E58: Peter Duke
Have you ever tried something without even knowing about it or planning for it?
In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to Peter Duke about the huge benefits of being a YES Man! No, it doesn’t make you a pushover or easy. It just means you’re always ready for any challenge and unafraid to go through any obstacle. Because what do we get from new experiences? If we don’t win, we learn—and still win!
Peter also shares some personal stories and lessons from his career journey. Find out more about his passion for sales, how he treats his clients, some theatre anecdotes, and more when you tune in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Peter has long been experienced in sales. He enjoys the adrenaline rush every time he lands on a big sales deal. He is enjoys that he’s able to maintain long-term connections with his clients.
- Of course, sales is not always rainbows and unicorns. Sometimes, no matter how much effort you exert, they’d still go for the competition. But regardless, one must continue to show up and be the best. You’ll never know. You might get referrals.
- Respect and compassion go a long way. Peter is very grateful for having parents that showed him how to be ‘human’—how to coexist with other people and always be understanding of them. This helped him grow his network and maintain healthy relationships too.
- Customers are always right. This means, that there is nothing that will go wrong if we suitably give them what they need and want. Do the job right. When the customer’s happy, your business will be booming.
- Say Yes. Peter has tried working in the theatre industry, which he has no expertise, as he admits. It was surprising indeed how an opportunity like that appeared in front of him, so why would Peter say no? Peter learned new skills and was also able to meet new people along the way. The great thing too is that Peter didn’t regret wandering into that unknown territory.
BEST MOMENTS
- “Technology makes learning easier and more enjoyable.”
- “Treating people with respect can take you to so many places.”
- “The customers are my people, and I’m concerned that the job’s done right for them.”
- “I was always willing to learn and I do take it (work) professionally.”
- “If a door opens, I’ll say yes!”
