It's time to start viewing yourself as an asset and the solution to their problems. This change in perspective can revolutionize your approach to sales and boost your career.

In this post, I'll share my personal journey of shifting my mindset and how it transformed my sales career. I'll also provide practical tips and advice on how you can do the same. So, let's dive in!

Understanding Your Value

Before we can start viewing ourselves as assets, we first need to understand our value. This involves recognizing the unique skills and expertise we bring to the table and how they can benefit our clients.

Recognizing Your Skills and Expertise

Each one of us has a unique set of skills and expertise that sets us apart. Maybe you're a whiz at understanding complex technical specifications, or perhaps you have a knack for building strong relationships with clients. Whatever your strengths, they are valuable and needed.

When I first started in sales, I often felt like I was imposing on my clients. But over time, I realized that my knowledge and expertise were actually helping them solve their problems. This realization was a game-changer for me.

How Your Skills Benefit Your Clients

Once you recognize your skills, the next step is to understand how they benefit your clients. This involves putting yourself in your clients' shoes and understanding their needs and challenges.

For example, if a potential prospect needs support with a complex technical issue, your technical expertise can provide the solution they need. This is valuable and needed, right?

Shifting Your Mindset

Understanding your value is the first step. The next step is to shift your mindset and start viewing yourself as an asset.

From Interruption to Solution

Instead of seeing yourself as a source of frustration or an interruption to your clients, start viewing yourself as the solution to their problems. This shift in perspective can change the way you approach your sales.

When you view yourself as a solution, you approach your sales as a helpful advisor rather than a begging, needy salesperson. You show up as an expert equipped to answer any question your clients might have, and you take pride in your ability to assist them.

Embracing Your Role as an Asset

Once you start viewing yourself as a solution, the next step is to embrace your role as an asset. This involves owning your skills and expertise and recognizing how much you can contribute in solving problems.

When I started viewing myself as an asset, I noticed a significant boost in my confidence and performance. I was no longer afraid to approach potential prospects because I knew I had something valuable to offer.

Putting It All Together

Shifting your mindset and viewing yourself as an asset can transform your sales career. But it's not something that happens overnight. It requires self-reflection, understanding your value, and embracing your role as an asset.

Reflect on Your Skills and Expertise

Start by reflecting on your skills and expertise. What unique strengths do you bring to the table? How can these strengths benefit your clients? Recognizing your value is the first step towards viewing yourself as an asset.

Don't be afraid to take some time to reflect on this. It's an important step in the process and one that shouldn't be rushed.

Embrace Your Role as an Asset

Once you understand your value, the next step is to embrace your role as an asset. This involves shifting your mindset and viewing yourself as the solution to your clients' problems.

Remember, you're not an interruption or an imposition. You're an asset. You're the solution your clients need. And once you start viewing yourself in this light, you'll approach your sales with a newfound confidence and motivation.

Conclusion

Shifting your mindset and viewing yourself as an asset can revolutionize your sales career. It's not always easy, but the rewards are well worth the effort. So, start today. Recognize your value, shift your mindset, and embrace your role as an asset. You'll be amazed at the difference it can make.
