Music is powerful.  It can recall a distant memory.  It can change your mental state in just a few seconds.  Music can pump you up or calm you down.   I recall setting best times during a swim meet with Beethoven’s Ninth banging around in my head!  If you’re selling with the Southwestern Company, music can be part of your morning ritual to get ready for Mrs. Jones.

So here’s a question for salespeople: what music motivates you?  Do you get fired up before your sales day with some old time Rock & Roll?  or with some heavy-duty rap?  Or do you like to get centered, focused and calmed down with a dose of Brahms (classical), or even some Dave Brubeck (jazz)?

I’m conducting the most un-scientific study ever. The poll is in the margin to your left.   Vote for the music genre that inspires you to be your best!  That puts you in the mood to sell.  Also, feel free to comment if you want to get really specific with a group or performer.  (Eg. “James Blunt really gets me jacked up!”)  Let’s see how we use music to get into a peak selling state.
