April 25th - Review what goes wrong

Actionable tips:

  • After a challenging call or lost deal, review what went wrong and consider what you could do to improve.
  • Don’t shy away from asking clients or colleagues for input. This feedback loop will help you identify blind spots and refine your approach.

“If anyone can show me that my thinking or actions are wrong, I’m happy to change—because I’m after the truth, and the truth never hurts anyone. It’s those who cling to lies and ignorance who suffer.” - Marcus Aurelius

Being wrong isn’t a failure, it’s an opportunity to grow.

Mistakes are inevitable, whether it's a misstep with a client or missing a market trend. The key to success is being open to learning from them.

Admitting errors builds trust with clients and helps you improve.

Seek feedback from your team without defensiveness, and approach it with an open mind: "Thank you, I’ll just listen and learn."

This mindset boosts resilience, adaptability, and makes you a stronger, more insightful salesperson.

Remember you will die.
