“Set Realistic Goals.”
In another piece of “Ask Mr. Wonderful” advice, Kevin O’Leary offers a tip for effective salespeople that can apply to success in almost any field: “The salespeople that really succeed are able to set targets…and make them. In other words, don’t set targets you can’t achieve…Know exactly your territory, know what your potential is, and don’t overestimate.” If you know how to set realistic goals, it becomes easier to achieve them on a consistent basis.
