EP42. The summer holiday season is coming, and your mindset about it will determine your results!

This week Dave and James explore the sales fundamental that separates winners from everyone else: showing up when everyone else assumes it's quiet. They discuss why your effort directly equals your opportunities, why quality conversations matter more than call scripts, and why after working hard, you should never feel guilty about taking time off to recharge.

What they discuss:

🎯 Why the holiday period is actually an opportunity, not a dead zone
📞 The cold call approach: personality over scripts, questions over pitches
🎣 The fishing analogy (if you don't put a rod in the water, you catch zero fish)
❌ Knowing when to walk away from deals that aren't a fit
⚡ The Yerkes-Dodson curve: why you need positive pressure but also recovery
🏖️ The value of intentional time off and digital detoxing
✉️ A live LinkedIn DM to Jordan Belfort mid-episode

This is about mindset in sales, boundaries in work, and why showing up matters more than you think.

As always, enjoy, with your 'Quick Brew' ⏱️☕🎙️
