“Take a good hard look at people's ruling principle, especially of the wise, what they avoid and what they pursue.” - Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius teaches us that by studying the actions and principles of the wise, we can gain invaluable insights into living virtuously.

For salespeople, this means learning from those who’ve mastered the craft. Observe top performers and industry leaders, analyze their strategies, and refine your own approach. You can accelerate your growth by learning from the best.

By reflecting on the habits and decisions of those who’ve achieved success, you can avoid common pitfalls and build a path of your own.

Surround yourself with mentors, both in person and through their stories, and constantly strive to improve your practice.

Actionable tips:

• Find a mentor or role model within your organisation or industry. Observe their approach to prospecting, handling objections, and closing deals.
• Break down the tactics of top-performing salespeople. What do they avoid? What do they prioritize? Integrate those insights into your own routine.

Remember you will die.
