The first half of November has been a gloomy month that has affected humanity.

The world has been hit with countless disasters in November:

12th  – Lebanon – Beirut Suicide bombings killed 43 people in Lebanon

13th – Japan – Tsunami hits Japan after a 7.0 Richter scale earthquake off the Japanese coast

13th – France – Multiple attacks on Paris that left 129 people killed in the brutal attacks, 89 perished during a hostage situation, leaving 352 injured and 99 critically injured.

14th – Kenya – 147 people, mostly students killed in an assault on a University in North-Eastern Kenya

On-going – Palestine, and Syria conflict forcing their citizens out of the country with the countless exchange of bombs.

With a number of disasters affecting each individual country, here at Sales Ninja, we offer our condolences to friends and families that have been affected during this time of uncertainty.

Uncertainty can come in different forms; economic, social, political crises. Malaysia too has its uncertainties. the ongoing economic plunge, political jitters, and a massive capital outflow following the drop in crude oil prices that drowned the ringgit to its 17-year low.

The terrible economy has caused a number of sectors in Malaysia such as banking, oil, and gas that will see at least 20% of its workforce being cut!

This will create a chain effect that bundles together job uncertainties, weakening the spending power of consumers, businesses threaten the livelihood of a seller.

In this dire situation, there is still something that we can do apart from praying.

Leaders are not born, they are made

When disaster struck, the first thing that gets tested is leadership. After all, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

In a sales situation, when all is not going well, you need a leader that will be able to lead you to overcome any uncertainties to the sales team.

Leaders are not born they are made. Leaders built up the team and reach the top together. Learning the ancient warrior martial arts practiced by the Ninjas.

A positive mind-set brings in a positive outcome

When disaster struck, we lose our moral,  the will to get through each day, our mind changes negatively.

For the grief-stricken, we have to be strong for them and carry on living for them. We cannot let this affect our mindset negatively.

In any sales situation, your team might feel down when they have not met their sales target or the competitors has outsmarted them. How are we going to motivate and change their mindset to make them believe that amidst all the bad things that occurred to them? Positive thinking can change their outcome.

Bring them to a highly unique and challenging sales motivation training that is designed to toughen the minds and spirits of sales warriors that are facing the current demanding market environment.

United we stand

We see scores of Facebook profiles changing their profile picture with the French flag, while the Eiffel tower lights went out, monuments all over the world start to light up in blue, white, and red paying their respects to the ones that lost their lives in this brutal attacks.

Those united lights from different races, cultures, and backgrounds brighten the gloomy days and gave hope to all.

The world unites together in one spirit, instead of thinking individually the team thinks as a team. When we unite together, great things happen.

Team building exercise can help to forge bonds and foster teamwork to tackle anything together, especially in this stressful situation, when they try to break you down, you just need to unite with your team get back up stronger and bigger than before.
