Most people wait for the phone to ring.

Most people wait for the phone to ring.

I once did the same.
Crafted my killer proposition value.
Perfected my positioning.

Then … silence.

⇥ No leads.
⇥ No pipeline.
⇥ No deals.

Just me hoping to be found ...

And although I lost that first business 🙁 I learnt from the failure.

Sales performance isn’t luck. It’s a discipline. A proactive habit.

Follow-up isn’t sleazy → it’s necessary.
Referrals don’t
→ they're engineered.
Positioning isn’t a parachute → it’s the megaphone for your active outreach.

Tell me, are you still waiting to be found … or making sure you are?

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
