"Those who make excuses are seldom good at making anything else." Benjamin Franklin

Yesterday I was working with our newest sales rep. She told me that she was the only person in her department that hadn't made a sale in a particular special section. I reminded her that she had only been with us for less than 2 months. She immediately shot back "That's no excuse!" I am sure that this young woman is destined for success. She refused to make an excuse for her failure or to blame external factors. Taking full responsibility for their own actions is a hallmark of all successful people.When the blame lies outside ourselves we can do nothing but endure, when we accept blame, the solution for the problem also lies withing our hands. Accepting responsibility opens the door for sell improvement and growth. By the way, she sold an ad into the section by the end of the day.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
