How Your Environment Affects Your Success in Sales

Does your surroundings affect your success? Of course it does.

I remember many years ago, my son came to me and said: “Dad, I can’t study in this environment. I need to be there.” Why does this happen? Because there are certain factors that actually will affect your ability to achieve what you want to achieve — whether it’s simple distractions, or just the environment.

So what I’m going to talk about today is your success in sales is highly dependent on the environment that you’re in — whether it’s your direct environment at work, or your indirect environment out of work.

At work, you’re working with colleagues, with your leaders, with your boss or coworkers. How is the environment there? What type of conversations are you having? Are these conversations pulling you up, or are they pushing you down? Are they encouraging, or are they discouraging?

So if you’re not happy, or if there’s any aspect in your life you’re not happy with, don’t blame yourself — look at the environment, look at the people that are forming who you spend your time with. Your health, wealth, or relationships can only be as good as the health, wealth, and relationships of the five people you spend your time with.

So the environment is key. Your environment is key today. What must you change about your environment in order for you to get more of the things that you want to have, that you want to get?

A few things you can do: you can choose what to put in your environment. You can choose the people you want to spend time with. At the bare minimum, you can choose the books you read, you can choose the audio programs you listen to. You can choose, through discipline, to do the things you know you should be doing when you should do them, so that you can achieve the things that you really want to achieve.

So until next time, choose your environment wisely. Sell more, sell faster, and profitably.
