...despite difficulty or delay
Bill Farquharson
I make selling print/sign/label/promo easier, better, and more fun for people who can’t, won’t, or don’t know how.
Good morning!
I am not a natural born musician. I do not have a musical ear. But, I really want to learn how to play the guitar. So, I keep showing up to lessons. I keep practicing. Any success I achieve will primarily be due to my perseverance.
Do you want that big fish account? Keep showing up.
Want tighter abs? Keep sitting up.
New to sales and want initial success? Keep making the calls.
Want to win back a lost client? Keep bringing them new ideas.
Perseverance: persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
“Delay in achieving success.”
The problem is, you can't see your progress. Prospects don’t email you saying, “Just two more attempts and I will crack!”
I’ve long believed the guitar gods are preventing me from understanding music theory until I prove to them how much I am willing to work for it.
The sales gods are watching you as well. If you quit going after a prospect, you make their job easier for them...Read more or watch this week's Sales Tip by clicking this link: https://salesvault.pro/despite-difficulty-or-delay/

2 年I picked up the guitar over Covid. Can’t carry a tune in a bag but with some persistence and help from my boys I’m playing. It’s good to learn something challenging. Here’s our Tele wall. Also behind me in my meetings. Great talking point.

2 年So true Bill Farquharson. Work smart if you can but in the end hard work always pays off if you have the endurance to last. Seems like most things are possible with hard work and sacrifice. Thanks for your tips. They are always so helpful and timely.
