Goals

“Before you can score,” goes the Greek proverb, “you must first have a goal.” This is true in life, and it is doubly true in selling. Set proper goals for yourself and adhere to them, and your sights will be set. You will be on target. Lacking goals, the natural tendency is to flounder. If you need help setting goals, enlist a mentor or your supervisor to brainstorm. Be realistic about timing. Periodically review your goals and adjust them if necessary. Above all, never confuse setting goals with achieving them.
