I have heard the debate many times about what is harder; mental or physical labor. I spent the weekend laying tile in my laundry room-by myself. Now, to an experienced tile layer this would have been an easy job, no doubt. However, this was my first time and I taught myself as I went.
I am finished now and I have to say my body is tired. My back hurts from bending, I am covered with dust and one of my favorite pair of jeans is most likely ruined-(my fault for not putting on old clothes I know better).
However, having said that I feel accomplished. I feel that my sweat and labor produced a beautiful end result! So, what does this have to do with sales? Well, here is the thing about sales...you can work your but off, pounding the phone, sending out emails, and marketing your product. However, at the end of the day it doesn't always yield a sale. It may be days, weeks or months before that tiny seed you planted turns into a sale. Sales area never ending process and like marketing, sometimes you never know when that seed will turn into a plant.
So remember this next time you have spent your entire day marketing and selling and at 5:00 you have nothing to show for it-other than being mentally drained. The seeds that you are planting today will eventually turn into a plant thru a sale or even a referral. So keep planting those seeds!
