Take Action Sales Editor
Obeying the Golden Rule is the sign of a positive high self-esteem: “Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.” (The Bible)
The Golden Rule is all about love. "Is love really important in my sales career? Do I really need to love my prospect?" Read on: Love for ourself and love for other people. But how can we truly follow the Golden Rule if we don’t love ourself?

Sales Training: Do You Have Sales Hope?
by Mark Bowser
Sales hope is a little thing that carries big dividends in the sales process. Webster defines hope as, “A desire of some good, accompanied with a belief that it is attainable...” The Bible talks about faith, hope, and love being of tremendous importance with love being the most important. As we can see, hope is a necessary ingredient to being a success at selling and to live an empowered life. When we believe something good is attainable we are more likely to take action to achieve it. Also, our thinking will be right. We will begin to visualize ourselves as successful at selling. We will begin to believe in our dreams. We will begin to see the possibilities of those dreams realized.

Sales Training: Sales Motivation
by Mark Bowser
Sales motivation without direction is dangerous. Sales motivation with positive direction is success!
There is the story of an American soldier by the name of Murphy who was part of an American Tank Unit fighting with the British in the Libyan Campaign. The young G.I. soon found himself and his unit many, many miles deep into the desert. They went days without seeing any action. Boredom set in. One day, the commanding officer of this unit found this young man walking across the sands as if on a mission. The only problem was that the young American was wearing swimming trunks.
The commanding officer shouted, “Murphy! What on earth do you think you are doing and where are you going?”
“Well, sir,” said Murphy. “It is such a nice day and I have a few hours off so I thought I would go for a swim.”
“You must have been out in the sun too long. The ocean is 500 miles away.”
“Boy!” said Murphy. “It’s a beautifully large beach, isn’t it, sir.”
You see my sales friend, of all the problems Murphy may have had, motivation wasn’t one of them. However, he did have a big problem when it came to direction. A friend of mine likes to say that you run into trouble when your mind gets idle.
So, what is your sales answer today? The answer is purpose. If you have a purpose in selling then your motivation will have a positive focus. And, positive focus plus motivation equals success. Grab hold of your sales purpose and your sale motivation will take care of itself.

Sales Training: An idea is the Greatest Sales Investment
By Mark Bowser
Not too many years ago when I was struggling in my life, I heard five powerful words spoken by motivational speaker Les Brown. The words he spoke touched my heart. His words were, “You’ve got greatness within you.” Since the day I heard those words, it has been my understanding that one of the most powerful forces in the universe is a positive idea that is acted upon. I acted upon that idea and my life was ever changed for the better.
How about you? Do you have any good sales ideas stored in your brain that you never bothered to act upon? Well, I challenge you now to pull those sales ideas back out. Dust the cobwebs off the ideas and run with them. TAKE ACTION! You may discover that you can double your sales in a very short time. WOW! What an idea!

Sales Training: Happiness in Selling
by Mark Bowser
Happiness in selling is always created from the inside, not from the outside. Where does happiness come from? Is it given to us? Can we earn it? Happiness is given to us. It is ours for the asking. Happiness is a choice. We decide how happy or unhappy we will be. Wisconsin Odd Fellow wrote a poem titled “Happiness Is Within” which says, “It’s not so much the world outside that makes us laugh or smile; it’s more the thoughts within our hearts that make life seem worthwhile.”
I know a story about an old wise man. This wise man lived in a small town. Every day this man would sit outside the local gas station and watch the cars go by. Every once in a while a car would stop and he would have the opportunity to talk with a neighbor or even a tourist passing through. On this particular day, the old man’s granddaughter joined him at the gas station.
After some time, a car pulled up to the station. A man got out of the car and started to look around. The wise old man did not recognize the stranger and figured he was a tourist. The tourist came up to the older man and asked, “What kind of a town is this? Is it a nice place to live?”
The wise old man looked at the stranger and asked, “What kind of town are you from? Is it a nice place to live?”
The tourist said, “It’s an awful town. Everyone is critical of each other and negative about the future. They gossip all the time too. I am glad to be leaving.”
The old man said, “That’s how it is in this town too.”
After an hour or so, another car drove up. This time it was filled with a family of strangers. The mother jumped out in a hurry with two small children and asked where the restroom was. The old man pointed to a ragged, decrepit sign and the woman thanked him and hurried off with the children.
The father got out and walked up to the wise old man and his granddaughter. He asked, “What kind of town is this?”
The old man asked, “What kind of town are you from?”
The young father looked at the old man and said, “It’s a great town. I wish we didn’t have to leave. Everyone is very close. There is always a friendly hello and smile throughout the day. I feel we are leaving family.”
“That is exactly like this town,” said the old wise man.
After the nice little family had driven away the old man’s granddaughter looked up at her grandfather with a puzzled look and said, “Grandpa, why did you tell the first man this was a terrible town and the second man it was a great town?”
The old man looked down at his beautiful little granddaughter and lovingly said, “Sweetheart, the truth is that people see exactly what they want to see. Our attitude is what makes the difference. The attitude we have determines whether it is an awful or marvelous place in which to live.”
Well, there we have it. We choose whether we are going to live a happy or unhappy life. Are you a happy sales professional? Kind of an interesting question, isn’t it? It was Abraham Lincoln who said, “People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Well, I don’t know about you but I have made up my mind. I’m going to live a happy sales life!
