When
Salespeople Talk About You!
by Mr. Cold Call
Did you
hear what Seth did the other day? I
really don't like her at all she doesn't know anything! Joe probably gave her the lead. Diane is just lucky and she probably won't be here
that long anyway!
As
salespeople and even in life we have all encountered people who talk about
us. It's not the most pleasant feeling
in the world when someone makes a negative comment about you or you happen to
hear from someone else who mentioned that a co-worker had such and such to say
about you! There are a few of us who are able
to turn this negative talk on off, but for many us, this is just not possible. How do you handle people who like to talk
behind your back? Below are four practical
suggestions:
Be Aware That Many People Like To Complain
People
complain for two reasons. First, they
have too much time on their hands. The second reason people complain is they
are jealous of you. If you are aware of these two reasons then this will help you to handle situations in which people talk
about you.
Ignore Them And Be Nice
Just
disregard anything they say about you.
People who like to talk about others are usually looking for some type of reply, otherwise why would
they make a comment about you in the first place? Be silent, be nice and ignore what they say
about you. The "Less is More Approach"
is your best solution.
Keep Things Positive Because
Positive Attitudes Are Unstoppable!
There is
nothing more powerful than a positive attitude.
In life and throughout history, no great man or woman has achieved a
historic feat without the presence of a positive attitude. Being aware of this secret weapon will always
put you on top.
Say What You Want Because I Will
Still Be Here When You Leave
When
someone talks about you just say to yourself, "In six months, I will still be
here." Usually people who complain are
not happy people and the probability that they're unhappy with their job is close to 100 percent. What does this mean? This means that you will still be at your job in six months and they probably will
not!
