No matter if you're a salesperson, sales manager, or CEO, you'll face problems. They're as inevitable as the sunset. So be prepared to solve difficulties with these tips to enhance your problem-solving ability.
- Anticipate problems. If you keep your attitude positive but plan for the worst, you'll find yourself in a good position to solve problems that come your way.
- Accept the truth. Accept the problem and try to make things better. Face up to the reality of the situation.
- See the big picture. Don't allow yourself to become so bogged down in details that you lose sight of what's important.
- Handle one thing at a time. If you're faced with lots of problems, make sure you really solve the one you're working on before moving to the next step.
- Don't give up a major goal when you're down. Make major decisions when you're experiencing a positive swing, not during the dark time.
