0:54
Before. Showtime. Here we go. You
1:03
ever see wraps getting? They're letting their
1:05
ego. That. No way of their income.
1:09
I do. I think sometimes we can to
1:12
get no way and we we sort of
1:14
limit our success in sales mean by your
1:16
side scrubbing. little bit of a double edged
1:18
sword because you have to have some ego
1:20
yep that that confidence in a variety of
1:22
ways and sales but there's also were can
1:24
count on getting your own way in any
1:27
don't want to let it turn into southern
1:29
like and been a narcissist than and really
1:31
holding you back and and burning bridges along
1:33
the way so I think their doors some
1:35
good things to to have enough confidence in
1:37
the ego but there's also working can of.
1:40
You back in. You take everything
1:42
personally and our new everything is
1:44
a self esteem header. Everything is
1:46
all about you, You, you and
1:48
that usually doesn't. And very well
1:50
in sales. Is. I think
1:52
this is instinctual. It's.
1:55
Evolutionary it's to protect
1:57
us. Because.
2:00
The for you have a a sales call. And
2:03
say both of us are in it.
2:06
We. Come out of as. And.
2:09
You. Think it went great. Nice they didn't
2:11
want okay. Now
2:15
why do you think it's Grace? Subjective.
2:19
Because neither us, we didn't have
2:21
a videotape where we could replay.
2:23
It's low little seats for nothing.
2:25
Have the blood pressure and a
2:27
lie detector on all of us.
2:31
All in the interpretations. What's
2:35
the default? False.
2:39
Gonna be that you probably are happy years
2:41
and he think it went well because your
2:43
coffin a person, but that's probably rarely the
2:45
case with the sales meetings. But why do
2:48
you have happy years? The
2:52
sky automatics. Your point is that sub
2:54
a subconscious kind of working for you
2:56
just want things would go Aussies hear
2:58
what you wanted your type thing he
3:00
you right now when. The
3:03
dorm? Be paranoid because then there's
3:05
a slight hint that you're not
3:07
perfect. And
3:10
that. Is where people go
3:12
wrong and sales. And I
3:14
think. When. I interviewed
3:16
great sales leaders. It's the pet
3:19
peeves. Ninety. Nine percent of
3:21
the time. Is. That
3:23
wraps be com. So
3:25
confident focusing on how they
3:28
feel about it. Instead
3:31
of what's really going on, thinking like
3:33
the clone, The
3:37
want the deal, the clothes. That's when
3:39
we go by our intuition. We don't
3:41
go by thinking. You
3:44
know, after the call you should be
3:46
judging based off of what they said.
3:48
What? They're willing to do. As
3:51
the next out. What?
3:53
They cared about. Instead
3:56
of how well you presented, the prob.
4:02
It's funny and many ask him how the
4:04
meeting went in there. they're always can be
4:06
very positive. Benefits are drawn down with those
4:08
questions like as you get it next meeting
4:10
a male before we will stay with not
4:12
lonely i know it had called earlier the
4:14
story. I'll have sex them and get deeper
4:16
meaning or never bites and that's funny now
4:18
so so you don't to be and if
4:20
you're a meter you don't have good deal
4:23
killer every time and completely shut down be
4:25
one of bites. Okay okay I'm glad I'm
4:27
a well like plus can very low the
4:29
deeper type thing so it's It's interesting that
4:31
I think it's because we we. Sell people
4:33
to take it and go. Wow. You can
4:35
take that as a personal attack against yourself.
4:37
Ah it's like if he gets old, know
4:39
if you lose a deal or if you
4:41
have a bad day where no one answers
4:43
the phone or years didn't beat up All
4:46
of Harmony. So as like a personal attack
4:48
that you're a failure that you didn't make
4:50
it happen. See Dolan. Deliver. The
4:52
bad news the dawn of be real with
4:54
yourself to your manager or real yourself first
4:56
and they don't be real. Demands are so
4:58
I think we we can adjust tickets you
5:00
personally sometimes with that but it's never going
5:03
to be perfect. I mean there's no one
5:05
size fits all. There's always gonna be ups
5:07
and downs. You have to come on now
5:09
with it as a personal attack and then
5:11
be real of herself and then them. The
5:13
leader I prefer the art and science to
5:15
ask all these questions was attend the day
5:18
if you're not answering those questions that you
5:20
are dismissing, if you're having an. Answer to
5:22
it than that means it's probably not have
5:24
a real deal of a real opportunity. Orders
5:26
lot more work that that needs to be
5:28
done so it's i think certain with you
5:30
and then hopefully you have a good. Leader
5:33
that can can I help you navigate
5:35
out because it's if you do for
5:37
on a good one that passover a
5:39
questions and it kind of sorts your
5:41
perspective where you are curb greenhouse, meeting
5:43
where or in seeing how how how
5:46
your day when was it was a
5:48
productive but that's something I don't think
5:50
a lot of self people are doing,
5:52
they're just gonna go into the motions
5:54
or busy. they're not reflecting back on
5:56
where they can get better organ. Real.
5:59
Feedback from people. The Agenda: Health Enclosed
6:01
patio. Well why don't
6:03
they want feedback? Because.
6:06
They are comfortable. They think they don't
6:08
think they're perfect, but they think they're
6:10
good for great. And
6:13
people get stuck in that
6:15
Dunning Kruger effect the deep
6:17
player trap because they get
6:19
often. it's a loss. To.
6:25
Go and sell and think
6:27
well of themselves and have
6:29
that confidence to stand up,
6:31
have great conversations, but they're
6:33
not confident enough to take
6:35
feedback. Why
6:37
are they confident enough to take feedback? And
6:42
they have to do some fun! Is
6:47
everybody look at the comments on
6:49
my content or anybody's. Everybody
6:52
thanks for the reminder! That.
6:55
Do Not even emitting that they didn't know
6:58
it. They. Have to tell
7:00
you they know us. By.
7:02
It's a reminder. That
7:05
he drove. Down.
7:08
To buy it or they have to change
7:10
the topic to tell you you're wrong. And
7:14
the dirty. They say you. You're.
7:17
Wrong, But they're not referencing the
7:19
content. With. Their interpretation
7:21
of the continent. Because.
7:24
They know better. Mahalo!
7:29
That person gonna do and work from the
7:31
world sale. Be.
7:34
Coming B or C players are gonna
7:36
go through the motions, maybe get lucky
7:39
here thereby they're not gonna Actually ah
7:41
can prove I'm optimistic and I see
7:43
that all the time suits at people
7:45
don't one out the information on how
7:47
they don't want to write it down
7:49
bay St it's easier than it actually
7:51
is and because they've been doing it
7:53
first however many of years they said
7:55
it's just natural that's gonna happen and
7:57
ah you know some of them probably
7:59
pretty sharp people but you just can't
8:01
remember all the stuff and are your
8:03
does. get this and the waves as
8:05
if your nationality or write it down
8:07
if you don't have some type the
8:09
system to reflect on it cause you're
8:11
going to make mistakes he can't remember
8:13
all the south and I think it's
8:15
also probably that the company's address sometimes
8:17
are just making them to keep the
8:19
eyes and saucer. they think they just
8:21
have to do do do all the
8:23
time and on actually can take a
8:25
step back and saying and I probably
8:27
did some the way too. So it's.
8:30
It's on screen is seen in a dazzling
8:32
the coach ability and see back I mean
8:35
that's a pretty tell tell signs of have
8:37
that you get off your take him out
8:39
always as a personal attack or philo can
8:41
see the dead of sometimes obscene was a
8:43
feedback from the right people by it's i
8:45
think when you actually can can have an
8:48
athlete mentality and alternative better to take that
8:50
see back and do something with a dust
8:52
The people attended to really get better and
8:54
and the well I think you're trying to.
8:57
Protect. Your image. It's like you know what?
8:59
People think that you are severely. You want
9:01
people to think that you don't know how
9:04
to do sales? Are you how to eat?
9:06
You know I saw people and things are
9:08
going wrong. So it's sisters. Not
9:11
wanting to deliver that bad news because years
9:13
ago where the image that you don't offer
9:15
whatever maybe there's a lot of for angles
9:17
to it's of settling answer seem to come
9:20
on.deeper into the ego of a salesperson. Of
9:22
it's people. Such a sales people,
9:25
It's everybody. And were
9:27
in were raised in the
9:29
school system which is. Hop
9:32
Justice, Both.
9:35
It's. Mathematical. Or. It's
9:37
is not much, not much interpretation so
9:39
the teacher can prove. That.
9:42
You're wrong. And.
9:44
It doesn't feel good to be wrong. To.
9:46
Why would we admit we're wrong? We.
9:49
Don't want paint? People
9:51
more. Interested. In spilling
9:54
good about it than the are
9:56
winning and making movies. And.
10:00
The raps I've had to sit down. Go. You
10:02
want to be right? We want to be rich.
10:05
Of because you're so fricking sec.
10:08
Yeah, you're right in your mind. That.
10:12
Me: Wrong! A
10:15
bad you can be for. Which. One
10:17
do you want? An
10:19
it it took. And
10:22
least three discussions like that before I
10:24
get rude people. Because.
10:26
They're so. Interested in
10:28
the concert. In. Their
10:30
ego. And. Their self
10:32
esteem. And their identities.
10:35
As opposed to winning the deal,
10:39
A go into the account: Bad Bad Bad
10:41
Bad Bad Bad Though there goes the our.
10:43
We haven't talked about anything real yet. Yet.
10:47
It doesn't sound aged. You really
10:49
get hitched. They were bored to
10:51
death. You.
10:53
Felt. Organically. Natural
10:55
talking What? it's instinctual in
10:58
sales. Talking. About
11:00
you, your company, your product. What
11:02
kind of an intuitive? The.
11:05
Interested a man. Understanding
11:08
Now I'm. Doing. Research on
11:10
what they care about, trying to
11:12
understand what they're going through. And
11:16
people say what was the subject line from them. Can
11:18
I put it that my Cadence. Know
11:23
what wants, do the work, Soon
11:28
as a lot of I guess it's good
11:30
to know a guy had isn't just a
11:32
sales people, famous people in general and something
11:34
that's probably. Instinctual
11:37
of us out of out of against growing up
11:39
such it's gonna be hard it kind of her
11:41
first some others but you know that they ever
11:44
by going to this is not just me that
11:46
kind of makes you more opened or hopefully wanting
11:48
to do that So realizing that other people are
11:50
gone through that ah I think it could be
11:53
good thing if if you can kind of so
11:55
that perspective lights they offered you have a seat
11:57
or not nebula put yourself in A customer says
11:59
here. When you're not going to do with
12:01
it yeah you know I can be saying
12:03
what Malbec because the world revolves around Dustin
12:05
the war the world revolves around Brian your
12:08
your you know which is market I guess
12:10
you very far some point and burn lot
12:12
of bridges most like when it's not in
12:14
a pan out very well but if you
12:16
really can put yourself in their shoes and
12:18
and tear with a care about them as
12:20
going to be tough to to really take
12:22
it to the next level and and sales
12:24
so it's ah and I think at some
12:26
point the had a tough time with that
12:28
because I'm a was. He born
12:30
ah revolved around me and I think
12:32
the more you can I have life
12:34
experiences. you get a humble a little
12:36
bit you interfere in a more commission
12:38
job which is tougher. I think you
12:40
realize you have to do some of
12:43
our the watchers as is never going
12:45
to happen. So like yeah so do
12:47
your next mission type situation or start
12:49
up whenever you have to learn all
12:51
these things. Otherwise it. Is he
12:53
said be cells need to get a
12:55
difference profession saw think I didn't have
12:57
a little bit can help of the
12:59
ego or but most of ego people
13:01
I think that he also they're not
13:04
going to give me refs because they
13:06
know is currently that six months of
13:08
thing where if you have more that
13:10
six mindset and he had that you
13:12
go. Needlepoint, Yourself and tougher
13:14
situations because there's more risk that you
13:16
could fail. So you might be in
13:18
places where you're comfortable where you have
13:20
more likely to succeed if we collect
13:22
academia saying it's ah if you're really
13:24
smart in a certain area in a
13:26
go into med school or whatever you're
13:28
not ago like take up a courses
13:30
outside of Ah because it's a risky
13:32
that you cannot get a or something
13:34
and it's going with bad on the
13:36
transcripts. I think there's that whole yoder
13:38
a can actually hurt you from taking
13:41
risks sometimes. From. What
13:43
I've seen to succeed. If you have a little
13:45
bit for openers, you know. Turn. The
13:47
setbacks and a success or whatever we want
13:49
to call it than you might say. Morris
13:51
and and have more opportunities and some his
13:53
commission type environments he has to make that
13:55
is. A decision. That
13:58
you want. To. Be. Rich.
14:01
And to do that, you have to teach. And
14:06
because. You. Know what
14:08
your performances now. And.
14:11
It's great saying that I got early
14:13
in my career at the T. When
14:15
the student is ready, the teacher will
14:17
appear. That's.
14:21
What stays in our way? Because we can
14:23
only learn at the pace we want. Because.
14:28
What we say to ourselves as I know that. Which
14:31
means I don't have to learn it. Was.
14:34
No, it wasn't you do. Then.
14:38
The reclusive territory product
14:40
doesn't work anymore. Company
14:42
manager. Number One
14:44
response from wraps on all the posts
14:46
as so that my manager. I.
14:50
Never listen to my managers. Eyes.
14:53
But at the management pay you have a
14:55
dozen command because you did it their way
14:57
now due to blame you said didn't do
14:59
it right. You
15:02
have to change. All of us
15:04
have to change. If you
15:06
wanna become better, you have to learn
15:08
more. You have to become better at
15:10
it. And once you decide
15:12
that you want to become better at it
15:14
than all of us and you'll start seeing
15:16
these things. Oh, there's this course and this
15:18
podcast and this video. You
15:22
know, because. Otherwise you just
15:24
gonna tell yourself. You. Going
15:26
to give you the South The credits
15:28
Emotional commission. Which. He
15:31
can't buy anything with other than ceilings.
15:33
the a good. Book I
15:35
just got some emotional conditions. Yeah.
15:38
To get a car that know he did anything
15:40
a bit. Different feelings. And
15:44
I see this when I train wraps the
15:46
they don't wanna write it down. And.
15:49
As why. Do. They taste attention
15:51
to send me yours or users
15:54
will nice for me. And. My
15:56
sales. And may not be
15:58
for you and your sound want you to say
16:00
ruin. And. Have
16:02
a system instead of going with your
16:04
instincts. And your instincts are
16:07
a hundred percent wrong. This.
16:09
Is why sales so hard. Everyone
16:12
follows their instincts. The talk too
16:14
much. They don't think like a
16:16
client. They're optimistic when they shouldn't
16:18
be. And. When it goes wrong,
16:20
they rationalize that a west. Coast.
16:23
Know. Your.
16:30
Own view. Not
16:38
first say than a series. I. I
16:41
don't think comical autonoma really well and
16:43
I went to medical device or three
16:46
months and basically lost forty percent my
16:48
territory because the backorder products major issue
16:50
and I was like will set up
16:52
does not give my starts morning by
16:54
Melbourne, then the pandemic top and I
16:56
think six seven months later and or
16:58
father that so it was like boom
17:01
I mean to say makers ah the
17:03
gate some also performing above quarter but
17:05
I was like Madison is as rough
17:07
as far as such for my tail
17:09
between my legs and go back. Where
17:11
it came from what I thought about
17:14
many times. For served by solid A,
17:16
I got sick of Salads Healthcare. It's
17:18
really complex. There's a million different things
17:20
going on. It's a twelve or eighteen
17:22
month deal. Cycles, deals, Patients like all
17:24
this trade. South Side. That
17:26
certain did what you taught him. I
17:28
started looking into okay Will whom I
17:30
phone only time will work. Courses are
17:32
often enough, anything similar costs your course
17:34
at some point and he knows what
17:36
of a bit helpless and eight like
17:38
Nickelback probably could have extensive maybe by
17:40
ended up paying my own pocket which
17:42
is probably better anywhere. And I
17:45
did that course. obviously help me a lot
17:47
of from a sales process and point on
17:49
it. Gonna open that door for me. Where
17:51
now is the sort of investing in yourself
17:54
be more open sense of shame sons and
17:56
continuous improvement and and I've had some are
17:58
other things are done. Since then
18:00
and and a lot of a constant like
18:02
soon it was all around that can a
18:05
personal development or your professional improvements it's not
18:07
you know that that be a stuff that
18:09
you could kind of form of social media
18:11
by adults can I go through that experience
18:14
and yeah kind of forced into it but
18:16
and out here on my own pockets are
18:18
doing that starts not have on probably have
18:20
that type of mentality but I think once
18:22
you can I do it and you see
18:25
some of results from it you can be
18:27
more open sewer and now I guess five
18:29
years later whatever. I mean I
18:31
I feel like this is normal what
18:33
I'm doing. that and I go out
18:35
on its work with companies are salespeople.
18:37
Most people it's probably not doing that
18:40
is probably birds the exception for server
18:42
So ah but if even if you're
18:44
open about if you want to hobble
18:46
yourself little bit I mean he could
18:48
definitely help you and your career by
18:50
it's it's gonna be easier to write
18:52
it down here pointing at a do
18:54
some more honey interest to consume in
18:56
exactly what. think of anything else this
18:58
of performance that you can. Learn as
19:00
minimum is possible to stay alive.
19:03
And succeed. If
19:05
you were to play a musical instrument, Sex.
19:09
And guitar lessons. but service how frequently death
19:11
there was funny he doesn't it. He
19:14
has is brutal and stuff. Look
19:17
secret, but what is What's five strings?
19:20
Or six. I don't know how many there are. The.
19:23
I think five. Yeah, okay, how hard can
19:25
it be? Now.
19:28
If you use that, Analogy.
19:32
That. If because what what they give
19:34
your today training course in sales. Logitech
19:37
in two days and guitar and then
19:39
going on stage performing. The
19:45
Great Barrier Reef know it's a
19:47
great analogy. Yeah, you, Kansas. I
19:49
mean all the comedians, musicians, artists.
19:51
I mean, they've probably been training
19:53
and working for years, especially the
19:56
really good ones. And estate go
19:58
dinner probably gonna fall under years
20:00
of hundred boy about show or
20:02
whatever it is, because it's gonna
20:04
be be tough to be successful
20:06
and it's not just warming up.
20:09
It's like. Every musician. Practices.
20:12
Place. Days. Get
20:14
down into the rabbit holes, And
20:18
the full. Deeper and deeper, Deeper deeper. And
20:20
try and learn. Think. About
20:22
psychologists, lawyers, You.
20:24
Think a lawyer going to a big
20:26
case has gone. I've been doing this
20:28
for forty years. Possibly can make. It
20:30
a net A painful. A.
20:33
Lot. To happen Other
20:35
minions. In. Of doing all the
20:37
research. Have a meeting after meeting after meeting.
20:39
Mock Trial after Mock trial. Jury.
20:42
Selection. The taken through
20:44
it. All. The things
20:46
that can go wrong. All the things that the
20:48
other opponent would do. To.
20:51
Sales people do that though I
20:53
see our kids. That's
20:57
ego. A.
21:01
Stuffy doll and I wonder. I.
21:04
Was hear about this funding at some point.
21:06
Was it really that easy? Years has been
21:08
just going on since sales has been in
21:11
existence. Got going on on. I never. Yeah
21:14
I've I've but because people are many senior
21:16
more these days because of that I think
21:18
for for pandemic how permit it is getting
21:20
tougher out there was way more noise I
21:23
think people are realizing what it's a big
21:25
company or small company it's not as easy
21:27
as it may be wasn't at one point
21:29
he and it's really hard again front of
21:31
the boss of yours If you're using your
21:33
you don't you're not wanting to better for
21:36
not open a new ideas and changing you're
21:38
gonna suffer probably financially or the company will
21:40
also thinks you're maybe even if what's going
21:42
on at a certain seems a. Little bit
21:44
on a storm and a small percentage synthesis
21:47
probably that not point zero one percent better
21:49
looking into these other things but it's it's
21:51
It's crazy that that you go to define
21:53
didn't away a company soon as much as
21:55
the sales reps. It's also the it's a
21:58
companies and leaders. It's a sports. Like
22:00
a trickle down effect. Can they think the
22:02
same thing about the sales profession? Yeah. Now.
22:05
As you think it's activity, why would you wanna
22:07
get better? You want to do more. If.
22:10
You're digging ditches. There's not much artistry
22:12
to digging a ditch. It's
22:15
really hours. Sticking.
22:17
Your shovel and and throwing as. As
22:20
later. But.
22:22
That's not the celsius. It might be
22:25
if it's order taking. But.
22:27
I doubt if you have older takers. Were.
22:30
As your role you there to create
22:32
orders. And. You're talking
22:34
with another human being. To.
22:37
Think about how your conversation
22:39
skills haven't proved. And.
22:41
The last five, ten years since you've been out of. Lot
22:47
I'm a i'm a more vote extrovert for
22:49
share some in your back so high
22:51
school does sound insane. Midget beauty and
22:53
sales your own career. I probably would have
22:56
thought you were crazy. Design Aus the
22:58
person I never want to speak up
23:00
a class of them on it's often
23:02
have a group that everything and so.associated I
23:04
do it for work and have found
23:06
a way that it can. I worked
23:08
for me by others substantially Matters here is.
23:11
Understanding how to navigate conversations at and basically
23:13
it's not rocket science is make it about
23:15
them. Let them talk eight percent. Of the
23:17
time ask questions be serious legs anymore
23:20
I am and usually that of my
23:22
conversations ago really well because the other
23:24
person talks the majority of the time.
23:26
but it's yeah I was not. recently
23:28
I was getting warmer. one conversation about
23:30
not more of a group or type
23:32
person but out because of Eleven during
23:34
the last decade. Plus now it's way
23:36
more natural for me and comfortable. but
23:39
it's sneaky about the other people making
23:41
about the audience enough your that musician
23:43
and the performers your conflict thing about
23:45
what. More. Do they want to hear
23:47
what they want to see? Like what's going
23:49
on? Make them feel good about this performance.
23:51
Thought about you and ended up practice or
23:53
I waited to. gonna make it happen. And.
23:57
If you don't do that, You
24:00
can still tell yourself you're good at as. But
24:02
that doesn't. A motion commission
24:04
doesn't pay well. So
24:07
it's all about get yourself ready to
24:09
learn more. And. One.
24:12
Of the things that hurt my career
24:14
is where the first sales jobs I
24:16
was insanely successful. That. And.
24:19
I thought it was all me. But.
24:22
Guano timing. I
24:24
didn't work my butt off with a
24:26
super creative. Like a lot of
24:28
help from executives. But then
24:30
I go on to another company
24:32
and they wouldn't. Cooperate with
24:35
the way I wanted to do what they want me
24:37
to do with their way. I.
24:39
Didn't have the support. Ah,
24:41
Didn't have that help from engineers and
24:43
stuff. It was all up to me.
24:46
And I had to develop those skills.
24:49
I. Could have just said. Of
24:52
company Sox go for another country but.
24:55
I learned Up Without is pretty much every companies
24:57
like that. And.
25:00
The. Magic that I created the first company.
25:03
No other company wanted to take that
25:05
approach. As assad his wrists.
25:08
My. Okay, well. You. Don't have the
25:11
revenue bed. Or we want to revenue
25:13
without the risk. Their
25:15
weakness get in the way. So.
25:18
If you're in sales you wanna make
25:20
more money. You have to become better.
25:24
Or. Does everybody do look for a better job
25:26
with. The spirit see or
25:29
game to read. Look
25:32
at think was anybody say the country more
25:34
than a year. It's
25:37
pretty crazy that is a lot of
25:39
people hop around it's that saw as
25:41
for same be heard he people forget
25:43
the year their happens often somewhere so
25:45
much I find that that perfect unicorn
25:48
situation that tornado would sit and you
25:50
can find it feels great are kinda
25:52
hits us to Jamaica Mogadishu that the
25:54
awesome like it's I've yet to find
25:56
that stuff perfect unicorn situations I kind
25:58
of time real estate. The stock market
26:00
I mean it happens under was why you to
26:02
get lucky you're there to buy it but I
26:04
mean even the people at all I do a
26:07
study that stuff don't always get it right or
26:09
rarely if ever get a right. So it's really
26:11
about choice. It's. About time
26:13
Me: Coincidence. But
26:16
matter where you are, You're there. You're
26:19
still the same person. And
26:21
if you look at. In have less than
26:23
three percent of sales people will read a sales
26:26
book. This. Year.
26:29
Probably. Less than two percent will listen to
26:31
a sales podcast. One
26:33
knows how. I. Mean, I listened to
26:35
a lot of them. Just. To get. Material.
26:38
For my old. About how
26:40
bad their view of the world is. And.
26:43
If you look at the comments as anybody
26:45
really dig into what the issues I'm know.
26:48
It's all about relationships. Trust.
26:51
Hard work. And.
26:54
We all know that, but what does it
26:56
mean? Everybody thinks they work
26:58
hard. You ever heard some sales reps?
27:00
a general slots. Loses
27:05
trusted advisor I got they don't trust
27:07
you and they don't value your advice.
27:12
And. And then the relationship I go.
27:14
will they talk to you when they don't want
27:16
some. Well. Maybe a
27:19
new relationship? You.
27:21
Think as a relationship because you want
27:23
them. You. Need them to
27:26
make money's. And
27:32
nodded saw a dream research that that no
27:34
light and trust them you go at it
27:36
and up region the way for sure. I'm
27:38
a I know times where I try to
27:40
do too much myself are definitely noticed that
27:42
more immanent went to the commission type situations
27:44
where it's really hard for me because if
27:46
I am tried delegates are sometimes I get
27:48
a virtual system whenever an ominous like ah
27:50
screw it I'm said do it myself because
27:52
I i huddled on our patient slaves are
27:54
trained someone or helps you to get other
27:56
people but it's like I did my own
27:58
way. I target love ego like I know
28:00
that I can do a while. some sums
28:02
could do it myself but end your where
28:04
can I be more productive ever outsource things
28:06
that makes sense that are more manual monotonous.
28:08
They aren't a good use of my time
28:10
and I still struggle with that. It's probably
28:12
lot of it's my ego where I'd I
28:14
don't think it's time to train someone or
28:16
tell them how to do this Pacific thanks
28:18
I'm like Op's can do it myself. that
28:20
thanks a second did the best of us
28:22
in a variety of ways but if he
28:24
can concept that he grew a little bits
28:26
and have that sort of thought performance mindset
28:28
to get better. I think you can help lot
28:30
of people for shirt. And and I
28:33
think a lot of people get busy just
28:35
to distract themselves from the things that they
28:37
know they sidner. Has
28:40
been busy. Has the same feeling as
28:42
being successful without the money's. I'd
28:46
rather be less busy with the money. And
28:53
to become great at sales!
28:56
The. Best way is the model.
28:59
Somebody who already has become
29:01
good at sales and to
29:03
hear other people who have
29:05
become great itself and the
29:07
journey that they're going through
29:09
the false police ah. The
29:12
misnomers, The mindset issues. all of
29:15
the stuff that gets in our
29:17
way between where we are in
29:19
the income that we want. Let's
29:21
face it, we're in sales because
29:23
we're money motivated, were competitive. We
29:26
wanna be better. Every day
29:28
than we were yesterday. And how do
29:30
we do that? Is
29:34
really read a book lists new podcast
29:36
that's good. Good start. I like it
29:38
but then you have to take action.
29:41
And and then you want
29:43
both tactical and strategic ideas.
29:46
You want mindset? You want
29:48
strategy. You want to understand
29:50
how companies by you want.
