Close with Confidence. Lead with Care
This month, we’re exploring what it means to BE Brave in sales—showing up with curiosity, presence, clarity, and compassion. This week, we’re talking about: BE Brave – and committed. Can we finish now?
Some sales training programs define objections as buying signals—because objections reveal interest. If that’s true, then overcoming an objection should naturally lead to the next step: asking for the order.
But here’s where many sales fall apart.
Either the objection isn’t fully resolved, or t…

Being Scheduled: The Power of Appointments in Sales
For sales professionals everywhere
Being scheduled takes organization and structure to the next level. It’s about more than just having a to-do list—it’s about placing actions in time where they need to happen for both you and your clients.
When you schedule appointments, you create commitment, clarity, and momentum. You take control of the process instead of leaving follow-ups and next steps to chance. Appointments are an agreement between you and your client—a commitment to progress.
Why Sc…
Being Structured: The Support System for Success
For sales professionals everywhere
Being structured is about setting up systems that support action—so that what needs to happen actually happens. Structure isn’t limiting; it’s a foundation for success.
Think of a bridge—it provides support, stability, and a clear path forward. A calendar does the same for your time. A checklist keeps you on track. Without structure, even the best intentions can fall apart.
Why Structure is Essential
Some people resist structure because they associate it wi…
Being Organized: A Mindset for Efficiency
For sales professionals everywhere
Being organized isn’t about perfection—it’s about efficiency. Christina Scalize said it best: "Organizing isn’t about perfection; it’s about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money, and improving your overall quality of life."
At its core, being organized is a mindset. It’s about sorting data, actions, and tasks into meaningful categories, allowing you to work smarter, not harder. And the best part? There’s no single "right" way to do i…
Being Prepared for Success
For sales professionals everywhere
This month, the blog and webinar series are about Being Prepared—with BEING as the operative word.
Being prepared carries a state of mind of thoughtfulness and thinking ahead. It means considering current conditions in business and in your life that will impact the actions you take and the results you produce.
Being prepared coincides with being proactive, as they have a similar relationship to taking initiative. Last month, we talked about Being Intentional…
Being Intentional Takes Practice
All of this talk about intentionality can seem daunting at first. The idea of consistently focusing your energy and attention might appear exhausting. And maybe, at the very beginning, it is.
But consider this: intentionality is a practice, not perfection. It’s about bringing yourself fully into the present moment and becoming aware of what’s happening around you—the environment, the people, and the conditions—that might impact your actions and intentions.
The more you practice being present a…
Intentionality can be a game-changer
Have you ever noticed how elite athletes or performers prepare just before they take action? Whether it’s stepping onto the track or walking on stage, they all take a moment to breathe. They center themselves. They focus on what’s next, slowing everything down to concentrate fully on the intention of their next action.
In sales, this same intentionality can be a game-changer. It’s about slowing down and aligning every action with a purpose—whether it’s picking up the phone, greeting a new oppor…
