00:00:42.517 --> 00:00:43.877
So listen up, because I'm about
00:00:43.877 --> 00:00:47.357
to say something that's going to punch you right square in the crotch.
00:00:47.837 --> 00:00:51.177
Listen to me. You're not tired. You're not burnt out. You're not even unlucky.
00:00:51.497 --> 00:00:55.977
You're just not being intentional. I see it every freaking day with salespeople.
00:00:56.197 --> 00:01:00.077
Look, you're drifting. You're waking up every day with no real plan.
00:01:00.297 --> 00:01:04.597
You're hoping things work out instead of making things happen.
00:01:04.817 --> 00:01:08.797
And in sales, that kind of mindset just doesn't keep you average.
00:01:08.977 --> 00:01:11.717
Quite frankly, it makes you invisible. Now let's break this down.
00:01:11.997 --> 00:01:18.137
What does being intentional even mean? It means doing everything on purpose with purpose.
00:01:18.317 --> 00:01:21.177
And by the way, folks in life, you better have a damn purpose.
00:01:21.297 --> 00:01:22.557
Otherwise that's why you're drifting.
00:01:22.817 --> 00:01:27.197
All right. With purpose, it means you don't pick up the phone just to check
00:01:27.197 --> 00:01:29.257
the box, just so you can mark off a task.
00:01:29.257 --> 00:01:33.777
You pick it up with the intention to set the appointment, to move the needle,
00:01:33.877 --> 00:01:39.677
to get the customer on the showroom floor, quite frankly, to close the damn deal.
00:01:39.717 --> 00:01:44.037
It means you just don't walk out on a lot and wait. You hunt,
00:01:44.297 --> 00:01:48.697
you prepare, you attack the day. Ladies and gentlemen, you have to be intentional.
00:01:48.917 --> 00:01:54.277
Attack the day. Hey, most people in this business don't fail because they're bad at sales.
00:01:54.317 --> 00:01:58.537
They fail because they never took control of their own process.
00:01:58.697 --> 00:02:04.217
You have to follow the sales process and then you have to have your own process.
00:02:04.397 --> 00:02:09.677
That means you show up, you know, and you don't hope because hope is not a strategy.
00:02:09.837 --> 00:02:13.477
I did a whole podcast on that. So take a look back and listen to it.
00:02:13.777 --> 00:02:18.657
Hope is never a strategy. Being intentional means that you plan your day before
00:02:18.657 --> 00:02:20.417
it starts. Did you hear me?
00:02:20.537 --> 00:02:24.817
You plan the day before it starts, plan it before you leave work the day before,
00:02:24.817 --> 00:02:27.917
get up at the crack of ass and get stuff done.
00:02:28.357 --> 00:02:32.457
Stop sleeping in right before it's time to get into the shower and then you
00:02:32.457 --> 00:02:36.297
rush to work and then you always send those little text messages to your boss.
00:02:36.517 --> 00:02:39.797
Sorry, I'm going to be late again because that's character. Okay.
00:02:40.117 --> 00:02:42.217
That is your freaking character.
00:02:42.577 --> 00:02:44.917
Stop being late. I digress.
00:02:45.317 --> 00:02:46.957
Being intentional again means no.
00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:51.339
Plan the day before it starts. You speak with purpose.
00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:54.639
Do you hear purpose in my voice? You follow up with precision.
00:02:54.679 --> 00:03:01.859
You ask questions with a clear outcome in mind. You move like someone who's playing to win.
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.539
All right. Not like someone who's just hoping not to lose, man.
00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:09.819
That's a, that's a loser strategy right there. So here's the truth.
00:03:09.839 --> 00:03:12.819
If you're not being intentional, you're just simply
00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:15.839
reacting i know so many people that
00:03:15.839 --> 00:03:19.599
go through life every damn day reacting you're
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.459
not being you know intentional about what you're doing
00:03:22.459 --> 00:03:26.759
you don't plan your day you simply get up and you react to all the shit that's
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:31.759
hitting you in the face you're already behind intentionality is what separates
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.759
the pros from the posers the closers from the chasers the ones who dominate
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.499
this game from the ones who get eaten alive.
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.619
You want to build momentum? Be intentional.
00:03:45.119 --> 00:03:48.579
You want to close more deals? Be intentional.
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.759
You want to stop feeling stuck and start feeling powerful again?
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:58.679
Say it with me. Be intentional. I'm not here to babysit your excuses.
00:03:58.859 --> 00:04:05.299
I'm here to remind you that success doesn't show up by accident. It shows up when you do.
00:04:05.499 --> 00:04:12.339
On purpose, with fire, with clarity, with the guts to move like you mean it.
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.619
So here's your challenge. Tomorrow morning, before you do anything,
00:04:17.619 --> 00:04:21.939
you write down your three most important outcomes for the day.
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.459
Not hopes, not maybes, outcomes.
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.299
Then attack every part of your day like those outcomes owe you money,
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:38.119
like your life depends on it. No more drifting, no more waiting, no more damn autopilot.
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.899
Be intentional or be invisible.
00:04:41.179 --> 00:04:46.839
Really, it's your call. If you guys are with me, do this, and I'll see every
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.339
one of you killers out there at the top.
00:04:49.739 --> 00:04:54.839
Let's go out for the love of God and make it a great day.
