Dealing with negatives and setbacks

So here is the first of many NLP sales motivation techniques that will be added to the website.

As sales people we are always being told by trainers and managers, that we have to get over bad experiences. We have to deal with rejections, setbacks, mistakes, complaints, being let down, and all those negatives that make up our sales week.

...That’s easy for them to say, but how often does anyone give us the tools to do that?..

Now I offer you the technique I give my sales teams, and my private clients, on how to use NLP to get rid of the negative effects of bad experiences.

Get into that quiet state

Get somewhere you won’t be disturbed.

...I usually do this straight after a difficult sales call or meeting. There is no way I'm going to let one past experience, or someone else's viewpoint hold me back for the rest of teh day..

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and start to see the end of the experience. Hold that final frame of the end of the meeting or sales call. Do it as if you had run a video of the situation and stopped it right at the final frame.

...Yes, I know, if this sort of exercise is new to you it will feel uncomfortable, but so did walking once and you didn't give up on that did you..

Re-frame the picture

As you look at the picture start to drain any colour from it.

We all see internal pictures differently. Their will be something about the picture that makes it stand out from a memory of a good experience. Often this is in proportion to the bad feelings we get from the pictures.

This is how to use NLP for making changes to your feelings about the past. Whatever stands out, such as colour or definition, tone it right down. Even if it’s already black and white, drain the colour so it becomes grey.

Now move it by making it funny

Rewind your internal video of the experience at a faster than normal speed and watch the whole thing in reverse.

There is something funny about watching people going backwards on a film. See them eat their own words, hear the sounds in reverse, and watch the funny walks as they go backwards at speed. You just can’t take the people in the internal moving pictures seriously anymore, including you.

When you’ve reached the start of the internal film, start playing it forwards. Still at a faster than normal speed. Now you’re the director, and you can make it as funny and ridiculous as you like. Dress up the people in the film, yes including you.

...Undress them if that makes you laugh..

Add some of your own color. Red noses, clown shoes, wobbly legs, have some fun, play it forward, add some circus music, and try not to laugh as much as you can.

How do you feel now about that experience

If you have learned how to use NLP to deal with the effect of past experiences, you should now feel completely different about the past experience that you used to see as negative.

You will have re-framed your viewpoint and scratched the past false feelings from your memory banks.

In sales you could be facing the same experiences many times each week.

Rejection, problems, your boss, difficult customers, let down by other people. Now you can take away the negative impact of those situations. You understand the importance of motivation, and now you have a tool to delete the future effects of any situation.

Now make it positive

The final step of how to use NLP to deal with the false negatives of past experience.

Start your internal pictures. See yourself going into the a similar situation in the future. Perhaps with the same buyer or attending the same regular meeting.

Run the film at normal speed. Use a slower speed if you want to highlight the positives.

...Like they do in the movies when the action hero moves in slow motion..

You are fully in control of the pictures and all aspects of directing viewpoint, lighting, sound, and script.

Make this the best you have ever done. With everything that is positive in your film you get a massive burst of positive feeling. A wave of confidence, a glow of success. Take your time, make the scenes exactly as you want them to happen.

Now go to your next sales call with those same feelings of motivation and confidence working for you.

The more you use this self motivation technique the more effective, and quick acting it becomes.

It will feel uncomfortable at first but stick at it,the results and rewards are worth it.

You might find your new found motivation is contagious.

A good test to see how you are changing and your self motivation is growing, is to watch the reaction of others.

See if your colleagues, and your friends and family, notice a difference in how you deal with setbacks.

It will start with comments or questions about what's cheered you up today. Then they want to know more.

You'll find that you have more energy as negatives don't wear you down.

When the techniques are working things just click and and you feel motivated and confident.

Ask a question that will help you with self motivation, motivating your sales team, and achieving your goals and objectives.
