour-a-day idea.

Until then.

P.S.

Are you a salesperson? Probably – but not everyone here is. This is just for working salespeople among us.

Are you struggling to grow your clientele, ask the right questions, be better at presentations, build rapport quickly with your clients, close deals, and get real sales leads?

I used to be like that, but then I stopped doing the stuff that everyone else did and stopped vomiting over my clients and telling them how wonderful I was. I changed my own game.

Put yourself on a different level. It’s not more complicated. It’s not more work than you already do, and it pays way more.
