Even seasoned professionals need rehearsal. Practicing scripts and responses ensures that every call or meeting, from the first to the last, is conducted with precision and confidence. Preparation is key to maintaining high performance consistently.
🔄 Effective Preparation:
Engage in role-playing, review key points, and record practice sessions to fine-tune your delivery. This not only helps smooth out initial jitters but also sharpens your focus, ensuring you're articulate and goal-oriented right from the start.
Remember, effective practice is about deliberate and purposeful attempts to perfect your approach. Make preparation a core part of your sales strategy to stay always ready, ensuring optimal performance in every interaction.

When someone asks "Why did you do that?" it often feels accusatory, triggering a defensive response. This can hinder open communication, whether in sales or personal relationships.
Greg Birch, a former interrogator, shared insights on using "how" or "what" instead of "why" to foster a more constructive dialogue.
🔄 A Better Approach:
Instead of "Why did you choose that?" try "What led you to this decision?" or "How did you arrive at this conclusion?" This phrasing shows curiosity and places you on the same side of the table.
Shifting from "why" to "what" or "how" encourages sharing and collaboration, reducing the defensive barrier.
💡 Whether you're in sales, parenting, or any form of leadership, remember: the way we ask questions can profoundly influence the responses we get.
Let's strive to foster openness and understanding in every conversation.

I'm diving into the concept of the "alter ego" in sales. 🔄 Early in my sales career, I adopted this strategy to enhance my boldness and adaptability in the face of challenges. 🎭
Creating an alter ego isn't about faking it; it's about stepping into your best self, even before you fully believe in it. For me, transitioning from "Tony" to "Harry" was more than a name change; it signified a shift to a more professional, assertive persona. 🆕
This approach can be transformative for anyone feeling timid about sales, enabling you to project the confidence and capabilities of your future successful self. 🚀

Tackling the “I'm not a salesperson” mindset. 🚀 Many say this, perhaps feeling inadequate or fearing a negative sales stereotype. 🚫💬 But consider this:
