“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer

Whether you are aware of this or not, there are two types of people in the marketing industry: those who believe they can deliver every strategy efficiently and successfully and those who believe things can just happen to them. Each marketer has their fair share of experiences in the marketing world. However, their action and approach to a precise moment determine what type of marketer they are.

Admittedly, marketers also feel overwhelmed especially when there are so many things to consider – not to mention the deadlines you need to catch up. Marketers know so well, especially when you are working in a competitive business such as the digital marketing agency in the Philippines that it is not easy to be productive every single time. Sometimes, sales aren’t just going up, and because you need to think it over and over again as to why sales are stagnant; you would apparently exert more effort which causes you to feel stressed-out. If you are one of those marketers who is struggling with their productivity at work, then here are some things you need to know and learn about sales, stress and success and how marketing experts beat them all.

1. Most people who purport to be influential aren’t – and people with tons of social media followers probably can’t help your sales.
   Never get tricked by the number of followers they have on social media, or how they claim to be influential they are. Although they may have some advantages, that does not mean they can already convert their followers into sales. When you’re a marketer, you should know how to determine people who are potential enough to engage on your site. It does not matter if you do not have hundreds or thousands of followers on social media, for as long as you know they are your target market and potential clients, then it should be good enough to give it a try.
2. Anxiety and worry are rooted in fear and are wasted energy; they never contribute to any positive outcomes.
   The moment you decide to be a part of the marketing industry, you should already know that it is a risk to take. Sometimes, you need to sacrifice your time and exert the second effort just to come up with an effective strategy. With this, marketers tend to develop anxiety and worry about the things; they needed to do just to beat the deadlines. However, you have to know that worrying too much is not good especially for marketers. You need to be healthy emotionally and physically to achieve the goals you have for the business.
3. Meditation does wonder for eliminating, preventing and managing stress and anxiety.
   Let’s face it; we usually experience stress – it is inevitable especially when you are working in a competitive company. But just because we often experience it, that does not mean you do not do something to prevent it from happening. Of course, there are also ways for you to avoid such. Meditation is one thing you can do to lessen the burden you are feeling. Whether you realize it or not; meditation has a lot of benefits; be it mentally and physically. With this, it will help you loosen up and start a new and fresh mind.
4. The more you hustle, the luckier you get.
   This is also one thing marketers should consider. The outcome of your success would depend on how you do things the right way, or how you plan out your strategy to make it as efficient as possible. The more you strive for, the better, of course, you can also expect better results. One thing is for sure; you do not want to lose to your competitors just because you are slacking off of your work.
5. Social media does not drive sales.
   Dor some businesses, social media might be a great way to drive sales. However, this may not always be the case for the other businesses. Social media is a broad platform where anyone can just skip your website. But if you are aiming for higher sales, then make sure you create a community where your target audience and potential clients can converse properly. It is in this way where you will be able to ensure you can drive sales out of them.

Perhaps, driving out more sales and beating up stress may be a challenge especially when you have so many things in mind. But with these tips mentioned above, it would guide and help you come up with better and strategic ideas for your business.
