As any salesperson knows, motivation comes and goes.

We have times when we’re laser-focused and feel the determination in us, which makes us believe we will close every client.

And on other days, we feel insecure and don’t even have a mood to pick up the phone.

Usually, salespeople meet plenty of rejection daily but if they are not in the right mindset it’s likely to take things personally. And as you know, getting angry with your prospects is never a good approach.

The good news is EVERYONE has such days, even the top dogs in sales. But high achievers have a secret in their minds.

They know that there will be bad days as well

…and they are prepared for them!

What’s their preparation?

• They truly believe in their abilities, in their products, and in themselves in general.

We know that sounds vague but think for a moment.

If you truly believe in yourself and you have absolute faith in the usefulness of your product/service, then whether you are going to have a problem selling it?

Whether you are going to have a problem to HELP people who really need your solution?

• People who have made it to the top have inspiring beliefs, which helps them to switch on their hustle mode again, and again, and again. In the long run that’s one of the essential things.

So the question is – How we can find the inspiration to climb out of the sales motivation slumps?

There are many ways but today we're going to focus on inspirational sales quotes.

They will help you to get and keep the right frame of mind and to strengthen helpful inspiring beliefs.

So, if your goal is to get back on your feet and start closing like a pro, just keep reading!
