\\u2666\\ufe0fKEY TAKEAWAYS:\\xa0

We look at ourselves first before we look at any other factor.

Ask ourselves:

  • What could I have done differently?
  • What could I have done better next time?
  • What other questions should I have asked?
  • Could I have explained that differently?

I am seeing people not taking personal responsibility throughout the sales process time and time again.

Those of us that are self-aware can process those thoughts and start to turn them around.\\xa0


\\u2666\\ufe0f EPISODE QUOTES

"People who take personal responsibility really look inward first before blaming any external factors."

"People that are not taking personal responsibility will [...] never look inward and always make an assumption that the reason something hasn't worked out is a reason external to themselves."
