Sales is a team sport Choose your team mindfully

The Olympics opening ceremony is this Friday. The number of events has changed over the years, but there is still one particular aspect of the competition and its competitors that always intrigues me … the desire to win. The athletes are there to compete and WIN. No one with a chance of winning an Olympic gold medal simply goes just to compete. I can guarantee you, every single one of those athletes has the pure intention of winning. They train all their lives for this one shot at doing one thing … winning. All the endorsement money, accolades, national pride, etc. are procured through one thing … winning. I’ve always thought of sales in the same way when I envision success. I’m here to win.  To me, “winning” in sales is to own my territory. I want to be the “go-to” person for the entire territory for whatever it is I’m representing. I’ve carried this attitude of winning through 19 years, 3 different industries, and 4 different companies (one of which my own), and it has brought me much success. There is no money, company awards, fancy car, etc. if you don’t work hard enough to do the one thing that matters … win. What is your concept of “winning”?

FootJoy sales down slightly as Titlelist drives growth at Acushnet Sports group Acushnet Company has reported revenues of just under $2 billion for the first nine months of 2023, an increase of almost 10% year on year.

Business: "Our product / service / club is one of the best" Customer: "That's nice...never heard of you" This is why brands fail: 'cos nobody knows who you are and nobody cares about your fancy features. Make people feel something. But more importantly, how on earth is the English Premiership in this much of a state that not even "rugby fans" can name two thirds of the remaining ten clubs. #marketing #brand #business #rugby

So the PGA Masters tournament is typically played on a nice, beautiful Augusta, Ga Golf Course.... But this Masters tourney went down right here on Linkedin Live Today!! Much thanks to Giano Fiore 🟣 for hosting and Nooks sponsoring Thanks to all who participated, My VICTORIOUS teammates, Wayd and 🦖Chelbea Bart🚀 OF COURSE, it goes with saying, HATS OFF to our fearless leader, 🔥 Tom Slocum (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 "𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴" 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘛𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴... 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘒𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘱??

I hope some of those who saw the event, or are relistening to it, can learn some things that could help them get better at their outreach, even if its one word, that you thought was a game changer for you... To impact even one person out there in any way, then we accomplished what we set out for with this event And if you are reading this post contest and didnt get a chance to see this live cold calling competition as it happened, dont fret, there are several more in the works... i.e. Phonathon at the end of the quarter, and Salesfinity and Mavlonbek Muratov are putting together the MORTAL KOMBAT of cold calling competitions and I have already claimed RAIDEN as my avatar. SO COME GET IT!!!! #conversationconverters #coldcaller4L #outcomes #activations #abh #livecoldcalls #chillycalls #sdrinsider #brand30 #salesdevelopment
