Discipline: the secret behind incredible results

[shukla7789]

Many people associate discipline with something rigid, boring and even punitive. But the truth is that discipline is much more than that.

Initiative and motivation are fantastic, but what usually happens is that the person has a lot of initiative and little finishing.

We need more completion. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. But if you don't take the second, the third and the thousandth step, you'll stay right there.

If you combine initiative, discipline and continuous improvement, you will form a 'hard-hitting' trio that will help you to be successful not only in sales, but in life, do you agree?

Discipline is the ability to do what needs to be done, even when you don't feel like it. If you wait for motivation and the will to do the things that need to be done, you'll end up with very poor results. Discipline is norway number dataset keeps you productive and focused even when you don't feel like it.

Jim Collins calls it the 20-Mile March – consistency and constancy are key. People underestimate the power of the basics done with quality and consistency.

In fact, you may know someone who has incredible dreams but has no discipline or consistency whatsoever. It's a combination that will always lead to frustration.

Discipline is not a heavy burden, on the contrary: as Jocko Willink and Jom Rohn said: “Discipline is freedom, it is the bridge that connects goals to results.”

5 habits to help you become a highly disciplined salesperson
Turn discipline into habit:
Discipline is not about infinite willpower. It’s about creating habits that make effort automatic. Like brushing your teeth before bed, which we do without thinking. Start with the small things and build consistency.
Plan in a simple and practical way:
Effective planning doesn’t have to be complicated. Setting aside 10 minutes to set priorities can transform your day. I like to use paper and pen to organize my goals and review what really matters.
Keep up the pace in everything (including prospecting):
Undisciplined salespeople experience ups and downs in prospecting. The secret is to create a steady flow of opportunities, avoiding the desperation that comes when sales are down.
Be present and energized:
Discipline is much more a mental issue than a physical one. Being present during a conversation with a client and transmitting positive energy makes all the difference. When we are distracted or discouraged, the emotional connection suffers. Ask yourself before starting a meeting: “On a scale of 0 to 10, how present am I? On a scale of 0 to 10, how positive is my energy?”
Follow up:
Many salespeople give up too soon. Studies show that B2B sales usually happen after the eighth contact and that most salespeople abandon leads and prospects between the third and fifth contact. There is a gap here that needs to be reviewed and improved. Being disciplined in your follow-up can be the difference between closing or losing a sale.
One of the best references for me regarding DISCIPLINE is Jocko Willink. Here are some of his quotes and thoughts on the subject to finish today:

Discipline is freedom.
When you don't feel like doing something that needs to be done, go ahead and do it. It's not about feeling like it, it's about doing what needs to be done.
Discipline is trust. When people on a team are disciplined, everyone trusts more and good things start to happen naturally.
