My Learnings From The Cigar Vendor

While waiting for the worship service to start, I noticed a friend of mine Robert Pino, selling cigar at the roadside. I approached him with curiosity to know about his reason in deciding totally to leave the world of salesmanship and venture to his own business.

Unlike from other eyes, at first glance, I considered him doing the best move in his life in moving out to business world. I admired his determination, hardwork, and dedication toward his goals to build someday a big business starting from a very humble kind of business - cigar vendor.

I was so inquisitive in our conversation , thus I got several learning points that inspired me too much. See the following below:

1. it takes boldness to take the high risk of business
2. treat business as the highest paid profession
3. discipline yourself to allot savings from your profits regularly
4. side step from the negative talks of other people
5. be a good friend to hardwork
6. be innovative to take the next level of your business
7. prohibit yourself from any vices
8. avoid that charm of girls
9. start from a little investment then make it grow
10. be God your business partner

Putting Worth Value To Every "No"

The best learning point I got from the PowerSales Seminar I attended last Friday was about the optimistic way of dealing the number of "No" answer in sales.

It was being explained thoroughly by Mr. Joey Reyes thru an example. Say for instance if you are convince that for every "yes" you've got, you need first a 100 number of "No"s. And the value of a single yes would worth a commission for example of P20,000. To get the value of every no the math would be P20,000 divided by 100 would yield to P200 peso value for every "No" answer. Meaning finding the answer of "No" would be worth the effort of earning P200 pesos.

Due to this motivational concept, I was so energetic setting up a goal for the day to make a 25 sales calls. Not minding about the type of answer, because I all know that for every call I made it has a P200 peso value put into it.

Yes approximately without so much effort I able to meet my goal for the day. In fact I have a good conversion rate of 3:25. Thank you!

The Power of Mind

I affirmed to the consideration that Mind is Power.

I had been into so many situations where a difficult scenarios or problems surfaced. And so many times I acted upon my thoughts unconciously that made me to act of what I was not expected to happen.

As I went back studying my thoughts, I discovered that the programmed installed in my mind so many years ago, during my childhood days. That in every difficult situation the right response would be to let myself down. Feeling sad and worry about what to do. I observed that the more worry about the situation the more it becomes worser.

The Law of Attraction is right and operating always. We become because of what we predominantly allow into our mind.

Mind is Power. Either to your success or failure. By taking advantage of its power, its up to us to guide the power into the right channel we want to happen.

And the power of it will work accordingly.

In a Meeting

Last morning I was being informed by Sir Bingo to have a meeting by 3:30pm.

I prepared myself by making another followup and sales calls to the prospects in the pipeline. The training that I attended last friday made me inspired to make into application especially the concept of loving the "No"'s because it has a worth value. I put a value of 200 pesos per No answer of the prospect.

I was reminded that I had set an appointment in ASTRO. Before I went there I made a confirmation call and it was confirmed from them to pursue. I rushed out the office at 1pm with Hyacinth for the appointment.

Hyacinth and me were amazed on how I dealth with the Indian Programmers warmly as though we're close friends already. In fact I oftentimes broke a joke from them.

We went back in the office at 4pm already but still we had a meeting with Sir Bingo. I apologized to him the uncontrolled situation from our meeting in ASTRO that's why we came back late.

I had discussed to him about the prospects status in the pipeline and the next steps to do.

The Filipino Language

Last Night during my study of the lesson for PNK worship service, I decided to use the Filipino Language instead of the vernacular "Cebuano". I felt so awkward during my review.

By the time I delivered my preaching I felt a little nervous that surfaced in my tone of voice. But when I persisted to do my best boldy, I was able to conquer my fear or nervousness. In fact I didn't expect in the process that I internalized what I'd told thru reflection of myself.

Thank you that I made it with prowess and confidence thru the guidance of our almighty God.
