The most common reasons why employees are not motivated are:

* Lack of confidence
* Worry
* Negative opinions
* A feeling of “no future here”
* Feeling unimportant
* Not knowing what is going on
* False recognition
* Lack of training

If you understand what motivates people, you have at your command the most powerful tool for dealing with them.

The foundation of all motivation is hope

Hope is therefore a criterion for people to be motivated. It is the cause for the effect, the fuel that drives the engine. Without hope, no person could ever be motivated. A motivate talks about the future, what to recognize and turn opportunities into success.

A motivated person is what one could easily describe as a positive person. That is, showing the characteristics of an attitude that is:

* Positive
* Motivated by a purpose
* Expecting to succeed

This in turn generates energy. Motivated people seem to have an abundance of this. You have heard the expression: “If you want something done, ask a busy person.“

The laws of motivation

1. We have to be motivated to motivate
2. Motivation requires a goal
3. Motivation, once established never lasts
4. Motivation requires recognition

One thing that a good sales training speaker will be able to teach your staff is how powerful repetition can be for a sales staff. This might be something that most sales training programs ignore, but the fact of the matter is that the more something is repeated, the more effective it becomes. The thing about this repetition, however, is that the sales staff cannot allow it to become boring, as this is when it loses its effectiveness.

A major problem that quality salespeople run into is that they are unable to close a sale, even if they have done a great job throughout the selling process. This is because these individuals do not have the proper sales force training, as this training will provide them with the skills that they need to close the deal. The bottom line is that very few people will return after they leave, so closing the deal right away is one of the most important sales techniques an individual will ever learn.
