According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, family-owned businesses account for 90 percent of all businesses in the U.S. (large and small) and continue to be a powerful force.

How Business Can Lessen Their Sales Anxiety - Step 5

by Dave Mattson

For the last couple of months I have written about the stress that small businesses and entrepreneurs face when engaging a customer in a sale, especially if they do not have prior sales experience. Last month we talked about not getting caught up in your emotions during a sales call because this only serves to generate further fear and nervousness. This leads me to our final tip: If you rehearse and refine your sales messages again and again, this will enable you to catch a psychological wind. Once you have a set of sales processes and practices in place you will find that you will start to develop your behaviors and establish routines and milestones. Soon the selling fears that initially paralyzed you will diminish and the selling momentum will start to take shape.
