What Do I Do About Whale Hunting?
Some salespeople spend their time chasing the “whales”—the big jobs, the perfect opportunities, the massive tickets. The problem? While they’re hunting whales, they’re often swimming past a lake full of fish.
In today’s Question of the Day, I break down the whale hunting mindset and why it quietly limits production.
In this episode, we cover:
- The common symptoms of a whale hunter
- The underlying causes that lead salespeople to chase only the biggest jobs
- How to open your mindset to the opportunities sitting right in front of you
- A real-world example showing how simply being consistently average can produce a $1.6 million opportunity
If you’ve ever felt like your results depend on landing the “big one,” this episode will challenge that thinking and show how steady execution often wins the game.
