Now that you’ve made a little space in your day by STOPPING this week, let’s focus on a simple yet powerful commitment: Spend just 15 minutes each day enhancing your sales skills.
You heard it right, only 15 minutes!
While investing more time is commendable, aiming too high can sometimes lead to doing nothing at all. A consistent, manageable 15-minute daily commitment is more likely to become a habit, and you might even find yourself happily extending it once you get started.
Choose from Diverse Learning Options
- Read: Not a fan of lengthy books? Opt for bite-sized learning through blogs, news articles, or even LinkedIn headlines to spark your curiosity and lead you to deeper topics.
- Watch: Dive into a world of knowledge with YouTube or TikTok videos. A quick search for ‘inside sales’ will keep you busy for a while, offering insights from many experts (please make sure they’re really experts).
- Listen: Turn your commute into a learning session. Audiobooks, podcasts, etc. can be a great way to absorb new information without squeezing your schedule.
Learn from Others
Conduct brief interviews with colleagues to discover their success tips, learn from their failures, and uncover inspiring stories. You’ll be surprised at the wealth of knowledge that exists within your own team.
