Key Quotes;
"To inspire, to see people motivated and engaged and excited about trying new sales activities and seizing opportunities and doing the right things for their business, for their revenue, for their families. Right? That's why most of us start businesses."00:10:4500:11:01
"The market has shifted politically and economically which means that, with more redundancies come more people who are freelancing or going into freelancing and will be trying to sell their own consulting coaching services back into companies they already worked with. Which will mean more competition for people like you, who have been trying to sell to corporate." 00:23:5400:24:18
"If you're somebody who is incredibly self motivated, driven, knows that once you've got the strategies and techniques, you're really, really good at making that time to implement, then the self study is absolutely for you.” 00:34:3500:34:49
“If you're somebody who is feeling overworked, overwhelmed and you want to be working with organisations in a strategic or a more long term, higher price point way, you want to be thinking about sales mindset and how you can create a more predictable pipeline so that you're not actually worried, or having that kind of fear around losing clients because you raise your rates or because you set boundaries with them. Instead work on that resilience piece and put in place practical pipeline driving methods that are going to help you sign sales on repeat where you don't have to worry about them." 00:45:4900:46:28
"So if your sales are taking longer than that to go through, particularly if they're lower than a 100k, you have a sales problem or part of your sales process isn't working as it should."00:41:4600:41:57
