Planning is key. Executing a plan is also key.
However, knowing when to pivot from a well thought out plan is critical to winning.
Not all plans will work out but having the ability to adjust and pivot towards a new direction will still earn you the goal, which is all that matters.

Surviving Outside Sales - Passive Vs. Active Selling w/ Mike O'Kelly | SOS Ep. 28
play

05/23/22 • 24 min

Selling can come in different forms, but the there is one that shines above the rest.
You can either be passive or active.
Passive: having the prospect or client make the first move.
Active: engaging prospect or client and pulling them towards the end goal that works for both.
There is no real contest here. For long term, consistent growth, you need an active selling strategy.

Surviving Outside Sales - Learn these things from the past sales leaders | SOS Ep. 110
play

09/16/22 • 11 min

To know where you are going you need to know where you came from.
I interviewed Ray O'Kelly (my father) yesterday and will release that interview in 3 parts next week.
He described the sales process as if he never left the sales world and demonstrated the power principles of sales that never change.
Be a solution maker and build strong relationships no matter what you may sell, and you will have a long career in sales.
