Salespeople, like most people who work off of commission and whose paychecks depend on performance, are big goal setters. Whether they are setting goals to increase their sales each week or setting goals to get their newest business endeavors up and off the ground within the year, salespeople are constantly working to achieve higher levels of success. However, even the most focused go-getters can use some tips on setting, reaching, and believing in their goals.

When the time comes to set goals for the future, there are five simple tips that will help you get to where you want to be both professionally and personally. The first one is to understand that you can't achieve your goals on your own and embrace the people in your life who will be of help to you.

Whether it's your customers, your coworkers, or your family, you need the help and support of others to achieve your goals. Once you have come to the understanding that you can't do everything on your own, you will be ready to move forward.



The second tip is to be able to tell the difference between goals that are worth setting and goals that are not. Some examples of goals that are worth setting are goals that make you a better person, such as physical-fitness goals, relaxation goals, work-performance goals, financial goals, and relationship goals.

An example of a healthy goal worth pursuing would be a goal aimed at getting out of debt and experiencing the peace of mind that comes with financial freedom. On the other hand, an example of an unhealthy goal would be a goal of becoming filthy rich. People who pursue wealth in this manner usually drive themselves insane with greed. Focus on goals that promote peace and happiness, and you will do fine.

The third tip is to write your goals down. While this may sound silly, it really does help to be able to visualize your goals. You can also prioritize your goals by listing them in order of importance. This will help keep you organized and focused because you will be able to visualize them in your mind better if you have seen them written down.

The fourth tip is to give each of your goals a deadline. Deadlines help motivate you to work toward your goals when you may feel like slacking off. If you have a deadline by which you must reach a goal, you will be more likely to plan accordingly along the way so that you will achieve that goal by the specified date. Goals without deadlines have a tendency to remain stagnant for years because, in your mind, they aren't priorities and don't have a sense of urgency associated with them.

The fifth and last tip is to reward yourself upon the completion of one of your goals. Whether it's splurging on a venti Frappuccino from Starbucks instead of a tall or going on a vacation to the Caribbean, you need to reward yourself when you reach a goal. Rewards serve as reminders of your hard work and dedication and also as much-needed celebrations. Rewarding yourself for a goal that you reached will make you work harder to achieve the other goals on your list, as well, because you will be working toward more and more rewards.
