I just closed my biggest deal of the quarter and reflected on some key ideas and lessons that contributed to the success 🌱
1. Follow your gut - my gut instinct said to call the CEO back immediately after the call dropped. And I did. And he answered. And we won the deal because of it.
2 Do the things you resist… did I resist calling the CEO back immediately? Absolutely. But oftentimes when we do the things that we resist, when your heart is racing and palms are sweating, that’s a sign you’re on the right path. FOLLOW THE BUTTERFLIES 🦋
3. Be bold. Take risks. You never know until you try.
4. “There’s no such thing as failure, but only learning opportunities” - corny as it sounds, it’s the truth. IF you decide to see it this way. This list of lessons initially began when I heard the CEO was going with a competitor… I immediately began writing down lessons I learned throughout this process, only to remember one massive lesson in doing so - it’s not over!
5. The phone is your friend - need something done? Pick up the phone and make the call
6. Success loves speed - work fast (and smart) and maintain momentum when you have it
7. In sales/business, it’s NEVER over until there is a signed contract. In life - it’s never over until the clock says zero…
8. Stay creative in the process (I did extensive research, YouTube search, interview extraction, etc on the CEO & company, and it finally paid off when I spoke with him live). Preparation met opportunity…
9. There is ALWAYS something more you can do…. just think and ask yourself what else you can do
10. Use third-party references when trying to influence - nothing tells a story like the voice of the marketplace
11. At the end of the day, all we can control are the inputs. And we can walk away knowing we did everything in our power.
My goal with the Seeds of Success Newsletter is to empower and equip you with tools, resources, strategies, and lessons that I continue to learn, and share with you freely in hopes that your life will be improved.
