“Philosophy isn’t about appearances; it’s about recognising what truly matters and staying mindful of it.” - Musonius Rufus

Your reputation isn’t built on perfect pitches or easy wins. It’s shaped in the tough conversations, the objections, and the moments when frustration creeps in.

Do you stay patient and professional, or let desperation take over?

Neither Philosophy, nor sales are about appearances. They’re about what truly matters: your character in every moment, not just the polished ones.

Clients remember who listens, who cares, and who puts their needs first.

Be that person, consistently. Your character will always close more deals than any slick sales tactic.

Actionable tips:

• Rather than just waiting for your turn to talk, focus on understanding your client’s needs and concerns. Ask questions, and be genuinely interested in their answers.
• Integrity is built over time. If you're reliable and consistent in your actions, customers will recognize that and come to trust you.
• Don’t bend your morals to make a sale. Stick to your principles, and clients will appreciate your honesty.

Remember you will die.
