Growth Mindset Sales

Your sales pipeline shows your habits. I’ve had times where my own pipeline dried up—not because of bad luck, not because of the economy, but because I wasn’t doing the work. No excuses. No shortcuts. The problem was me. If your pipeline is weak, ask yourself: -Are you making enough calls? -Are you setting enough meetings? -Are you following up the way you should? Sales is EARNED, not given. Do the work, or accept the results. #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesDiscipline #ExecutionMatters

Are you a camper or a climber? Campers stay where they are. It’s safe, it’s easy, and it doesn’t challenge them. Climbers push forward, take action, and keep going even when things get tough. The climb isn’t easy, but staying stuck is harder. Sales success is simple—but it’s not easy. The question is: Which one are you? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesMindset

Struggling in sales? Look at your behavior, not just your strategy. A CEO told me his team wasn’t creating new opportunities. The issue wasn’t the market, the training, or the competition—it was simple: they weren’t doing the work. You can have the best sales process, but if you’re not tracking your activity and holding yourself accountable, nothing moves forward. An empty pipeline isn’t bad luck—it’s bad habits. Are you actually doing the work, or just hoping for results? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesAccountability #ExecutionMatters

If you want better sales results, start with your cookbook. A sales team I worked with wasn’t creating new opportunities. The problem wasn’t their strategy—it was their activity. They weren’t making the calls, attending events, or asking for referrals. No matter how good your sales process is, if you don’t do the behaviors, you won’t get the results. Track your activity, stay consistent, and use your cookbook to build your pipeline. So, what’s one behavior you’re committing to today? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesDiscipline #BuildingPipeline

Many leaders believe experience makes them better—but what if it’s making you worse? Studies show that experienced managers often overestimate their abilities. Instead of learning, they trust old patterns and ignore new perspectives. If you never ask, “What if I’m wrong?”, you could be making decisions based on assumptions instead of facts. Being a leader isn’t about having the most experience; it’s about having the most self-awareness. Are you questioning your own thinking, or just relying on what has worked in the past? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #LeadershipBlindSpots #ChallengeYourself

Are you truly listening, or just waiting to talk? Leaders often believe they are self-aware, but research suggests that experience can actually make self-awareness worse over time. The more power we have, the less likely we are to challenge our own thinking. This week, try something different: Pause before responding. Give the other person space to finish. Ask more questions. Find out what you’re missing. Get feedback. Ask your team, “What’s something I don’t see about myself?” Great leadership isn’t about always being right—it’s about always being willing to learn. #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #LeadershipSkills #ContinuousImprovement

Giving a potential customer more data won’t guarantee a sale. I’ve seen sales teams struggle because they rely on spreadsheets and PowerPoint slides, thinking that more information makes them more persuasive. But that’s not how people make decisions. People buy when they can see themselves in the solution. If your sales process doesn’t include real stories that create an emotional connection, you’re giving your prospect reasons to think instead of reasons to act. Are you presenting information, or are you telling stories that motivate action? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesTransformation #SalesCoaching

Too many salespeople let their company decide if they get the training they need. One of my clients refused to do that. He knew his sales skills wouldn’t improve on his own. Instead of making excuses, he took control and paid for the training himself. Now, his results are better than he ever expected. If he had waited, he might still be stuck in the same place, missing out on opportunities to close more deals. How long will you keep waiting while others get ahead? #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #SalesTraining #InvestInYourself #ProfessionalGrowth

The best salespeople aren’t just sellers—they’re storytellers. You might have the perfect pitch and sharpest data, but if your message doesn’t create an emotional connection, people won’t remember it. Most people make decisions with their hearts first and then justify them with logic. A great story makes your solution feel real. It helps your prospect picture success in a way facts and figures never will. This week, improve one of your sales stories. Does it focus on emotion or just facts? The answer could change your results. #GrowthMindset #GrowthMindsetSales #Storytelling #SalesSuccess

With so much automation, real connections are getting harder to find. But here’s the truth—people still buy from people. If you rely only on AI, you might be missing the personal connection that builds trust and closes deals. At the Sandler Summit on April 2-3, I’ll be speaking on “AI Meets EQ: Building Real Connection in a Digital World.” I’ll share how to use AI without losing authenticity, so you can stand out, build stronger relationships, and win more business. Don’t let technology take over—learn how to use it the right way. ??
