Achieved My Sales Target.
Submitted by: Prabodh Deolekar
IndiaI am 38 years old and work for a large IT company. I have been practicing the law of attraction every day for 3 years.
First of all, I world like to express my gratitude to Rhonda Bryne for introducing me to this concept of gratitude and to the law of attraction. Rhonda, you have done a big favor for humanity by publishing The Secret.
This is a story about how the law of attraction worked wonders for me last year.
I have been practicing feeling and giving gratitude every day for the last three years. Every day without fail, I make it a point to count my blessings.
Last year, I decided to consciously test the law of attraction for one of my work-related goals. Last year, at the start of the year I wrote on my whiteboard in big, black bold letters that I will achieve 150% of my sales quota. I wanted to test to see if the law of attraction would work for this. So I started practicing my goal related affirmations every single day.
The year started as usual. I am a business to business (B2B) salesperson, and I was working on a few large opportunities. In the first few months of the year, I closed a few deals and managed to achieve around 30% of my sales quota.
The months passed by and soon, I was working on a large multi-million deal. This deal was a game changer for me. If I cracked it could blow up my numbers. Forget about 150%, I could have easily done 200% of my quota if this deal got closed.
But luck apparently was not on my side then. Many of the members in that customer organization left when the deal was about to get closed and they were replaced by new members. These new members, unfortunately, were very much in support of our competition. Eventually, the deal went to the competition and I was left with no other opportunities in my sales funnel. After that, 150% of my quota felt almost impossible. It became almost apparent that I was going to have a very bad year.
But I did not lose hope. I kept asserting to myself that I will hit 150% of my quota. I kept believing. I kept asking and I kept my focus.
And then, out of nowhere, something magical happened.
The Reserve Bank of India, RBI, which is the governing body for the banks in India, made it mandatory for Indian Banks to store their data locally. And owing to this mandate, a foreign bank with whom we had a good, long-term relationship came to us for help.
This foreign bank had its ongoing operations in India but it did not have its data center in India. And that is why it had to build its data center in India as soon as possible. For this, it would require a huge supply of IT equipment which my organization could supply.
Now, this bank was not my account. I had never worked with it in the past. However, my boss still decided to give the account to me. He knew I had put a lot of effort into the earlier deal which we lost. And he also knew that we couldn’t close the earlier multi-million dollar deal because of sheer bad luck.
So out of nowhere, I got the opportunity to achieve 150% of my sales quota. This deal was given to me by my boss on a platter. It helped me to manifest the goal I set out for myself at the start of the year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
None of us really could have predicted that this would happen. The foreign bank did not know that the RBI would come up with such a mandate and they would have to set up a data center in India. I on the other hand, definitely did not know that I would get the account as well as the opportunity to completely flip my sales year.
I would like to give all the credit to the law of attraction. I think, somehow because of my gratitude and affirmation practice, as well as my efforts, I attracted this deal to me.
This did happen to me, and I am so grateful to Rhonda Bryne. I am also so thankful for The Secret, and for the law of attraction. I am also very grateful for The Secret Super App.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am looking forward to manifesting many more big things now using the law of attraction
P.S: I also manifested writing this story and posting it on The Secret Super App someday.
