Don’t take your frustrations out on your customers
Sales and Service roles are not for the faint hearted and can often take their toll on your good nature, your energy and your ability to deal effectively with frustrating issues, especially when you put in the effort to do the ‘right thing' by your customers and it is not appreciated, acknowledged or actioned. At the end of a long day or week dealing with lots of people, pulling together various deals, solving problems and keeping your energy levels up and being on your best behaviour, you could be forgiven for being a bit ‘short' if things don't go according to plan and something falls short of your expectations. To manage our frustrations, sales and service people can resort to all sorts of remedies.

LIFE IS DIFFICULT
In Scott Peck’s remarkable book; “The Road Less Traveled,” first published in 1978, he opens with the now famous line; “Life is difficult.” He then goes on to say; “this is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult --- once we truly understand and accept it --- then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

THOUGHT SHOWERING (BRAINSTORMING)
After having defined the problem, the precise aspect which is making you feel bad, you go to the second stage which is brainstorming.

Solve Problems Permanently Ask WHY
Someone once said that the real issue behind a problem, is one or more levels below the problem. So, solving problems by fire-fighting when they arise, is firstly, not going to actually solve the problem for good. And secondly, it's tiring, wearing, distracting and worse, it causes a really demotivating environment. Definitely not good - not good at all. So the best thing is to find out what's really going on, and to do this, you need to go deep. Here's how...
Professional Sales People Do Not Fear Rejection
Professional Sales People Do Not Fear Rejection Wrong! Sales people are still people and they have the same basic fears as regular people. They learned adaptability strategies to help them reframe rejection and not take it personally. Rejection is harder to handle for some than for others. How do you not take rejection personally? A better question might be “in what ways can you not take rejection personally?”

Sales is the Most Stressful Job There is.
Sales is the Most Stressful Job There is. Wrong. With the correct adaptability strategies, sales can be fun, financially rewarding and emotionally satisfying. As we talked about in an earlier email, selling has nothing to do with your success. Selling is helping others to buy. That is why selling can be so rewarding.

True Sales Professionals are Born
WRONG – Sales is like any other profession. If you are an accountant you went through years of training to receive that designation of CPA.

Why would learning to sell be any different? Anyone Can Be a Great at Sales.

You’re up at 5:00a.m. to fit in exercise before the phone begins ringing off the hook at the office. You are too busy scheduling and attending meetings to get through the stack of bills on your desk, which include a mortgage, a car payment (or two), orthodontics, college tuition, an equity loan, and several pleas from worthy nonprofits. It is your spouse’s birthday next week and you’ve just found out you have to be out of town on business (again). Yesterday’s emails, all marked “urgent,” still sit unopened in your inbox. You will skip lunch today to catch up. Oops! You forgot. You have a lunch meeting. Welcome to the new normal!
Problem Solving: Step One
The first step to solving any problem is asking yourself this question: Am I trying to solve a problem or am I trying to change something that I have no power to change? In my world a problem is something that I can solve with the resources that are at my disposal using skills I own within a reasonable length of time. Something I can’t change is a condition, not a problem. We’ve all hear “conditions of employment.” haven't we?
Why Setting Financial Goal For a New Entrepreneur Can Feel Scary
As entrepreneurs, we get paid for results, solving problems and our creativity. This fact reinforced my fear of not achieving the goal. Over a period of time, I discovered that it is OK to set a financial goal, but constantly keep these two things in mind while pursuing your financial goal: 1. Be emotionally detached from the financial goal/money itself. 2. Be inspired and give focused attention and energy to “WHY” you set the financial goal and WHAT you want to do with the money.

Become Your Problem
Mahatma Gandhi once said "You must become the change you seek in the world." I believe the same logic can be applied to solving problems. If you become your problem, you actually stand a better chance of solving it. As I watch the drama of the oil spill and clean up unfold, I am reminded that some problems are particularly nasty to resolve. One technique that often leads to helpful and creative insights is to personify the problem and try to analyze it as if you were the object. This is particularly helpful in team environments. This technique was useful in the remarkable rescue of the Apollo 13 Astronauts. Once you attempt to act and feel like a stuck valve or an overheated radiator, you can elicit some highly creative solutions to challenging problems. The attached story is a cute reminder of this principle.
