What it means to be a true professional
On this date in 1998, professional baseball player Cal Ripken, Jr., willingly ended his streak of 2,632 consecutive games played, breaking Lou Gehrig's 56-year streak.
The drivers behind Cal's success were persistence, consistency – and playing hurt. He literally didn't take a day off.
On those days when you think you have nothing in the tank, search for that extra gear!
If Cal can play 16 SEASONS (!!!) without skipping a game, you can get on the sales field every day too.
Do
Outhit your competitors…incrementally
Apply your newfound appreciation for consistency to prospecting.
If you let out a little groan this morning when you saw you had scheduled a 30-minute prospecting block, go ahead and slap yourself gently on the cheek. DO it.
Next, put another prospecting block on your calendar for tomorrow. And Friday. And every day next week! (You still haven't gotten close to Cal.)
Consistent residency in the TOP 10% of the sales standings means consistent DOing.
Oomph
