Today in class the concept of buoyancy came up. I feel that buoyancy may be one of the most important skills to develop not just as a salesperson but also as a human being. Allow me to elaborate I struggle with buoyancy in my day to day life. Little things tend to make me very upset and\/or depressed for a very long time. I have tried to work hard on this and have far less problems with this than I used to but it still gets be from time to time. I really want to try the self talk aspects more as I feel I am my own worst critic and biggest doubter. I engage in far more negative self talk than is healthy. I need to find the line between pride and encouragement. I do feel that working in more hands on jobs like All Good Things [a local thrift store where I volunteer] has given me a thicker skin to deal with rejections. I try to approach customers there and try sales techniques from the class and that I have learned from other volunteers. It can be hard sometimes people just do not want to talk to someone that works at the store. Others just aren’t in the mood to buy. But being rejected there helps me to separate the role me from the real me in this kind of situation. But practicing rejection and failing can help more than the short term pain would indicate. Of course, being buoyant is a both a state of mind and a skill one which may take years to develop and may never be truly complete. There can and will be situations which you simply cannot be buoyant through. But each opportunity we fail may lead to greater success in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
