Why You Should Laugh Your Way To Better Sales Results
Guest articles > Why You Should Laugh Your Way To Better Sales Results
by: Jeremy J. Ulmer
Is your sales force not producing the results you want and lacking the energy, teamwork, drive, and the attitude that they need to have for great success? Are you a sales professional or sales manager who is carrying around too much
stress, lacking motivation, and not achieving your full potential? If any of
this is true, then listen up. Laughter just might be the solution. You can immediately reduce stress, increase productivity, teamwork, focus and motivation for your entire organization or team with laughter. The bottom line impact from improving all of these factors means better sales
results. As a former director of sales for multiple organizations, I was always
looking for innovative ways to motivate my entire sales force. I wish I had
known about laughter exercises at that time! There has never been a simpler way to bring more laughter into the workplace,
until now. The most powerful and effective way to bring laughter into the
workplace is to hire a certified laughter yoga leader like myself, to conduct a
laughter seminar. Many professionals have experienced the benefits of laughter exercises first
hand, yet laughter seminars are still far from being mainstream. When I have
conducted laughter seminars, it is not uncommon for perceived motivation and
productivity to nearly double, right away. Unbelievable, right? Below are some of the reasons why you should bring a laughter seminar to your
organization or sales team: 1. Reduce Sales StressWhile there are many tools available for stress management, laughter seminars
provide a unique system that helps to reduce physical, mental and emotional
stress at the same time. It works simultaneously both on the body and mind. 2. Improved Sales AttitudesPerformance is connected to attitude, and laughter has the power to change
the attitude and mood within minutes by releasing neuro-peptides from the brain
cells called endorphins. 3. Sales Team Building“People who laugh together, work together” John Cleese, a renowned British comedian, once said during his visit to
Mumbai for a laughter seminar, that laughter is a great connector of people. It
breaks all hierarchies and is a force for democracy. Laughter has the ability to
change the work environment drastically by making people happy and cheerful,
bringing positive mental attitude, and optimism into the sales force. It also
increases communication skills which further help in team building. 4. Sales Innovation and CreativitySome of the most creative people in the world are children. The essence of
laughter exercises is to cultivate childlike playfulness. This playfulness
stimulates the right brain activity which is where the creativity originates.
This helps to generate new ideas and insights about sales challenges and
problems. 5. Increasing Attention Span During Sales Conferences, Sales Training, or New Product TrainingStudies have shown that even after just 30 minutes, the concentration levels
start to decrease. A brief laughter seminar can provide a great energy boost
during a full day of training, meetings or conferences. 6. Positive Sales Force EnvironmentSales job dissatisfaction can compel people to change jobs more frequently
which will affect productivity and profitability. Laughter creates positive
energy and improves communication between people. Studies have shown that
positive emotions are increased while negative emotions are decreased from
laughter. Happier, more balanced employees increases loyalty and commitment. 7. Sales Motivation
