The Law Of Attraction Sales Warrior - At the Coal Face

I’ve been banging on for the last 8 weeks about LOA and sales and I’ve probably been boring you to tears. So I’ve decided to take a different approach today. I am going to tell you about my day at work yesterday. Hence the new title! I arrived at work after my usual stop at the nearby park to meditate for 20 minutes and was feeling positive energy as a result, although I was a little concerned as I hadn’t as much sleep as normal, as I had got caught in a poker game in Facebook (no money, just points) which I have become addicted to. When I awoke this morning and I had a strong flash, “no more trying, just allowing” which I had made note of and intended to observe for the day. What this meant to me was to let go. Let life flow instead of trying to make LOA work, which is where I often seem to end up. I was also mindful of a quote from a Blog by Just-Sandy. “Abundance is about lovingly accepting WHO and WHERE you are IN THIS MOMENT. It is focusing on all that you have and not losing yourself in all that you don’t have. Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress- IF YOU LOOK FOR IT.” And so when I arrived at my desk I took moment to be thankful for I where was and what I had in this moment. For those who don’t know, I work in a large electrical appliance retail store, spending my day talking fridges, washing machines, fridges and other things to customer. Alot of the time it is enjoyable and I find I find it a lot less stressful than my previous jobs. The store has had its moments since the Global Financial Collapse with trade varying between almost not existent to very good, but I have found the more positive I am the, the better I do. That is, don’t get bogged down in other people’s winging and whining about the lack of customers. It was a slow start to the day and so I did the exciting chores like cleaning all the stock. But the lack of customers in the store was hard not to notice, especially when one of my colleagues noted that there were no customers in the store. I checked what I was feeling and I was calm and noted that customers often come later in the day and this was not the time to get panicky. I checked my folder of current orders to ensure they were all up to date and came across an invoice from one of my recent sales which was of high value. I remembered the feeling I had when I made this sale and it was good. So I decided to look through some of my recent top sales. Each time I noted the joyful feeling that came from making the sale. Now I was feeling very good. About ten minutes later I turned around from checking stock on my computer and there was a customer with the cutest little girl running amok amongst the washing machines. A dryer. “Wants it today. Can we negotiate a price. Yep. Done!” There’s that god feeling of success. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” I had been hoping to have lunch around this time and so after letting my colleague know I was going for lunch I headed toward the lunchroom to get my stuff because I thought I would go and enjoy the sunshine outside. But oh darn. There’s a couple looking at fridges which I have topass on the way to the lunchroom. “Hi. Want some help? Yep.” A nice couple looking for a new fridge for their family of seven! Firstly we start looking at fridges that will fit in the current space they have. Price around $2000. But no they’re not keen. “Can we look at something bigger?” Now we’re at around the $3000 price mark. Things are looking good! Nice but not over enthused. “What are these Liebherr fridges? Liebherr make cranes don’t they?” The husband asks. “Yep. And components for the Airbus A380. The Mercedes Benz of fridges.” I said noting that we’re now in the $7000+ price range. “Nice!” I thought. “But let’s not get ahead of myself. They’re only looking. Stay in the moment.” By now the husband was lovingly stroking what is by my own admission a pretty awesome fridge. That is if fridges can be awesome. “Move a couple of cupboards?” He asks the wife. She nods. “Not a problem he says.” Once again lovingly stroking it as I go over more of the features. “A brochure?” “Sure.” I said. He heads off for a smoke outside as the wife asks me about what we can do on the price. “Rats!” I thought. A brochure means not buying today but I dutifully go and get one and give the wife a ballpark for the price and she wanders off to look at ovens. Shortly he comes back. “Price.” “Yep. Can we do better?” “Order today? Deposit?” “No worries!” Soon, we are at my desk doing the invoice. “Look. You finish that with the wife. Need a TV. Going to look for a TV and DVD player. See you over there.” “Fantastic!” To cut along story short we end up with $8500 in sales and me getting lunch at 3-45pm in the afternoon. But who cares. $9000 for the day, (budget is $4000 per day) on a quiet day in the store. I’ll take that any day of the week! And so it goes with the LOA. When you are in alignment amazing things happen. Out of the blue great sales arrive. Easy high value sales. It is almost unbelievable and the feeling is great. I must say that recently I have been focusing on how I see myself as a sales person. I was the middle guy. Above average, solid and reliable sales person. But not spectacular. I realised that I had made a law for myself. I wasn’t a star. That was for other people. Now I say, “Why not? I can be great!” I now actively see myself with sales in league with the top 2 sales people in the store. I have also been remembering how I felt in my previous job where I was in the top 2. It seems to be working. I am 78% of my budget with 9 selling days to go for the month and looking good!
