Do you ever feel that you are trying so hard for the sale and yet you never close? Do you ever feel that a prospective client keeps having more and more questions? Do you feel that the prospective client keeps asking you back to ‘chat’ more about the deal? Do you feel you don’t have control over your sales process?

If the answer is 'yes' to any of these questions then you are not alone! So many business owners are desperate for the sale that they constantly agree to more and more meetings, hoping that this one is the one where they sign the contract. But honestly how often does this happen?

I will give a prospective client two meetings and then that is enough. Any more and it starts going above the cost of acquisition that I am comfortable with. If I do go for a third meeting then my price has to go up to cover these additional costs. It is so important that you understand the full cost of the sale. From the petrol, you use to get to the client to the coffee that you buy. The time spent getting to the meeting to the handouts you leave. These are all costs that need to be recovered.

So the key is to know when enough is enough. To know when to not agree to another meeting, when to ask for the business or say that you are going to walk away. This is often hard because all we see is the potential upside but that upside is not as big as you may think.

In this podcast with TetraKey co-founder, Mark Hopkins, we will take this topic deeper to help you understand the true cost of the sales process and how to say 'no'. So if you are in sales or a business owner then this podcast may save you a lot of time and money!!

The lucky few get clarity about what the growth is and the really lucky few get to work and make the change they want. The reason we say lucky is really tongue in cheek. All of us have the opportunity to change, not all of us are brave enough to put the work in to do the change. However, when you do and you get to see the results then that is an awesome feeling! So do you want to hear the phrase ‘Man, you’ve changed’ or are you happy with who you are and what you are doing now. If you are interested in growing and living your life to the fullest then this episode is definitely for you.

In this podcast with TetraKey co-founder, Mark Hopkins, shares two stories about his recent hike in the mountains. The hike was for 5 days and they walked over 100km carrying a pretty heavy bag! The physically and mental challenges enabled Mark to reassess where he is, where he has come from and where he is heading.

This hike also took him through some of the most stunning scenery imaginable and also allowed him to see his progression over the last few years. He lets you into the journey he has been on and the impact it has had on him over the last few years. This impact has fundamentally changed how he lives his life and sees things. The journey started on the Otter Trail with the next phase in the Drakensberg Mountains. He is still on a journey but one that he is seeing progress.

Gratitude, to do lists, mindfulness, productivity - we are bombarded by articles to read and quotes around what we need to do. How we need to live, why we need to do certain things! We at TetraKey are passionate about giving people the support they need in order to achieve the goals that they want to.

But ask yourself why we need to hear all this. Why do we need to wake up and think of three things to be grateful for? Why can’t we just spend the day being grateful? We are living in a world where the future is more important than the present and yet we have little control over the future.

In this podcast TetraKey co-founder, Mark Hopkins, shares with you some fundamental questions around how we are currently living our lives and how this compares to the past. Do we want to accomplish more or love more.
