Typically, human beings are not self starters. We all need help, support and motivation in order to change, grow and accomplish our goals. This is why support groups are so successful in overcoming grief and fighting addictions; we are inherently in need of others. So, how can we help ourselves change? How can we assist our subordinates in achieving higher standards? What is the best way to assist our children in growing and maturing? The answer to all these questions is the same, accountability.
Too many aspects of our lives are missing the key ingredient of accountability. Diet, exercise and quitting smoking…when they fail it is often due to a lack of accountability. So, when we think of our careers and selling specifically, we need to have some degree of accountability to create change.
Where do I find accountability? A large part of a successful manager’s role is helping their staff with accountability. Many people can create accountability with co-workers who are also attempting to grow. Others have had success relying on a spouse or good friend to give them accountability. Remember “Accountability, without it, there will be no growth”, if you need help call Sales Concepts at 440-575-7000 to hear about our new accountability tool.
