Show up and sometimes its all that matters

How many times have we seen applicants, or even new employees not showing up early on.  It is important that you show up:

1.  for your work;

2. appointments especially sales appointment, delivery dates

3.  for your class

From Wendy Weiss:

Eighty Percent of Success is Showing Up

By Wendy Weiss, The Queen of Cold Calling™

Woody Allen said, "Eighty percent of success is showing up." 
Last week I went to take a dance class. My favorite teacher was back in town for a short time and I was thrilled and ready to dance! This teacher is incredibly talented, an excellent dancer, good choreographer and her class is high energy and fun. 
I rearranged my entire schedule to be there. So did a number of her students. One cut short her vacation to get on a plane and fly back. Another rearranged her work schedule, going in to work at 4:00 a.m. in order to be done in time. 
The class never happened. My favorite teacher called in "sick" at the last minute. 
When she taught regularly in New York City this teacher had a habit of canceling classes at the last minute. She'd been gone for six months and was scheduled to teach only four classes in New York City. She only taught the first class. She called in sick for the rest. 
I'll never again rearrange my day to take her class. I know several other dancers who also will never again rearrange their days for her and even more dancers who will simply never take her class again. 
I was raised on the old show business adage, "The show must go on." It has served me well. As a young dancer it was drilled into my head that the audience didn't care how I felt. They were there to see me dance. They'd paid a lot of money to see me dance and it was my responsibility to be at my best, no matter how I felt. 
While that "nobody cares how you feel" message may not be the best message for a child, in business and in sales it's the truth. 
Your prospects and customers want what they want when they want it. It is your job to deliver. If you do not, they will find another source. 
The first rule of prospecting and selling: Show up. 
Most sales are made between the 7th and 12th contact with a prospect. Most sales people stop at about three to four contacts. All you have to do to sell more is show up a few more times. 
Want to build trust and rapport? Show up. Keep showing up. Do what you say you're going to do when you say you're going to do it. No excuses. Prospects and customers like and trust people who do what they say they're going to do, when they say they're going to do it. 
Want to close the sale? Show up and ask for the order. If you do not get the order that time, show up and ask again. 
It doesn't matter how smart you are. It doesn't matter how talented you are. It doesn't matter how great your product is. If you don't show up, nothing else counts.
If you or members of your team need to be scheduling more meetings with qualified decision-makers, the next Prospecting Mastery live group mentoring program starts on Monday, June 1. Enroll today to take advantage of the Early Bird discount.
