Contrary to popular belief ?FEAR? doesn't mean ?Forget Everything And Run?! But what are you supposed to do when negative thoughts creep in, force you to live in stress, and cancel out peace of mind?
If you're like most sales pros, you'll be tickled pink to know that fear can indeed be conquered. You can greet every single day with a sense of excitement at the thought of having ?confidence on demand? and you can own every prospect that has the good fortune to meet with you!
Bottom line? Conquer fear and you'll come out on top.
Of Course, You Want to Leverage Your Limited Time for Unlimited Dollars:
Selling at the top to million-dollar decision-makers is the strategy you want to master, because senior-level executives focus on business and write big checks. Experience shows you the primary focus of mid-level decision-makers is keeping his/her job.
You have incredibly valuable solutions and services that'll benefit your prospect companies, and your ?message-to-market-match? fits better at the executive level than any other.
Your all-powerful, business-changing message is this, ?I have solutions to reduce your expenses and increase your revenues.? And that message is best matched to executive-level prospects that are doggedly sniffing around for solutions to their rising expenses and plummeting revenues.
Your experience forces you to conclude, ?If I continue to call at low levels where the daily cry is, ?Save my job, spend no money?, you'll continue to hear that annoying phrase ??We get hundreds of calls from people like you.? If you're like your colleagues, this kind of treatment is getting on your last nerve!
Now, I ask you, with this kind of rejection day in and day out, who wouldn't expect feelings of fear to creep in?
You Can Concede Defeat or Recognize a Red Flag When You See One:
Look past what appears to be a dead-end, low-level sales call and find the action steps that'll take you toward your goal. Understand that what appears to be rejection is actually a ?red flag? waving, directing you to call higher. That's where your solutions/services can be understood, valued, and desired, in the big picture scheme of your prospect's profit picture.
If you misread the red flag as bona fide rejection, you'll freeze in fear, and conclude all is lost. This does not have to be your choice! You can take action from an entirely different perspective. Determine to search for ways to get past obstacles to top-level cold calls.
Success Is Reached In Zigzags:
As a successful sales pro, you understand that success rarely comes directly, as a crow flies; that success is reached in zigzags by trying a strategy, running into snags, taking corrective action to get back on course, and moving more directly toward the goal again. Look at a snag not as a dead-end, but as a helpful means to a positive outcome.
We all know that unshackled fear, left to its own devices, takes us down a path that fills us with doubt, insecurity, and feelings of failure. What if you're frozen in fear? Is there hope for you? Can you thaw out and move forward again?
Absolutely, Positively, No Doubt About It?There Is Hope And Promise Of Success:
Your success is dependent on a relatively short list of attitudes and skills that can be learned, exercised, developed, and maintained.
1. Role-play objection overturns with a colleague or your spouse. Lack of confidence comes from lack of skills. This practice-without-pressure will build skills and keep ?fear? from nagging you with the question, ?What do I say when I call for an appointment??
2. Fortify yourself with the written testimonials of your favorite clients, read them when ?fear? brings up thoughts of, ?Why on earth would any executive want to meet with me?? Let the words of your most successful clients be the words that address this little question.
3. Remember, moving forward is hard when you believe the next step will suck the life out of you. Change your belief with a true perspective'F.E.A.R. is simply False Evidence Appearing Real. And that you can handle exceptionally well.
Use these simple tactics to conquer F.E.A.R. and capture profits.

Conquer Fear Of Driving
There are only 3 things you need to know about fear to conquer it... and when you read this, be sure that you take some time to absorb it, because it will blow you away... so get ready for these because when you truly understand what I am writing here, your fears will disolve. Are you ready for this?...:
1. Fear is an emotion about something that we anticipate will happen, but that hasn't actually happened yet.
Think about this, fear is an emotion about something that hasn't even happened yet!
2. Emotions, such as fear, are a creation of the mind and simply put are chemicals in the brain. In other words, they are not even tangible things.
As chemists and quantum physicists have now shown, everything we see is an image that stems from the chemicals that get passed back and forth in the brain on the molecular and atomic level. This means that emotions such as fear are simply chemicals or an illusion so to speak made real by our minds - this means the emotion of fear is actually not real.
3. When connected, as spiritual beings living a human experience, fear doesn't exist and is instead replaced with peace, love, understanding, and divine guidance.
Take some time to reflect on what you have just read.
And if you haven't already let go of fear here is an example of how you could use these three tenets.
We'll use the example of the fear of not having money.
Let's run through these three tenets:
1. Do you have money now? Of course you do or you wouldn't be reading this e-newsletter! Does it mean that you will have money tomorrow, not necessarily, but tomorrow is irrelevant as it is not what you are actually experiencing right now!
2. Since everything we see or think for that matter is created by the mind, the synapses (chemical, biological and neural connections) that are occurring in your brain are relaying the message that you may not have money tomorrow... this means that it is not actually really occurring, but the concept or illusion of it is through chemicals in your brain!
3. In the realm of spirit and connection with the universe and source from which you spring, there is no such thing as lack or poverty! Fear of not having money does not exist anywhere else because it is just an illusion created in your mind. Spirit is infinite and would never fear not having some aspect of itself!
If I were in your shoes, what I would say to myself is the fear of not having money is not real and therefore unfounded. At the same time it is also not actually happening right now, nor is it a truth that the universe even experiences lack. I don't know about you, but that busted apart any fear I have ever had about not having enough money or not having enough security.
Try this out on your own on any fear that you have and let me know how it goes...
The moral of this e-zine is:
Fear is nothing more than an illusion of the mind of something that hasn't even happened yet and it is far more useful to learn how to tap into and trust the divine guidance that exists inside of you that always steers you clear of harms way toward loving, peaceful, and joy-filled experiences and opportunities.
This may be a strong message, but I hope that it has reminded you of your true infinite and unlimited self, within which fear is not real.
Until next time, may you be divinely guided and may you Be-inspired!
Warmly,
Joshua Zuchter
