Serena Williams had a Plan D
Skill

Few practiced more and better

Tomorrow is Serena Williams's birthday…she was born in 1981 in Saginaw, MI. With her powerful style of play, she revolutionized women's tennis and won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, one behind Margaret Court and Novak Djokovic.

So why should you celebrate Serena's birthday today?

'Cuz she's an all-out WINNER.

If you were fortunate to watch Serena annihilate her opponents year after year, you appreciated her greatness, skill, and mental fortitude.

But her maniacal dedication to practice separated her from others.

Do

Don't expect to execute unless you practice

Today, practice your next big pitch.

How are you going to reply when the client says…

1. “How are you differentiated versus the others we're talking to?”

2. “We're not convinced we need to change vendors at this time.”

3. “Budgets are tight, and we're not adding partners.”

4. “Thanks…”

Thanks?

What is the buyer thanking you for? What do you say after you finish your brilliant pitch and your buyer mutters, "thanks"?

Be ready for it!
