\u201cWithout proper self-evaluation failure is inevitable.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0 – John Wooden<\/h4>\n

Hopefully, self-evaluation is something you do yourself or it\u2019s a process your management team leads you through at least one time a year.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Do you self-evaluate every performance?\u00a0Meaning, after every sales or service call that you make do you consciously ask yourself what you did well or what you could have done better?<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

If you are not doing this now, start!\u00a0Conducting a quick self-evaluation immediately after a call will dramatically improve your overall performance.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Ask yourself, what did I do well? What things did I say, what facts, figures, or stats did I use that had a positive impact on the meeting? Did you complete your desired task for this call?<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Likewise, was there any part of my performance that I wish I could undo?\u00a0Did I spend too much time on small talk? Did I talk too much about our stations and not enough about his\/her business? Did I cut him\/her off? Did I talk too much, period?<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Admitting to yourself that you did something wrong or that you have a flaw is never an easy thing. However, by doing so, it will help you to not repeat them.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

There are hundreds of big and little things that we do on each call.\u00a0By consciously asking yourself and conducting a self-evaluation after each and every call, it will help you better prepare for future meetings and ultimately make you a better salesperson.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
