Getting Out of a Sales Slump

By Buddy Wisdom

How do you get out of a sales slump? How do you beat those head trips in the thick of adversity? When constant defeats and letdowns seem everywhere, how do you change the way you are feeling? Getting out of a sales slump is mentally, physically and economically exhausting. Let’s examine it.

A sales slump by description is a situation where you have selling skills, but as of late, those skills seem to have mysteriously abandoned you, and nothing that has worked in the past is working now. By nature, a sales slump starts small, began by chance, or a set of unfortunate circumstances. Perhaps your attitude wasn’t initially quite right. But, rather than recognizing those short-lived circumstances as a normal cause of disappointment, we begin to manifest negativity that transfers our reaction to the next circumstance. It becomes psychological; in fact, it becomes a small neurosis.
