Morning all,
This week has been an epic journey of travelling to lots of familiar stores and catching up with old faces, as well as going to some places I have never been before and meeting some incredible teams that I have been able to engage with.
The passion that some of the sales colleagues have as well as some of the knowledge we have been able to share between us has been awesome.
Home stretch today before the weekend, lets close the week out strong 👍🏻👌🏻🤟🏻😁

The Final Hour: A Story of Perseverance, Teamwork, and Achieving the Impossible
Yesterday was the last day of the month, and the pressure was immense. We were chasing a significant sales target, one that seemed almost unreachable. As the day wore on, my team and I remained focused and motivated, but as the final hour approached, doubt started to creep in. The gap was too wide, and my calculations told me that we could only reach 99% of our target – just 1% short of success.
At 9:30 PM, with the store closing time set for 10 PM, I began to accept this reality. I drafted a message, ready to send, acknowledging that we had achieved 99% of our goal and explaining the reasons for falling just short. I even composed an email to management, requesting that they consider our effort as 100% for incentive purposes, given how close we had come.
But something in me wasn’t ready to give up. Instead of resigning to the outcome, I went back to the sales floor. There were just 15 minutes left, but I knew we still had a chance. I gathered my team, and together we dug deep. I reminded them of how far we’d come and how close we were. We just needed one final push.
What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary. With renewed energy, my team gave it everything they had. And then, just as I had almost given up hope, sitting on the couch, I heard a shout from across the floor. My team was clapping and cheering – we had done it! We had reached our target. That last-minute surge of determination had made the impossible, possible.
This experience taught me a powerful lesson: no matter how bleak the situation may seem, as long as there’s time on the clock, there’s still hope. Motivation, teamwork, and sheer willpower can carry you across the finish line, even when you think you can’t make it.
I’m incredibly proud of my team for their unwavering dedication and belief. Together, we turned a moment of doubt into a moment of triumph.

“You are always so prepared, I wish I could be more like you.”
.
My colleagues and leaders at Vendasta regularly complement me on how organized and on top of things I am. While I wish I could say that it is easy, keeping everything straight when you work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment can really throw a wrench in your plans.
But all the same, it is an even stronger argument to get organized. Here’s what I do to stay on top of my tasks, always meet deadlines, and improve the productivity of my work and my meetings:
1. I write everything I need to do in a week down on a list.
2. I add meeting notes to every meeting for myself and others to collaborate on.
3. I check things off as soon as I complete them.
4. I set realistic deadlines and am transparent when things might take more time.
5. When I pass along a project/task to another team member, I make it very easy for them to pick up where I left off.
6. I take a full lunch every single day away from my desk and leave at 5 pm every night.
7. I don’t worry about what is coming up next week, I trust I will plan things out right on Monday.
It’s all about discipline and commitment to yourself. You would be surprised what taking 10 minutes in the morning to plan out your day, and five minutes before a meeting can do for your work and your confidence.

Thrilled to take a break from the sales hustle and enjoy some quality time with friends on vacation! 🛫
In the fast-paced world of sales, it's crucial to step away, reset, and reconnect with what matters most.
Whether it's swapping stories on the golf course or exploring new adventures together, these moments not only rejuvenate our spirits but also sharpen our focus and creativity when we return to the grind. ⛳️
I'm grateful for the opportunity to recharge and come back even more energized to tackle challenges and build relationships. Here's to making unforgettable memories and returning with renewed focus! ⚡️⚡️
