If you are in marketing and sales we have all had those days that make us want to crawl into bed and turn the lights off as soon as we get home from work. Maybe we have spent the afternoon dealing with an angry client, have prospects dodging our calls, or got yelled at by the boss. Finding a way to recharge in the evening and face the next day optimistically can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are some things that you can do to make it easier to forget about a bad day at the office.
First, you’ll want to stop working. This means no hopping onto your smartphone to check work emails and putting off business calls until the next day. While this can be difficult if you’re a workaholic, now is not the best time to conduct business. Ever hear of the snowball effect? You want to avoid your bad day spiraling into even greater problems.
Spend your evening devoting your time to things that recharge you. This may mean hanging out with your family, soaking in the tub, listening to music, or visiting with friends. You may even want to hop on the treadmill at the gym, as exercise alleviates stress and releases endorphins that will improve your state of mind.
Engaging in enjoyable activities will help you to turn your focus away from what’s bothering you. While it’s tempting to dwell on your upsets, try to avoid doing so because it’s counterproductive.
Although you might be tempted to conclude that these activities aren’t helping you to fulfill your professional goals, they actually can benefit you in the long run. Specifically, when you know that you can experience a difficult day and bounce back from it, you develop resilience.
You can’t underestimate the importance of resilience when it comes to being a good salesperson. Caliper Corporation, a human resources consulting firm, studied almost three-quarters of a million salespeople and concluded that empathy, drive, and resilience are the top three characteristics of successful salespeople. That said, consider recharging yourself at the end of a bad day to be useful toward achieving your professional goals.
