Currently, I have a "sales drought." It's been 2 months that I have not achieved anything and everyone tells me it's normal, but I feel it will be forever. Since I started, I have done very well, but now I do not know what is happening- nothing works as before.

We all have those moments where we think we are not going to make another sale but keep doing your best and you will see that many more will come together.

I would recommend you to perform a Market study, see what you sale, what are the prices on the Market for that, is you price competitive? Maybe its not only you Who is struggling.

I hear you, I am on the same boat. It feels is going to be forever ☹️.

I know it becomes harder each day to remember the good times but keep going. Fingers crossed things will get better soon.

First dont feel frustrated these things sometimes happen. Just take a time to see if its a Market thing (happens to other persons) or if its Just you. And if its you only, investigate why and what ways can you recover.

It's important to understand that no one has a magic wand that can guarantee success 100% of the time. Sales are tricky, and even the most experienced professionals can go through dry spells.

If you feel like your current slump is going to be a permanent fixture, it may be time to take a step back and reevaluate your approach. Start by evaluating what's been working for you in the past, and see if there's anything you can tweak or improve. Maybe your messaging needs work, or you could focus on building better relationships with your clients.

Sales are like the tides, they go up and down. It's important to remember that when you're experiencing a "sales drought," it's not necessarily indicative of your overall ability to sell. It's just a natural ebb and flow. As long as you stay focused and continue to put in the effort, your tide will eventually turn and you'll be back on top.

What you need to do right now is keep your head up and keep working hard. Don't get discouraged just because things aren't going your way right now. There's no guarantee that things will turn around immediately, but if you keep at it, you'll eventually start seeing results again.

it'll come, don't worry. i've been in this business a long time, your time will come no doubt

Yup, I'm in the same place right now. My usual clientele have been hit hard by the pandemic.

Are other people in your area having the same issue? Follow the social media of people making sales closely in your area and see what they are doing differently that you could apply to your own work.
