Simple doesn’t always mean easy. Take making sales calls—it sounds simple, but when you add in constant rejection and the challenge of hitting 75-150+ calls daily, it’s a lot tougher. The same is true in sports, relationships, and nearly every area of life. Nothing worth having comes easy. Success often comes down to the ability to consistently show up; that’s where the line is drawn between good and great.

What does running have to do with sales? It's all about endurance. The long game while taking care of the short one. Conquering a 15-mile run in brutal heat teaches you resilience and d preparation much like cold-calling prospects or handling tough objections. The key? Let the conversation flow naturally, just like your pace on a long run. Don't push too hard or fight against the resistance. In today’s scorcher, like many before, I paused every 5-6 miles for a cooldown with an ice-cold washcloth and stayed hydrated. During the week before the run and during. That’s the short game. It’s all about preparing and pacing—whether you’re on the boards running or on the phone calling. #marathonrunner #IRunAndSellNJ #MyTrusted732Realtor

Greatness isn’t about never fumbling; it’s about picking the ball back up and turning a mistake into a win. Sales is a lot like football—you’re playing hard, everything’s going according to plan, and then, boom, the ball slips through your fingers. In that split second, it feels like it’s all over. But here’s the thing. We all drop the ball in sales sometimes—unanswered emails, missed opportunities, rejections…. But what matters is how we respond. Just like in football, it’s not about the fumble, it’s about the recovery. The real pros know how to bounce back, adapt, and score when it counts. Keep running, no matter how many times you drop the ball. #ResilienceInSales #SalesMindset #BounceBack

No matter how poorly you start off, maybe you feel like the score is an almost unsurmountable 0-1, remember your talent, work hard, and you too may just score in the last kicks of the game. Thanks #England for showing off the metaphorical "one more call" mentality that is often associated by winners. Join me later as we talk a little bit more about how it's important when things are going south(gate) to remember to change tactics, Test different Outreach formations, and make sure your creative players (TAA) have a platform to bring in some new energy. #football #prospecting #coldcalls #SDR

Find someone to push you to new heights. Kobbie Mainoo gave us some insight into how he has risen so meteorically. 2024 was huge for him: ⭐ January - Man Utd POTM  ⭐ February - 1st Premier League Goal  ⭐ March - England debut ⭐ May - FA Cup Winner  ⭐ July - Euro 2024 Finalist  ⭐ October - 3rd in Kopa Trophy  ⭐ November - Honouree at GQ Men of The Year We sat down with him to get advice for thousands of young footballers who dream of achieving a fraction of what he has already done by the age of 18. If you want to be the very best at something, you need to be obsessed and beyond dedicated. Having a level of competition with one of your peers to drive results will help so much in any industry - whether it’s a fellow entrepreneur, someone on the sales floor, or a teammate on the training pitch. Kobbie’s insights were on point and way in advance of his 19 years of age. We covered dealing with setbacks, mastering your craft and mixing it with the GOATs such as CR7 and more. It's clear he's got a level of humility and intelligence that's hard to find at that age. The advice he gave was concise and simple yet effective and inspirational. I am excited to see what he does in 2025 💫

"Act like you've been there before." 🏈 This phrase always reminds me of Barry Sanders - score a touchdown, hand the ball to the ref. No fuss, just doing the job you're paid to do. In the world of sales, this mentality is crucial. Whether facing defeat or success, maintain your composure. Here's why it matters: 1. Consistency builds trust. Your clients need a steady hand guiding them through their decision-making process. 2. Emotional stability helps you make better decisions. In a field full of ups and downs, clear thinking is invaluable. 3. Long-term success comes from "straightening the curves and flattening the hills." Don't get too high on the wins or too low on the losses. 📈 Remember, sustainable growth in sales isn't about flashy celebrations or dramatic lows. It's about showing up, doing the work, and being a reliable partner for your clients - day in and day out. Let's be real - all salespeople struggle with this. Even after years in sales, I can still find myself riding the emotional rollercoaster. It's a constant practice, not a destination. #Sales #SalesStrategy #OVDCannabis #OVDInsurance

In both athletics and sales, relationships are everything. Building a strong network not only opens doors but creates lasting partnerships. Whether on the field or in the boardroom, genuine connections can take you further than you ever imagined. #network #connections #sales #tuesday #keepstriving
