Episode Overview
Back in episode 186, Gina asked the question – Do You Have Sales Swagger? Today Gina and Jeff talk about how to keep and increase that swagger through knowing what parts of the sales process are important to control and what parts you need to let go of.
Jeff wisely states that sales require the transfer of emotion and enthusiasm. It’s the tension that makes a sale. Another tension is being emotionally engaged with your client or prospect while also being disengaged from the outcome, knowing that there will always be wins and losses.
They also discuss Stoicism, how the obstacle is the way, being an authority over a situation but still not know where it’s going, balancing the focus of your sales process, that big egos bite you, the advantage of working with a team, problem solving in new ways, and when you decide what to control and what not to – magic happens.
