What Is Sales Revenue? What It Is & How to Calculate It | NetSuite

When I think of the idea of ​​”competition”…I picture two people trying to hit each other and that makes me smile a little…

As for me, I’d rather take control and win than just competing with others

To me ‘competing’ means starting at the same or similar level, I don’t just want to ‘try’ to beat my competition, I want to dominate in my field, I want to make sure I find myself at a higher level than the other competitor, so he doesn’t bother to overtake me.

Measure yourself

“Whoever seeks a better life must first become a better person.” Jim on

The biggest enemy of your improvement, believe it or not, is you.

Whether you are just starting out or you are already at the top of your game, your primary goal should be to improve yourself, to become a better person.

The beauty of our profession is that as we improve, our profits automatically increase, and as our profits increase, our entire existence improves.

Kaizen philosophy

Having practiced karate for years, the idea of ​​’kaizen’ is not new to me.

The Japanese word “Kaizen” means “change for the better”, in the same sense as the English word “improvement”. ( Source )

This Japanese philosophy has been successfully adopted by companies like Toyota to improve their production processes and is based on the idea of ​​incremental improvement: if I try to improve my sales activities by 1% every day, an improvement that may seem almost invisible at first, In just 3 to 6 months I will be making big changes in my career.

Model of excellence

The main mistake of many sellers is to achieve unattainable goals in the shortest possible time and end up being disappointed.

Remember, there’s no limit to what you can achieve, but achieving amazing results, especially when starting from scratch, can take months or years of practice, but there are some good shortcuts…

By far the best strategy for succeeding in any area of ​​life is to find excellent role models, people with years of experience in your field who can save you years of mistakes…

It’s very easy to find great models these days:

Just follow blogs, read books, watch YouTube videos or find friends in your area who want to help you.

Be practical

It is important to have a clear goal related to where you want to be and what you want to achieve.

Do you want to be the number 1 salesperson in your company or the CEO of the entire company?

Start by defining your goals and breaking them down into small “chunks,” for example: Set monthly and daily goals so you can gradually monitor your growth.

Also, make sure to write your daily and monthly goals on your calendar so you can track them.

Here is a list of helpful questions to start your journey:

Who am I competing with?
What can I do to beat my competition?
What are his weaknesses?
What are my strengths?
what are my weaknesses?
Where do I need to improve?
What resources do I need to achieve my goal?

Make sure you find at least 5-10 answers to each question so you have a clear idea of ​​where you are in the process and where you need to go to achieve your goals.

I hope this article will motivate you to excel in your field and become the best that you can be.
