Sales in a day.
Every day.
That’s how often I think about it.
Because I love it.
And that's the point.
If you love it, it's easy.
I don't think everyone should be in sales.
Just like anything, it's not for everybody.
But if you love:
People,
Activity,
moving forward,
Winning,
Losing,
Fun,
Money,
Highs,
Lows.
Yup, that's the point about sales -
It can't be that you just like the good stuff,
You have to like both sides of it,
as the poetry often says.
‘If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.’
Because that's what it is.
Sales is life.
It is a perfect metaphor.
Because you really don't know.
Sure, you can get better.
But you have to be willing to know that it doesn't always work out.
Even with a perfect pitch.
That's what's so beautiful about it,
Every day is a mystery,
every day is new,
every day is a theatre.
How good is that?
for the love of sales,
and only for the love of sales.
Get smilin,
get dialin,
get busy sellin.

Content of the week:
This week I'm being selfish.
I'm sending you content that I love.
It's not sales, but it's life.
It's a film about running.
But I think it perfectly encapsulates what sales and what life is.
I send it to you as I'm one week out from the biggest race of my life,
and this film continues to inspire me.
Enjoy.
