Good morning, Relentless Fam! Happy Monday! 💪
Don’t give up on your sales goals and dreams this year. It’s not too late.
Not long ago, I was talking with a friend and neighbor who told me his daughter had quit sales in less than one year.
Less than one year!
You can’t get great at much of anything in one year, especially sales.
It got me thinking:
Why do some sales professionals have tremendous success while others never seem to break through?
After years of being in sales, I believe one of the biggest differences often comes down to one word:
PERSEVERANCE.
I love John Mason’s take:
“Winners simply do what losers don’t want to do longer. Success seems to be largely a matter of holding on after others have let go.”
Think about that.. so many people quit before they give themselves the chance to get good.
We stop when it gets hard.
We jump from job to job before we become highly proficient.
We mistake a difficult season for a sign that we’re on the wrong path.
For me, my Faith in Jesus has been the ultimate difference-maker when it comes to having the strength to persevere.
Jesus is the ultimate & perfect example of perseverance and staying focused on mission.
While this thread is largely about developing our sales skills, I would be nothing without Jesus and the strength He gives me each day. If you’ve drifted in this area, I’d encourage you to come back to Him.
I love Proverbs 16:3:
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
The key is that as we commit our plans to Him, God shapes our plans begin to become His plans. 😉
So, just like the subtitle of Relentless Sales says, keep developing your skills, mentality, and FAITH today!
Keep showing up.
Keep learning.
Keep believing.
Keep persevering.
And remember: “Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.” — Christopher Morley
So… let the bat off your shoulder today!!
Swing for the fences. BELIEVE. And go get ’em this week!! 💪🔥
