How do big hitters think?
How do big hitters prepare for the day?
How do big hitters act on the doors?

The answers to these three questions are the focus of this episode.

Everyone in the summer sales trenches knows that sales can be a treacherous battlefield. We all want to win, but some of us just can't figure it out like others do. This episode may come as a reality check to listeners, but it is actually intended to give you guidelines on how to think and act to perform your best this summer.

To my year round sales reps, now is the time to push. The summer is the best time to sell. Longer hours, more decision makers at home, higher electric bills/more bugs/more crime, regardless of your industry, now is the time. 

Decide today what you will commit to, and adapt an attitude of growth and winning. The summer will be as rewarding as you make it, so make it count.

“A lot of guys want to be the top rep, but they aren’t willing to do what the top rep does. Do you really want to be successful in sales, or do you just kinda want it? Zach shares that even though the pitch is the same at all companies, the reason he and his teams have gotten such extraordinary results is because they are willing to do what it takes to make their goals a reality. 

Often times we limit ourselves to our small thinking and don’t actually believe that we can be something great in the D2D space. Most reps don’t realise that they have the potential to be one of the GOAT’s, if only they were to fully apply themselves and surround themselves with those that are winning at the highest level.
