The ability of a sales professional to believe in what she represents has a direct impact on how others perceive her. When a sales professional buys in to what she represents, that has a direct impact on her sales effectiveness. Studies indicate that successful sales agents have a firm belief in what they do and what they represent.

Knowing why one cares can help you to deal with the negatives associated with sales.

Think about this for a moment. When you believe in something that you do,  your passion for it grows. When your passion grows, then your motivation grows. And, when your motivation grows, your buy-in level is likely to become firm with conviction

The ability of the sales professional or customer service representative to take care of an existing client significantly increases her sales effectiveness with that customer. More than any other single factor, telegraphing and sharing your buy-in energy will help you to connect with the customer.

“Why do I care?” is a question of passion, motivation, and conviction! The sales professional must understand the “why” of what she represents and the “why” of her own buy-in, before she can be expected to represent her company enthusiastically to the world. It’s important to understand your unique buy-in reasons and learn how to share them with the world.
