Most people rather be dead than move out of their comfort zone. While there is nothing wrong with comfort zones in order to expand our cold calling skills and succeed in sales we sometimes have to move out of our comfort zone and into unfamiliar territory. The first step is to break away from old and rusty sales habits that we have build up over time Make a list of everything that you want to do or improve on in your sales career what you'd like to accomplish, the results you want to achieve and how you will go about accomplishing that. When you have determined your goals and objectives you can then take the next step in making them reality.

"The reality is we need to understand that coming out of our comfort zone and feeling uncomfortable is part of the process of the first step to achieving sales success" says Claudine Waskowycz. Some sales people use the discomfort as a reason not break away from old habits. What this means is that they don't achieve their true potential. We must learn to tolerate discomfort in order to grow in the sales industry. Don't avoid success because you think the responsibility might be too much.

She goes on to say, "change is always frightening when we first step out into the unknown, but we can only improve upon ourselves and our lives by meeting and greeting our fears head on and passing through the fear, once we have met it head on we find it isn't so frightening after all. So do something that scares you every week."

Overcoming obstacles and beating the odds. Here are some tips from Claudine in which you can step outside your comfort zone.

•Don't let someone steal your dream. Dreaming about success is great, but there are millions of poor dreamers. Taking action on just one thought or dream can lead to an avalanche of sales. You MUST act on your actions.

•Every sales champion has learned to not only operate out of their comfort zone, but to thrive on continually pushing their sales in directions that take them outside of their comfort zone.

•Expecting no resistance. Many new sales people give up at the first sign of resistance. Sales champions expect resistance - even drive to create it. Success is achieved by breaking through pockets of resistance.

•Create a mindset of a sales champion. Why? Because Ordinary wouldn't be enough for someone who has the mindset of a champion. Champions think like champions. Champions think big. Champions work toward big goals. Champions are focused. Champions are disciplined and oozes great attitude.

Think like true sales Champions and tell yourself day and night that you can and will reach your goals.
