Elinor Stutz broke through barriers long before doing so was popular. Against all odds she defied the theme, “women can’t sell” to become the top producer at every company she ever worked all the while ignoring attempts to get her to quit.
Faced with an irreparable broken neck, Stutz paid attention to two visions as they appeared before her while on the stretcher. She negotiated with the Great Beyond with the promise to be of service to communities at large in exchange for full recovery. As the CEO of Smooth Sale, Stutz adapted the motto, “Believe, Become, Empower.” Stutz is a motivational/inspirational speaker, author and sales trainer.

Turn Roadblocks into Sales
Does frustration set in when ignored or told “No”? I find being ignored the most frustrating of the two because it puts communication at a standstill, while being told “No” is usually an easy fix. When you are awaiting a response from someone but it does not come, try a variety of methods for getting in touch. Do your best to not let irritation get in the way; instead use a soft tone to hopefully encourage a response. You might begin with, “I know you are very busy…”

Do you let your intuition and heart guide you?
This is a tough principle to swallow for most hard-core business and salespeople. However, what if you recognized this is the path to attracting your preferred prospects and clients – would you then give it some consideration? Have you ever dealt with someone who was less than an ideal customer? The interaction is far from pleasant. Many associates and I have on occasion fired such clients. Life is far too short to deal with unkind people.

Apologizing brings great results
Long ago a sales manager said to me, “Sometimes you have to fall on your sword.” He was referring to saying the words, “I’m sorry; My error; My apology.” For many, and I’m one who had to learn, these words are difficult. But I quickly realized he was right. Forgiveness comes far more quickly when you are the one to apologize whether on interviews, selling or in your personal relationships. The concept is universal. - On interviews you might misinterpret a question - A product or service you sell may not live up to expectationsr

Do You Realize How Far You Have Come?
Today’s question is, do you occasionally take the time to realize how far you have come? An occasional announcement will stop me in my tracks and have me reflecting on how I got to where I am today.

Are You Achieving Your Purpose?
Do You Realize Your Purpose? The ultimate accomplishment is to realize your purpose. In the early days of entrepreneurship, similar words came my way but were not understood. Most of us are so busy living life, that we merely maintain a running list of small to moderate goals. The achievements feel good for the moment. But the problem is the excitement soon vanishes into a distant memory. As we mature, it’s natural to contemplate why we are here and question our purpose. We become more aware of time being precious and have a growing desire to be of service.

What Is Your Purpose?
As we mature, it’s natural to contemplate why we are here and question our purpose. We become more aware of time being precious and have a growing desire to be of service. As I originally entered the entrepreneurial world, my focus was on moving my business forward. At the time, media interviews provided excitement. Even so, the attention quickly became fond memories and nothing more.

Are You Willing To Listen?
Everyday experiences bring up the question, what aren’t you hearing? The listening piece is about using all of your senses to hear, see, feel, and intuitively contemplate which actions to take next. Sales excellence requires almost a meditative state for analyzing the worst and best actions for moving forward.

Do You Dismiss Varying Ideas?
When we quickly dismiss varying ideas, sales are lost. Planning and client meetings offer opportunities for agreement. The lack of understanding frequently leaves us worse off. Most people miss out on the opportunity to practice negotiation skills. My Story There is a need in business and to open the door to alte ative ideas so that faster and better progress can develop. Not only do we need to work on cultural diversity and inclusion, but generational gaps, too. “Impossible exists if you believe it to exist; otherwise, it does not.

Are Excuses Preventing Growth?
Are Excuses Preventing Growth? Salespeople, entrepreneurs, and management all make excuses preventing growth. And when they experience a downtu in sales, they act puzzled. Asking for help is one of the best remedies for when we encounter difficulty. Seeking help is also one of the better strategies for ensuring success. Most people would rather be known for their errors than seek help. Why is that? The two most popular reasons people prefer making an excuse instead of asking for help are the embarrassment of asking, and fear of leaving the comfort zone.
