“Appetite not interest makes the world go around. Did you know that we are daily led by our priorities, not our interests however varied they may be? We are interested in a lot of things that we do not act on but what brings us satisfaction and a sense of benefit is what we daily gravitate to and gravitate with a purpose. We will move heaven and earth to accomplish something we are passionate about while the things that lead us to yawn, we move away from as quickly as we can.” LifePassionInterestLife Lessons Quotes Author:Chris J.

“Remind yourself that successful salespeople love their product and their company, and they love to sell and prospect. If you don’t have that kind of love on most days and most of every day, then it is time to make a change. Or better yet, re-sign on the dotted line and start over. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a magic carpet ride across the world is pitiful thinking and the kind of reasoning that will keep you poor with a capital “P”.” SuccessPassionPersistenceSales Effectiveness Author:Chris J.

“Be reminded that dreaming and hoping is not the same as scheming and working. Working for the sake of it will not insure you of success but purposeful, meaningful work will help you move the needle towards what you want for you and your family. When is the last time you “sweat” in the process? When is the last time you worked a few hours more than all those in your company? When is “hustle” more to be desired than pacing yourself?” PurposeWorkPersistenceWork Hard Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Make it your aim and decision to slow down enough to enjoy the ride. Be grateful for the small victories. Be mindful of the one’s that will come if you stay faithful in your calling. Stop and smell the roses even though you might be dealing with thorns and thistles in your wake today. Remember, it is never as bad as it seems or as good as it seems. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. But as you take that ONE STEP, breathe it in and be thankful that you are in this place and success and happiness is just over the mountain.” WorkFaithfulness Quotes Author:Chris J. Gregas
“A positive attitude enables you to make a difference in the world around you because when you can see things in a positive light, you help to influence and shape other people's attitude as well. No one wants to be around a pessimist for very long. Our words create worlds and in business this is extremely important to remember. If we do not see the things that we can do than to be sure we will not engage in the things we must do.” PositivePositive AttitudePositive Quotes Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Choose to begin the long but joyful process of centering in on people for where they are not where you want them to be. On what is reality with them not on what your reality is with you. Caring and listening goes a long way in successfully capturing a client and have a life- long client to boot. Let the mantra “Others” be your song that plays repeatedly in the minds and hearts of your audience.” LoveListeningCaring Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Decisions you make today have consequences and a life span. Do not let one hand build up your client base and the other tear it down with sloppy speech or careless living. In the end, it is who we are in the dark that will come out in the light and let us not be found naked before our clientele so that they must run in shame from us. Our decisions today will reverberate into the next decade and beyond. Think long and hard at what you want to do with what you have to offer the masses.” DecisionsDecision MakingConsequences Life Lessons Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Be reminded that every time you furnish yourself with an excuse and believe it, you’re letting your life shrink and shrivel up. Instead of your definition of what’s really impossible growing – it shrinks. Instead of pushing your limits, you’re actively pulling them inward towards yourself. Cease and desist. When you buy into your own excuses, you live a smaller life and severely cheat yourself out of a whole host of experiences you never let yourself have – your excuses literally end up stealing your dream and you end up doing way less than you’re capable of.” SuccessGrowthExcuses Author:Chris J.

“Failure in any arena is not final and it need not be fatal. It is another opportunity to learn something valuable that is going to make you more valuable in the marketplace. Isn’t that really what it’s all about? God never wastes experiences in our lives, and we shouldn’t either. Get back on the horse. He’s waiting to transport you to new worlds.” SuccessFailureFailure And Attitude Author:Chris J. Gregas
“We must remember that SYSTEMS are duplicatable and PEOPLE are not. I cannot hope to build an army of followers if they must be like me. On the other hand, if they have a simple method to follow or a third-party tool to wield, then the chances of duplication and growth in your organization goes up exponentially.” BuildingPeople QuotesDuplication Author:Chris J.

“You cannot change the power of the wind, but you can set your sail in a way that will compel you to your port much more quickly and accurately. Business success is a process. Converting prospects takes time and the continual practice of planting wheat is always a challenge in a world where taking time and exhibiting patience are passing away. It is always a good day to make a change.” ChangeBusiness QuotesPersonal ChangeBusiness Success Quotes Author:Chris J. Gregas
“This too shall pass” is always a great encouragement to the weary traveler. Life is hard. Business building is not for the fainthearted. Prospecting clients on a daily basis is back breaking and thankless and sometimes we wish we could go home late morning and go back to bed. We often ask the question, why do I do what I do. On most days, the answer seems to be convoluted.” Sales AdvicePersistence Business Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Remind yourself that people are watching you. They are observing ever so secretly your attitude and why you do what you’re doing more than what you are doing. At the end of the day, people buy because they believe you, trust you and like you. Notice there is little about the words we craft or the speed we travel. The best gift we could give ourselves is a mirror. Taking a hard look at our attitude and improving it may be the single most important thing we can do to turn a mess into a message.” Self RealizationSelf ReflectionReputation Quotes Author:Chris J.

“Sales and selling, does not have to mimic an episode from the latest MMA event. It is not a wrestling match that we are engaged in. It is a soft but firm persuasion match based on people learning to like us and to feel comfortable with us not just with the product we have. And remember this, our clients want to buy but they do not want to be sold. But they need to be sold on us, that is for certain.” PersuasionSalesSales EffectivenessSales Tips Author:Chris J. Gregas
“Refuse to let the stuff of life tie you down and paralyze you. Do not let your personal problems control your productivity. Focus on what you can do not what you cannot control. Have the confidence to be the exception, the outlier that overcomes all obstacles – someone who is willing to bet on themselves. That’s a winning formula.” ProblemsPersonal IssuesPersonal Responsibility Quotes Author:Chris J. Gregas
