John 15:11 

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

Christian Based Selling:

​As professional sales people, we live with a great deal of stress and are often in high pressure situations.  The pedulum swing of our emotions is extreme if we allow our circumstances to control our mental state.   We can get too high when our deals are closing and too low when they are not.  

Our mental state has a direct impact on how we show up in prospective client meetings.  For example, we may be leading a must win deal for our company.  If we allow the pressure to enter our mindset (or that of the teams') we  may say things in the prospective client meeting that will negatively impact our chances to win the deal.

When our joy in life is centered on the Lord, we are able to maintain grace under pressure.  Rather than get caught up in the anxiety of the situation our focus is on being in the experience.  When we are having fun our mind is clear of anxiety and fear.  We are able to read the room and lead our team to the best of our abilities.

Is your mental outlook tied to your professional circumstances?
