Without you knowing, you could be trying to close them on the first call, giving all the information to a solution without knowing the problem. Slow yourself down. Give enough information to build enough interest to set a meeting and get into your sales process. 2/2
Are you having trouble setting a meeting with a prospect? It could be because you're giving away too much information during your first interaction. You're not giving them a reason to meet with you. You're not building their interest. 1/2 #earholeassassin#sportsbiz#sportssales
I constantly remind myself that I need to ask and let them make the decision of yes or no, rather than not asking and making the decision for them. 2/2 #earholeassassin#sportsbiz#sportssales#sales
The last time I checked, I don't read minds. I don't know what the prospects/partner's answer is to the question. I don't know if they would be interested in upgrading their package or doing something more. I don't know what they'd say, so why not ask and find out? 1/2
Rome was not built in a day. It took time. We're all a work in progress, trying to be the best versions of ourselves. Stop being so hard on yourself that you made a mistake or you're not where you want to be. You'll get there. If not today, then tomorrow #earholeassassin
Stop worrying about the big idea you will pitch to the prospect when you haven't talked to them yet. Worry about setting a meeting and the next steps that follow. I see too many people wasting their time and energy on ideas that never pan out. #earholeassassin#sportssales
If you don't believe, then why should the prospect? If you're iffy about it not being a good fit, or not showing a return, or not fixing their problem, then why are you calling them?
Believe that you can be their solution. Speak with confidence!

I’m all about the copy and paste email, don’t get me wrong, but before you hit send… make sure everything is in the same FONT and SIZE!
A quick CTRL + A will only help you.
I believe at times we give up to early. If a prospect isn't getting back to us, or if we're leaving voicemail after voicemail, we take their silence as a NO. 1/3 #earholeassassin
Silence doesn't mean NO, it could mean they have a lot on their plate, that we're not the top priority, that they're thinking about it. In my experience, I have been thanked more for continuing to reach out than I have been scolded for it 2/3
Be accountable, take responsibility, address the situation head-on, and move forward. By being accountable you can strengthen the partnership because it shows that you care. Be accountable. 3/3
In my opinion, partnerships aren't ruined by mistakes. Partnerships are ruined by how they are handled. If something goes wrong and instead of bringing it up and addressing it, 1/3 #earholeassassin
you try to sweep it under the rug hoping they won't notice or play the blame game saying it wasn't your fault blah blah blah ... this is how partnerships are ruined. 2/3
I heard this quote on TikTok the other night, and since then, I've been thinking about it a lot. (I wish I could give credit for the quote, but I forgot who said it). People will call you success luck, but you know the work you put into it #earholeassassin#sportsbiz#sportssales
