WHAT’S NEW

Let me ask you, what are you doing in your business today that is NEW to you?

Truth is that in the beginning of your career in our industry everything was new to you. It was frightening and exhilarating at the same time. You were green. You were raw. You were learning product knowledge, selling skills, supplier sourcing, negotiations, and much more.

Then you reach some level of success and got stuck at being comfortable enough with what was working ok enough. You stopped being green. You stopped learning new products and skills. You stopped experiencing the exhilaration of being in unchartered territory.

But the unchartered territory is where the next level of growth is for you. It is where the next level of exhilaration is for you.

So what is the unchartered territory that holds the key to your growth? Expanded product lines? Program selling? Technology solutions? Business growth through expanding your sales team? Acquisitions?

If you are ready to get to your next level of success, let me ask you, what’s new?
