Why Most Salespeople Are Playing the Wrong Game
Ever notice how some salespeople seem to effortlessly close deals while others grind endlessly with little to show for it? The difference isn't talent or luck-it's understanding what game you're actually playing. Sales isn't about convincing people to buy things they don't need. It's about building relationships, uncovering genuine needs, and positioning yourself as the obvious solution. The real secret? Your mindset shapes everything that follows. Walk into a meeting believing you'll fail, and your body language shifts, your voice wavers, and prospects sense the doubt instantly. Confidence isn't arrogance-it's the unshakable belief that your offering genuinely helps people. This foundation determines whether you'll spend your career chasing commissions or building a fortune through lasting partnerships.
