Comparisons

While feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance are important for everyone, salespeople with a healthy level of self-esteem stand to gain many professional benefits. When you have faith in yourself and your ability, you’re better able to shake off rejection, sell effectively, and project the air of self-confidence that gives customers confidence in you. To lift up your self-esteem, stop comparing yourself with others. If you want to measure your success, compare your recent performance with the results of your efforts six months or six years ago. Competition can be healthy and may help enhance your performance, but don’t let it determine how you feel about yourself or your potential.
