Try to determine what you admire in doing your job. The more clearer it is, the more confident you will be in your words and actions. Given that your passion is to be a successful salesperson, what small skills and abilities do you have that you can also cultivate to be even greater?

When you smoothly cross a threshold, while maintaining a positive and confident image of your “do it!” picture, you are reinforcing your commitment. The more you do this, the more confident you will be in reaching your goal.
