Why Willingness To Accept Advice Is Key

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

The Whelanator has always been an independent cuss. I've made a sort of specialty out of blazing my own trail. But it wasn't until I began to accept the fact that some people might be smarter than I am that I began to really find gold.

I currently have a guy I am mentoring in the sales business, and we started working together sometime last fall. We had a phone session today, and he had some incredible statistics to share with me.

Since January of this year, he has increased his sales by 100% over last year, and he still has six months to go. He has increased his big ticket sales by 50%, and his closing percentage by 60%. He will increase his personal income from $250,000 to $500,000 by the end of the year.

He is a very happy camper, and I'm going to have to increase my consulting fee, which is always a good thing.

The amazing thing is that we are only 20% into the program I designed for him, and he has had out of this world results.

The one attribute that he has that really stands out is his willingness to accept and implement the advice he receives. He takes one step at a time, implements it, and moves forward.

Then he takes another step, adds it to the first, implements it,and moves forward again. He told me today that most of his prospects now close themselves, and ask him what kind of payments he accepts. They also inquire about what other programs he has, because they clearly see the long term benefits of the relationship.

The whole key to his quantam leap is to accept and implement what I have taught him. When I mastered this simple concept, I made my own quantam leap, and it's been an exhilarating ride.

There are a lot of very smart people out there who are ready, willing, and able to help you. They're not free, but you should spend the money without a second thought. It will come back to you in spades.

From the big saddle,

Jim Whelan
The Chairman of the Board

Hi,

I'm not in a position to afford a "personal consultation" at this point. Can you refer me to a book or article that will get me started?

Thanks,

Andy
