Fundamentals of Success
Successful Wellness Advocates build key habits within a framework of three main elements: mindset—the way you think, skillset—the actions you take, and toolset—the systems and tools you use. Top-producing salespeople achieve success by focusing on these fundamentals.
Cultivate the Fundamentals of Success yourself and accelerate your business growth. As you establish a positive mindset, professional skillset, and proven toolset, you will see key habits form. Developing these critical habits takes time, so stay with it.
Mindset
Selling is a mindset and requires confidence—in yourself and the product. At the beginning of this guide you did the exercise “Know Why You Are Selling.” Review this often to remember the difference that you can make in other people’s lives and why you want to offer that change. A positive and confident mindset naturally leads to more successful sales and helps strengthen key habits.
Self-motivation is a key element of correct mindset. Find ways to keep yourself motivated when things get difficult or your confidence has been shaken. For example, call your mentor, review your vision board, or watch an inspirational video—whatever helps. Feelings of discouragement are unavoidable in sales, so it is important to have strategies in place to keep your spirits high and yourself focused when challenges inevitably arise.
Key Mindset Habits
Check off each habit when you have implemented it.
Accountability—understand that you are responsible for your success and do not make excuses.
Coachability—be open to feedback and take advice from others.
Vision—know what you want to accomplish and why.
Perseverance—do not take "no" personally, but recognize that building a relationship takes time and most sales happen after multiple contacts.
Positivity—express gratitude for quality products, a company you can stand behind, and your team members—no matter their level of engagement.
Graciousness—be kind to yourself and others; meet your customers and builders where they are.
Skillset
Successful Wellness Advocates have diverse talents and strengths; however, there are important sales skills that they have in common. Becoming successful is, in large part, a process of keeping yourself disciplined. Being in business for yourself requires a high level of self-management. Set goals to stay focused and make a schedule for yourself.
