Ever heard how Leonardo da Vinci landed his first big gig? This story is wild.
Back in the 1500s, the Duke of Milan was hiring talented individuals.?
It was basically the Renaissance version of getting drafted to the NFL. Everyone and their artistic uncle wanted in on this gig.
But young Leo knew sending another boring application would get him nowhere fast.?
So, what did this crazy genius do?
Instead of mailing his resume and crossing fingers, he rolled up straight to the Duke’s court with a busted lute (fancy old-timey guitar thing).
Here's where it gets good...
Rather than just fixing it, he promised to transform this piece of junk into something magical.?
Intrigued by the bold claim, the Duke decided to give him a shot…
And Leo came back with a silver-stringed masterpiece shaped like a horse's head that played like nothing anyone had ever heard before.
Game. Set. Match.
The Duke hired him on the spot. Out of hundreds of applicants, Leo won because he dared to think outside the box.
He didn't just solve a problem. He created an experience the Duke couldn't forget.
This story hits home for me because it highlights exactly what most folks are missing in sales today...
Rebel, people you are serving do not need another boring sales robot…
They need an experience.?
They need someone who'll make them sit up and say, "Well, that's different!"
It’s simple…
Do what everyone else is doing, and you’ll get ignored.
Do what the Rebels are doing, you will Change the Game and reap the rewards.
It’s up to you to choose to be the difference in the lives of those you seek to serve.
And that's exactly what I share in my email newsletter…
Every few days, I hook you up with creative sales strategies, stories, ideas, and rants that'll make you stand out like a horse-headed lute in a room full of regular instruments.

Much love,
