A lot was being said of the NY Yankees and how they have conquered their losing streak with several walk-off wins in close games.
I was listening to one of the announcers who said that typically, the team that gets a hit usually wins the game. It does something for confidence for the team. You can see it when the the next up gets on base. Success builds success.
That’s why, when I worked the retail floor many years ago, I was the first one to make a sale.
I had to prove it to myself each day that I could do it.
That’s my short post for you today – to challenge you to make the first sale of the day. Not greet the first customer but make the first sale.
Maybe that means you have to wait on several people until you make it but the lesson and example to your crew is better than any book they could read, video they could watch or podcast they could listen to.
Seeing you being a success makes it much harder to stand behind a counter and groan, “No one’s buying.”
If anyone is serious about leading their team, this is the one thing that must be practiced daily. This kind of leadership will have positive ripple effects throughout your team. I always found that it was easier getting my people to do things if I did it first. Making that first sale of the day is what starts great days in retailing.
