I AM A #PLAYMAKER
Mike Taylor and I were chatting and trying to determine what is our tribe? Who are we? Who are the people that join us? We started throwing different names around that we thought people could identify with but also fit with the idea of being against traditional sales. We came across this quote from Steve Jobs:
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
"That's it!" We thought...what is the name for people like that in sales...
Mike was the first one to say it and it caught on like fire. Playmakers! Playmakers make plays and they use Playbooks to achieve greatness in sales. #BOOM. We created a shirt, renamed, the podcast and started running.
