Protecting Your Sales Mindset

Do you think about who you allow to give you feedback? In today's show, your host Nikki Rausch will define what a sales mindset is and how to protect it, some things you should think about before allowing someone to give you feedback and much more on this episode of Sales Maven. Nikki discusses the four things she believes everyone should think about before allowing someone to give you feedback, a rule that she has in her house, and a challenge for you around feedback. Nikki shares an example of a time when her idea of being clear of her boundaries was cemented in her mind. Listen, as Nikki speaks about the red flag that should pop up when you hear someone say, "I just thought you should know," a client with a great idea that was treated harshly on social media, and what she does when people send her snarky messages on her website. Remember, you have the option of unsubscribing or blocking anyone who tries to drag you down and mess with your sales mindset. Nikki shares four statements that she says to herself before every call, training and even before she does this podcast; I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad you're here, I know what I know, and I care about you. Wow! These are statements to live by and just think if we take a moment to repeat them to ourselves every day how prepared we would be for whatever comes our way. As usual, Nikki feeds our sales souls and lets us know that she has been there, there probably isn't a scenario she hasn't faced in her years of sales and aren't we glad she takes the time each week to give us ways to move our businesses another step forward.
