Can I have some of your enthusiasm, Luke?
My best day is next Thursday; I only work two hours and someone gives me £120.
I wish it was like that everyday; unfortunately it only comes around once, every other month.

Tosh that`s the art of this job and is what should give you drive,once nearly all your work is like that you`ll forget about silly ideas like being a morgage adviser.

Tosh, I started w/c part time when I was selling health insurance (self employed) and selling office printer laser cartridges (self employed).
In 2000 I decided I would have to do one job as I felt I was fiddling about with all three. My Health Insurer (WPA) gave me an ultimatum - shape up or ship out -I shipped out. I lost a huge laser printer supplies contract (on price) to a Police force and handed over my few remaining customers to a friend in the business. I would never go self employed sales again.
I have done double glazing sales in the past too!
My experience of self employed sales is that you get the managers who cream off the "best leads" plus one or two "driven" high flyers and then the rest of the guys faff around in mediocre land because they're fairly bright, think the grass is greener or haven't got a good paying job because of lack of formal higher education/redundancy.
If you want motivation decide you are going to have a day a week like Roy Harding - to do that you need the qualities of a sales person - drive, the ability to handle rejection and focus.
If you're going to sell then sell your wfp services to top end customers and reap the rewards!

Tosh, work on it and you can get alot more of it.
getting motivated is very hard sometimes every window cleaner has been there. I got it after a couple of years just got plain fed up, then the thought of working for someone else made me rethink why I started my own company up in the first place.
chin up m8, or chins up for some ;)

so whats figure of the previous record luke ;D ;D ;D
-
I never talk money ( earnings ) because it either:
1: makes you look like a bragger
2: makes some people think your a liar
3: makes some people think your poor
Just for the record I am none of the above!!!
