How To Be A Sales Rain-Maker


Rain-Makers are a rare breed.

Rare in their thinking.

Rare in characteristics.

They achieve results that others can only dream of.

And they never give in.

 A Rain-maker is someone that always brings in the deals - no matter what.


I've lost count of the number of times I've heard the following statements;

'but it can be really difficult to get to speak with the relevant person or decision maker.'

'but this is Nigeria. It can't work.'

'the targets are too unrealistic..'

'but what if......'

These are phrases that Rain-makers never use.

Why?

Because failing is not an option, excuses don't exist.

Rain-makers set themselves targets and ensure that they achieve them - no matter what.

Below are ten characteristics of Rain-makers

1. They have a clear Vision of where they are going

2. They have a Passion For their business

3. An unquenchable desire for success

4. Excellent rapport building skills

5. Ability to think outside the box

6. Determination and Perseverance

7. Courage - to achieve the seemingly insurmountable; and to approach the seemingly unapproachable.

8. Confidence in their own ability

9. Diligence in everything they do

10. A culture of Hard Work and Discipline - they're often working whilst everyone else is resting or playing.

Over 90% of Nigerians want to own their own business one day.

If you want to build a successful business, then it's important you develop all the above characteristics.
