7/4/2025-Happy Independence Day

For Americans, today is a big celebration of independence. And if you’re not an American, today is still a good day to celebrate independence…sales independence.

Mostly, sellers are independent operators.

Sure, you work for a company, but it’s your territory…and your clients. And while you receive a regular paycheck, you make decisions independently of other influences.

Despite a few company mandates and select protocols, how you approach the nuances and details of selling to your list is pretty much up to you!

Here’s to independence!

Today, reflect and appreciate the power and privilege of your independence as a seller.

If you have a few BFFBs (BFF Buyers), send ’em a quick text today…throw in some exploding fireworks if you’re so moved.

Your customers may think you’re merely acting patriotically, but symbolically, you’re celebrating the freedom you feel and cherish about your sales career.

If you were expecting a link here to a stirring rendition of "Stars and Stripes Forever" (with exploding fireworks)…well…sorry to disappoint you.

Instead, allow Nathan’s hot dog-eating champ, Joey Chestnut, to gross you out with highlights of one of his epic July 4th wins.

Joey wasn’t in last year’s contest because – wait for it – there was a contract dispute with event sponsor Major League Eating (yup), over his partnership with Impossible Foods…a competitor to Nathan’s. (Uh-huh.)

Happy 4th.
