When I was in sales I listened to some motivational speakers and went to different trainings where the idea of resetting before each sales call was taught. One of the ideas is that you figure out the average commission you receive. If you maintain a 50% closing ratio and your average commission was $250 you figure that each call you run is worth $125. If the call goes bad, the guy is unfriendly or whatever the case you say to yourself - Thanks for the $125, Next! It's a way of seeing each sales call in a positive light and recognizing that there are a certain number of no's in order to get the yes.
Over the last few months we've been going through some things with pops. He has had some challenges and it has been tough. He is home, has been for almost a week. The road of recovery will be long but he is okay. Today was one of those Next kind of days. Turns out that mom is having some challenges that have the doctor concerned. She will be going back in next week for some testing. It is our hope and prayer that there is nothing wrong. Whatever the case we will press forward with steadfastness in Christ and do the very best we can do. Sometimes when we pass through a trial we might find strength as we in faith say, Next! and realize that we have reason to hope and to rejoice.
