Latest / Intuitive Coaching with Amy Radio / Why Are Sales Emotionally Triggering?
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hi had see me with intuitive coaching with Amy Radio,
- 0:05Speaker 1: and this is your sacred space for spirituality, intuition, manifestation,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and metaphysical wisdom. Today I am answering the question why
- 0:14Speaker 1: do sales feel emotionally triggering? Well, my first answer is,
- 0:21Speaker 1: you're making sales mean something about you personally. So then
- 0:26Speaker 1: you take the potential of rejection personally, you take someone
- 0:29Speaker 1: saying no. Personally, you are connecting your self worth and
- 0:34Speaker 1: your sense of self to a simple way of communicating
- 0:38Speaker 1: an offer, and an offer is what a business uses
- 0:43Speaker 1: to make money. Now, number two reason, the money piece
- 0:49Speaker 1: sales is directly connected to receiving money, and we're not
- 0:53Speaker 1: taught even though we live in this society where money
- 0:56Speaker 1: is important, that it's one hundred percent okay to receive money,
- 1:01Speaker 1: we're actually taught the opposite. We're actually taught that it's
- 1:05Speaker 1: bad to even talk about money. So I think those
- 1:09Speaker 1: two things combined is why sales can bring up so
- 1:13Speaker 1: many feelings. Sales can also bring up a feeling, bring
- 1:20Speaker 1: up a lot of feelings of your own business because
- 1:24Speaker 1: it's your way of supporting yourself and it can feel
- 1:28Speaker 1: urgent to get a sale. So my recommendation is to
- 1:34Speaker 1: see sales as a natural part of doing business. Do
- 1:38Speaker 1: sales consistently, whether you're a salesperson for a company or
- 1:42Speaker 1: whether you're doing sales in your own business. I would
- 1:46Speaker 1: say study successful salespeople, pay attention to how they approach
- 1:51Speaker 1: the sales process. Ultimately you're going to create your own process.
- 1:56Speaker 1: But the main thing is is you want to see
- 1:58Speaker 1: someone who does it with confidence, someone who can be
- 2:03Speaker 1: really consistent and not take any of that personal line.
- 2:10Speaker 1: So one more time, sales is just a natural part
- 2:13Speaker 1: of doing business. The way you would respond to having
- 2:19Speaker 1: to craft an email to a client or customers, the
- 2:22Speaker 1: same way I want you to approach sales. It's just
- 2:25Speaker 1: a part of the routine, the same way you enter time.
- 2:30Speaker 1: If that's the type of environment you're in, it's the
- 2:33Speaker 1: same way you'd approach doing sales. It's just a part
- 2:38Speaker 1: of working. It's just a part of business. Now, if
- 2:44Speaker 1: you're in a sales role for company and it's not clicking,
- 2:48Speaker 1: then I would encourage you to get another job. But
- 2:55Speaker 1: if you've started a business, there's no way around sales.
- 3:00Speaker 1: To get comfortable with sales, and it really starts with
- 3:04Speaker 1: choosing to see it is just something that you do.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's not a reflection of you. It doesn't mean anything
- 3:10Speaker 1: about you. Rejection will come with doing sales. You'll hear
- 3:15Speaker 1: knows that's okay. You'll hear crickets that's okay. And when
- 3:21Speaker 1: it comes to sales, tune out everybody else's business. I said,
- 3:25Speaker 1: follow a really successful sales person, But when it comes
- 3:29Speaker 1: to listening to people talk about their businesses and their sales,
- 3:33Speaker 1: tune all of that out. You're studying. You're studying the
- 3:38Speaker 1: way somebody approaches sales, the energy they bring to sales,
- 3:42Speaker 1: not their results, because everybody's results are uniquely their own.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So you can look at a business and say, well,
- 3:55Speaker 1: they're doing these type of numbers and they do it
- 3:57Speaker 1: this way, and maybe there is some wisdom that can
- 4:00Speaker 1: support you in being more efficient with your sales. But
- 4:03Speaker 1: more often than not, what I have found is do
- 4:07Speaker 1: it my own way, don't take it personally, and recognize
- 4:11Speaker 1: that it's just a normal part of doing business. It
- 4:14Speaker 1: doesn't need to be a big deal, it doesn't need
- 4:18Speaker 1: to be overthought. You just do it. You know, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: sales looks differently for every business, but anywhere where you're
- 4:26Speaker 1: making an offer, so a sales call in my mind
- 4:29Speaker 1: is this podcast. It could be a post on social
- 4:33Speaker 1: it could be an email, it can be a conversation.
- 4:38Speaker 1: All of its sales, and so enjoy it. Find a
- 4:44Speaker 1: way to enjoy it, do it your own way, and trust,
- 4:49Speaker 1: really trust, as long as your emotions are tied to sales.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And again, I've been there, you don't see where the
- 4:59Speaker 1: client is. You kind of miss the moment. You don't
- 5:03Speaker 1: see where the right offer is to the right person
- 5:06Speaker 1: that you can make at the right time. All of
- 5:09Speaker 1: that speeds up the process, but it requires that you
- 5:12Speaker 1: are tuned into yourself and trusting that everything's going to
- 5:16Speaker 1: be okay. But as long as you are attaching it
- 5:19Speaker 1: to who you are as a person, and the success
- 5:21Speaker 1: of one call being the be all, end all. And
- 5:25Speaker 1: when I say call again, I'm referring to all aspects
- 5:31Speaker 1: of all ways in which we sell in this time
- 5:33Speaker 1: space reality. Yeah, it can feel scary one, but it's
- 5:38Speaker 1: your job to decide it's not scary. It's not going
- 5:41Speaker 1: to hurt you, it's not going to destroy you. But
- 5:46Speaker 1: what will is not hitting your sales targets. Whether you're
- 5:50Speaker 1: in a job or whether you're working for yourself. It
- 5:55Speaker 1: can can really bum you out when it's a very
- 5:58Speaker 1: basic process and you just have to do it. You
- 6:03Speaker 1: just have to do it. I think it will help
- 6:07Speaker 1: to start believing that there are people who want to
- 6:09Speaker 1: say yes, and you are looking for those people. And
- 6:13Speaker 1: sure along the way, one more time you will see
- 6:15Speaker 1: the nose, you will see the rejections. But again, it's
- 6:18Speaker 1: not about you. So be willing to put yourself out there,
- 6:23Speaker 1: be willing to be consistent, be willing to trust that
- 6:27Speaker 1: there is a sale for you. And the more you're
- 6:31Speaker 1: able to clear the resistance around sales, the more you're
- 6:34Speaker 1: able to clear that emotional charge around sales, the easier
- 6:38Speaker 1: it will be to find your path to creating consistent
- 6:41Speaker 1: sales in your business or in your job. So I say,
- 6:46Speaker 1: do your best to stop taking it personally. I was
- 6:51Speaker 1: a salesperson before I started a business, and I remember
- 6:55Speaker 1: being so nervous on calls, and then I had a
- 6:59Speaker 1: moment where I decided to know, this isn't going to work.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I can't spend all day, every day feeling this way.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And I had to consciously decide that I was going
- 7:09Speaker 1: to find a way to make sales work for me.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And then everything shifted. Same thing occurred in my business.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Many years. I've spent feeling nervous and scared, and I
- 7:21Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, I'm in charge of how
- 7:23Speaker 1: I feel, and there's really no reason to be nervous
- 7:26Speaker 1: or scared, And being nervous and scared is keeping me
- 7:30Speaker 1: from hearing my intuition, which is making it all so
- 7:33Speaker 1: much harder. So you have to make a conscious choice
- 7:36Speaker 1: that you're just not going to let it trigger you.
- 7:40Speaker 1: It's not harming you like they're you know, I'm kind
- 7:44Speaker 1: of I don't even like that word trigger for this
- 7:47Speaker 1: because it's not hurting you. You know, if it's not
- 7:51Speaker 1: bright for you, if you're you don't feel like it's
- 7:55Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse, then you may want to rethink being
- 7:59Speaker 1: in business for yourself, and you may want to think
- 8:01Speaker 1: being in a sales position. But outside of that, it's
- 8:04Speaker 1: not going to hurt you. It's not going to hurt you.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Somebody says no, they're not interested in your offer, which
- 8:10Speaker 1: very few people say no. They just don't respond. It's
- 8:15Speaker 1: just you just file it away or you deleted. Cool,
- 8:18Speaker 1: you move on. It's not the end of the world.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So I get it. I do think trigger is probably
- 8:26Speaker 1: a stronger word, but it do. You also get that
- 8:28Speaker 1: it can create a lot of heavy emotions that make
- 8:32Speaker 1: it difficult to show up into your job. So annoying.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Am I minimizing the feeling? But one more time, sales
- 8:39Speaker 1: doesn't hurt you. And every business on the planet finds
- 8:43Speaker 1: a way to do sales in a way in which
- 8:45Speaker 1: feels right and true to them, and you're no different.
- 8:50Speaker 1: So just find your way and stay consistent and trust
- 8:53Speaker 1: that it will all come together and as you continue
- 8:57Speaker 1: to move towards your desire, you get better and better
- 9:00Speaker 1: at it. Okay, So, if you're ready to take your
