Attract Sales With The Law Of Attraction
I would like to share some great experiences I had this week. I work for a large electrical retailer as a sales executive. For the past two years it has been my “lab” where I have worked and explored using the Law of Attraction to create sales. Sales is an ideal environment to learn about the Law of Attraction, as the difference between a top salesperson and a broker is also something intangible. Is it technique, focus, attitude, persistence, or some other attribute or a combination of several attributes? That’s why there are so many courses, books, and techniques that claim to have the golden answer to a brilliant sales career. Success can be allusive but also very rewarding. Observations I’ve made suggest to me that attitude or mental focus has an important role to play, as top guns often have a strong desire to succeed and a high level of confidence.
Personally, not being overly endowed with confidence or ambition, I decided about 2 years ago to deliberately try to create sales using the principles of the Law of Attraction, to help me generate a high level of sales. Little by little I have made steady progress, leading up to the last few days, which makes me feel confident that I am at a point where I will be able to consistently create high levels of performance.
Life in the store has been difficult for the last 6 months as the company went into receivership and was eventually sold to an old competitor and now things are starting to look up. Last month I had a bad month because I had succumbed to a high level of negativity that was around the store. So now I’m looking for improved performance and it was rewarding this week to achieve that. My daily goal is around $4000 and it was great that I made some good sales on Wednesday for $6000 and Thursday for $4000. Today’s retail environment is very competitive and it has often felt like a struggle to make sales. Low prices, hard bargaining, and die-hard customers are challenges we must face. But not in these two days it’s just been so easy.
“How are you? Do you want this refrigerator? Price. Sure.” Made!
“I want this advertised cooking package. Sure. When do I want it?” Made!
“Can I match this price at another store? No problem.” Made!
And so it went on. Just about every time I spoke to a customer I got a sale and considering the slow customer traffic of the day my results were very good. This is so different from how it’s been recently, that it just felt so much struggle. Then came Friday!
It was the last day of the 11th day in a row that I had worked, so it was hard not to think of myself in survival mode. “Get through this day and then I’ll have a weekend off!” Instead, I focused on the things I’d been doing earlier in the week and later. Wow! What trip.
I’m going downstairs to put something in my locker and there’s a couple looking at a refrigerator.
“Would you like some help? That one. Sure Oh, you’ve bought from me before. Thanks! Price? Ok. When?” Made!
Later, I had just finished having a cup of coffee when I ran into a guy who was looking at the oven in particular.
“Best price? Can’t do it. Still want it? Ok.” Made!
Then, as I was walking back to my desk, my boss asked me to help a lady.
“Want this one? Best price? Sure. How about $x Yes.” Made!
I was feeling pretty good by now and was thinking about rewarding myself with lunch when a couple came around the corner. miele washing machines? follow me You also want a dryer. Sure. Twenty minutes later I had written $10,000 in two hours when in recent times this has taken me a whole week! It was magical!
There have been previous occasions where I have experienced this situation. It’s like being in the “zone” of top notch sales performance effortlessly and the only explanation I can offer is that I have now achieved vibrational alignment. It’s easy, stimulating and fun!
The problem has been that I have been erratic. I have allowed myself to be overwhelmed by negative feelings and overly concerned with the performance of others. This time it seems that I have been able to align my vibrations, even when others around me have been negative about the possibility of making good sales. I was deliberately creating!
My sales strategy.
The whole general concept when deliberately creating sales is:
“There is enough for everyone.” Avraham Hicks.
Normal sales strategies are driven by the concept of lack. You have to compete with others and hunt down clients, going for the kill with fancy closings and slick sales routines. Harnessing the Law of Attraction to create sales is very different. It’s about asking. About aligning and tuning into your vibrations and focusing on feeling positive and open so that we can receive.
So here is my strategy, which you can implement to create sales.
Beginning of the days: Being free of negativity, fear and resistance.
My preferred method is to stop in a park on the way to work and meditate for about 20 minutes, but a morning gym or jog, or even something like tai chi or yoga, can also be effective in relieving stress and bringing calm. . .
Before you start working: Use the first step of the Three Phases of Creation.
“I intend to excel at my job.”
“I intend to be calm and confident.”
“I intend to have a great day.”
Feel the things that it would bring to excel in your job. Feel what this would be like.
During the day:
Control your feelings and “tune” your vibration.
Salespeople can be susceptible to limiting thoughts.
“Times are hard.”
“It’s going to be quiet.”
“Nothing else is going to happen today.”
“I never make big sales.”
“Other people always get the good customers.”
The classic is: “They will not buy.” Then 20 minutes later, you see customers paying for the products at the checkout. You just thought you were out of a sale!
You need to be aware of these thoughts and once you notice them, you will be surprised how many of these thoughts there are and how often they appear. Replace them with the second step of the Three Phases of Creation:
“I hope to make big sales.”
“I expect a good flow of customers.”
“I hope to excel at being prosperous.”
“I hope I have a great day.”
The goal is to maintain a positive, upbeat, and optimistic sentiment.
“Nothing is more important than feeling good.” Avraham Hicks.
You don’t need to have sales and success at the forefront of your thoughts all day. I’ve found that when I maintain a positive optimistic stance is when things come out of nowhere like magic. You should be feeling positive, optimistic, and really good. This is when I find that I approach a client quite benignly and hit… There’s a $5000 sale!
negativity and resistance
I often suffer from lingering negative feelings, which I find very difficult to shake, and have ruined entire days and even weeks, because I am trapped in this pit of negativity. I recently discovered “The Sedona Method” which has proven to be very successful in alleviating this situation.
In short, “The Sedona Method” is a simple sequence of questions that are very effective at moving persistent negative thoughts and feelings. It’s amazing how something so simple can be so effective.
The Sedona Method, in its most basic form:
1) Start by finally becoming aware of the moment.
2) Become aware of the thought you are having.
3) Notice where you feel it on your body, if you can’t feel it, don’t worry.
4) Start to wonder if you could afford to let it go. “COULD I let go of this thought/feeling/____?”
So answer yourself.
5) Next, ask yourself “If I could, would I let go of this thought/feeling/____?”
Then answer.
6) Next, ask yourself “When?” and then answer yourself.
Maintaining a positive feeling within yourself is so important that “The Sedona Method” is an extremely useful tool. It will help you maintain that positive buoyancy that we are looking for.

Hale Dwoskin is one of the best known teachers of the Sedona Method and it is interesting that early in his life, when he was learning about the “Sedona Method” from its developer, Lester Levenson, he was involved in real estate sales with his father and brother. One day, Hale had a phone conversation with Lester.
He simply said: “Bank on the bank, not on your head.” Without me saying anything about it, she had picked up on a tendency that I and most people in the sales profession have, which is “head benching.” He was so busy imagining how great it was going to be when he closed every deal that he was neglecting to actually close them. As soon as I started pitching instead of fantasizing, we started closing a lot more deals.’
This is an important point because “head banking” is something I’ve been guilty of and I found that when I fell for this practice, the sale I was banking on in my head would collapse, leaving me bewildered and frustrated. being out of stock, the customer’s credit card would not work, the customer’s children would start crying and they would have to leave. . These days I remind myself that I don’t have a sale until payment is made. I also recite “thank you” in my head as a sign of gratitude. You can also use the Sedona release as a way to combat “head bench”.
You will find an improvement in your performance if you follow these steps.
Later in the day.
As the day progresses and we maintain our feeling of optimistic optimism, we can move on to the third step of the “Three Phases of Creation.”
“I am abundant.”
“I am prosperous.”
“I’m making great sales.”
“I’m having a great day.”
These statements focus on being open to receive, the final and most important step in creating sales. As the sales flow, these statements will support and enhance our vibrational alignment and you should move on to these statements when it feels natural or appropriate.
Thank you.
Finally at the end of the day we must give thanks for what we have received. As you walk to your car or sit at the traffic light, a couple of quick “thanks” will end the day nicely.
I know it’s a different approach than most marketers do, but I’m sure you’ll find, as I did, that the results can be magical.
Happy selling!
