If you are a human being with a heartbeat, the ability to fog a mirror by breathing on it, and in possession of a work email address you were foolish enough to use to fill out a form on a website, then you are in someone’s prospecting sequence. You are likely in dozens of sequences, few of which are relevant, many being nothing less than an automated, brute force form of persistence.

Pay attention to successful people, and you’ll find one single attribute they share in common. That single attribute is “hunger.” We have a lot of words used to describe the concept of hunger, like driven, ambitious, hustle , and intrinsic motivation. The root cause of hunger for success is “wanting,” it’s “desire.” There was a woman who worked for me some time ago.

When you start in sales, you need deals. One deal is as good as another deal, a perspective that is helpful because you cannot learn to sell without actually selling. As you progress in gaining sales acumen, you also acquire the business acumen and the situational knowledge necessary to winning bigger deals. You need to start targeting bigger deals, working your way up to monster deals, the opportunities that move the needle for your client, your company, and you personally.

Your prospective clients are always going to ask you if you can provide them with a lower price. Their obligation to their company is to select the right partner while also controlling their costs, not paying more than is necessary.

Over time, the price you charge your client is inadequate, no longer allowing you to create the value they’ve come to expect from you. All of the inputs you invest in to serve them increase over time, and at some point, you have to raise your prices, just like your client raises their rates. No one is thrilled to pay more, but they must, and you must obtain a price increase.

In business, there is both positive and negative friction. The positive friction allows for the type of conflict that moves individuals to challenge the status quo and engage in conversations about what the company might do differently now or in the future. Negative friction is the conflict that occurs under the surface, with the resistance quietly hidden from sight, often by people who have already decided to do something different even though it conflicts with the strategies and decisions the
