In this episode of the Leaderboard Podcast, Zach and Henry sit down with the CEO of M3 Insurance, Mike Victorson. During their discussion, Mike emphasizes the importance of asking questions and being curious in sales rather than making assumptions or prescribing solutions without first understanding the customer's needs.
In addition, Mike talks about the importance of having an infinite or abundance mindset in the highly competitive world of insurance brokering. He believes having an abundance mindset is crucial to playing a winnable game in business, as it allows individuals to focus on the bigger picture and not get bogged down by the wins and losses of individual battles. By adopting this mindset, individuals can approach their work with a sense of purpose and optimism, which can help them to achieve their goals and overcome obstacles.
"Even if you think you didn't do it right, whether it's work or family or life, it's never too late to lean into getting it right." - Mike Victorson
