Motivation - What is it?

  • Sales motivation is not an object
  • It can not be passed from me to you
  • No one can give it to you, or take it away from you


Motivation is not something you have.

It's something you do. Think of motivation as a verb, not a noun.

As a sales manger I often heard the cry, I need motivating.

Usually from a salesperson that was reacting negatively to events or situations.

They look to their manager or trainer to motivate them.

My answer is always the same, I can't.

But I can show you how you can motivate yourself


No one else can give you motivation.

Only you can motivate yourself. And the great news is, only you can take that motivation away. Look through these pages and never again will you let others bring you down.

Good sales trainers, and experienced sales managers, can act as a catalyst and show you how to motivate yourself, and how to stay motivated. But sales motivation is created by the actions you take, no one else is responsible for your motivation.



What will sales motivation do for you?

Picture yourself playing from a 10. On a high, feeling great.

You're in the groove, you're buzzing, Motivated, and ready to make full use of your sales skills.

...I feel better already..

My introduction to sales motivation

As a young sales manager working for a cable television and communications provider, I thought I knew everything there was to know about managing sales people.

I thought I had nothing to gain from a 3 day sales motivation training course.

How wrong I was. The course opened my eyes to a world of techniques and skills that I didn't know existed. I had never heard of meta programs, reframing, and how people's actions are influenced. I was hooked.

At the end of the three days I had acquired many new viewpoints, and reframed old ones. My motivation states were mine to control.

I attended many more courses with some of the best presenters on sales motivation, peak performance, NLP sales techniques, and hypnosis in sales communication.

This site is the result of using those techniques over many years as a successfull sales manager and trainer.

On the links here you will find techniques and ideas, for you to use, that work to motivate salespeople, sales managers, small business owners, and sales trainers.

NLP(Neuro Linguistic Progamming) was my starting point for these new and unique sales motivation techniques. To see more on NLP and how you can use it for self motivation, open How to use NLP.
