Are YOU coachable? Embracing a mindset of receptiveness can unlock limitless potential in both your professional endeavors and personal growth! 🌐💼 This snippet comes from an individual who is not a client and doesn't pay for our services, just a young man I met on an airplane who mentioned he was starting a new sales career. I'll take every opportunity to spend time with people who are hungry to be better, especially ones who are already committed to leaning into their growth path. Have a listen and tell me if your perspective toward coachability shifts in any way. Are you as coachable as you say you are? Here is to being honest with ourselves about what truly matters! 🎙️🤔 #CoachabilityMatters #UnlockPotential #ProfessionalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #BeCoachable #OpenToLearning #MindsetShift #CommitToGrowth #HonestSelfReflection #ContinuousImprovement #ListenAndLearn

Remember that failure is an event, not a person... . . . This is an excellent quote by Zig Ziglar which really got me thinking about how we can REFRAME rejection in sales To all the coaches out there—remember that failure is just an event — it doesn't define you as a person. When you hear "No" from a potential client or face a setback, THAT is our it's simply an opportunity to learn and grow. Instead of thinking, "I'm a failure," let's REFRAME that to "That didn't work out AND I can learn from it." This subtle shift in mindset makes a world of difference. What WE all need to really get is that when a potential client says "No," what they may ACTUALLY be saying is "I don't KNOW enough." and THAT is a great opportunity to review your offer. Perhaps they don't fully understand the value, or how your services can help them. It's an opportunity to educate, inspire, and connect with them on an even deeper level. If there is ONE Takeaway - it is this: failure and rejection are simply stepping stones on the path to success. WE CAN and WILL bounce back faster and stronger in the right community and environment, like the one we have here at Selling In Alignment. Here, we support, uplift, and help each other navigate the ups and downs of the coaching journey—to say it's magical is an understatement. let's rack up the NO's so we get to keep learning and keep shining brighter and brighter! #KeepPushing #MindsetMatters #CoachingSuccess #SellingInAlignment #Sales

Process, skillset and mindset are the areas I focus on when coaching sales people - but which is the most important in sales? Clearly you need processes and they should be clear and repeatable, so if all your sales people are struggling with something, then you should look at the process and fix it - but if there are individuals struggling with a process, then maybe it’s a skillset issue? Skillsets can usually be addressed with training, showing how the process works and giving the skills to do it consistently, however some people may still struggle and this could be due to most critical areas in my opinion = mindset. If there is a mindset issue then it makes everything harder, as learning the process or adopting the skillset will be a struggle if you have limiting beliefs. Fixed mindsets struggle to take feedback, adopt new ideas and deal with challenges.  A growth mindset enables you to develop, by embracing challenges, persisting in the face of setbacks, welcoming feedback and learning from your mistakes. Life comes at you fast in sales and every interaction presents an opportunity to learn, improve and grow. I remember learning to ride a bike as a child and it was such an alien experience compared to walking. I was okay with the stabilisers on and recall crashing into a lamp post the first day they came off! But I kept pedalling, cleaning myself up when I fell off, taking inspiration from BMX Action Bike magazine and finding a way to keep improving. My skillset was limited, but I believed I could be the next Bob Haro which kept me going - and I clearly looked the part! So what do you think is most important? #sales #mindset #growth #coaching

If you're looking for a coach to help you elevate your sales career you'd be forgiven for looking for a coach who reinforces your belief in what you can do. And if that's what you're looking for then I'm not the coach for you because my approach isn't about empty cheerleading. If your sales career has hit a roadblock because as an introvert you feel at a disadvantage, and that leads you to doubt yourself, you don't need more "I can", you need less "I can't". When people work with me I compassionately work with them to quieten their inner critic so those "I can't" narratives slowly melt away. When you're ready send me a DM and let's talk. #womeninsales #introvert #sales #careerdevelopment

Yep. Thanks Heather. Alignment of our intention with our attention is key. Many of us don’t think about or see this. Some take it for granted. But without obvious clarity, focus and alignment, we risk running in multiple directions at once. This makes progress and traction difficult, as it makes it difficult for others to relate to us and what we stand for, and who we are. Clarity, focus and alignment. This can lead to a personal or professional congruence which is undeniable. #clarity #focus #alignment #multipleperspectives #selfawareness #personalbranding #communication #influencing

The Power of Commitment and Consistency in Persuasion People naturally desire to stay consistent with their words, beliefs, and actions. This tendency is valuable because: Society values personal consistency. It simplifies decision-making. It creates shortcuts in managing life’s complexities. Once someone commits, they’re more likely to act consistently with it. Professionals often secure a small initial agreement that paves the way for bigger actions. Here is a note and a case study on motivating yourself with a simple strategy. #sales #salestraining #training #learninganddevelopment

You only perform consistently with how you see yourself conceptually.😳 Your role performance is likely to vary over time, based on any number of factors. Your value as a human doesn’t vary. We all perform countless roles ... business professional, parent, golfer, cook, gardener. When something goes wrong, or you’ve not met your own expectations, we often devalue our self-worth. For instance, if you blow a presentation, your golf ball lands in the rough, or you burn dinner, we may let our self-worth drop🔻to a 2 instead of 10. If we let instances like these build up in our mind, we may start believing we don’t deserve success. That mindset is risky. ⚠️ Suddenly you become an At-Leaser. We tell ourselves, “At least my ball didn’t go in the water.” This thinking can become the norm and prevent you from performing at the level you are capable of. 🚀 Obstacles and setbacks are just circumstances that do not affect your self-worth. 🎖️As a person you are still a 10. It’s up to you to eliminate the head trash and self-limiting beliefs. #sales #salesmindset #success Sandler by The Ruby Group, LLC.

Struggling to ignite a spark in your sales team? Let's dissect the subtle, yet powerful differences between motivation and inspiration, and how harnessing both can propel your team to action. Motivation is the internal drive that pushes us to achieve our goals. It's the carrot dangled before us, often tied to rewards or the fear of consequences. But here's the kicker: motivation can be fleeting, a temporary push that needs constant replenishing. On the flip side, inspiration is that profound 'aha' moment. It's less about what we 'have to do' and more about what we 'aspire to be'. It's the wind beneath our wings, often sparked by powerful stories, visions of what could be, or the infectious passion of others. So, how do we move our sales team to action? It's a dance between motivation and inspiration. Start by setting clear, achievable goals - these are your motivational checkpoints. But don't stop there. Share success stories, paint a picture of the bigger impact of their work, and be the embodiment of the passion you want to see. This is where inspiration takes the lead. Remember, motivation might get your team moving, but inspiration will keep them soaring. It's about creating an environment where they feel part of something greater than themselves, where each sale isn't just a transaction, but a step towards a grander vision. Let's chat in the comments below about what inspires you in your work.
