Even nearly 2 decades since my first summer... you're still my "sales" manager. Well said, I'm sure you don't need my accolades to become confident in this blog. So, I'm adding a spin thought I had: I love the topic. One of the comments above got me to think about FALSE CONFIDENCE: to some sales people although they are confident, but it's sometimes areas that are ill-founded, yet they can still be considered a successful saleperson. So, if a sales person can be 'fake', so to say, then I say why not strap on a little "self generated" confidence in the areas that you are successful in to get kick-started in the newly tried selling arena. Just a thought. Lee — great words! Even nearly 2 decades since my first summer… you’re still my “sales” manager.

I heard from a record-breaker, Dustin Hillis, when atending their conference at Success Starts Now, that there are 3 types of confidence: false confidence,conditional confidence, unconditional confidence. And the real confidence that take people to do what they didn't even believe they would be able to is the unconditional confidence. I buy that idea.

Campbell Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:04:26 +0000 http://www.swsalestalk.com/?p=15#comment-2 I think the author hit the nail on the head. Confidence is a foundational element for sales. If confident in yourself and your product, your prospect will be excited also. If you are not confident, it shows through and the prospect quickly loses interest, or even respect. So put on that smile and be genuine. When you believe in who you are and what you can accomplish, the first boundary has been broken. The strength of confidence can never be assumed or underestimated. I think the author hit the nail on the head. Confidence is a foundational element for sales.
