Summary

Welcome to another new week here on the Introspective. For today, we're going to talk about some things that are really going to challenge your discipline as an entrepreneur. These might be, for some, uncomfortable things in business especially if anybody has ever done this: cold calling. If you've ever had to go and do a cold call, it might feel tough especially when you feel like you're interrupting somebody's day. It can be really uncomfortable. But there’s no need to fear because today, ‘Sales Samurai’ John Molyneux is here on the Introspective to help us with that in our today’s deep dive!

John is a sales and martial arts expert with extensive experience in cold calling door-to-door and on the phones. With his extensive experience in cold calling, he has done hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales. He has sold a number of products and services, which he has done over the years. His incredible ‘Sales Samurai’ journey began in his 20’s when he served At Her Majesty's pleasure in the British Armed Forces. Even though he was not destined to be a soldier for the rest of his career, this experience set the stage for his entrepreneurial path to becoming the ‘Sales Samurai’. Not only does he have a successful and promising sales future, he is also a black belter in karate, a podcast host (Cold Calling and Closing Mastery), and a speaker. Sit back and relax as we listen to John regarding how we can make the sale!

What you’ll learn

Utilizing martial arts or any discipline to improve your sales

Overcoming the fear of sales and the fear of rejection

Why sales (prospecting, cold calling, closing the deal, etc.) is fun and not something to really worry about

Favorite Quote: Have that sheer determination to keep pushing and keep pushing, even when everything's against you. You just keep going.
