Time to Ditch That Dusty Sales Habit
If your sales routine were a closet, what would we find in there?
Let me guess — a stack of “go-to” lines from 2014, a few tired objections you still pretend to be surprised by, and that one email template you keep recycling like it’s fine wine (newsflash: it’s boxed at best).
Friend, it’s time for a little sales spring cleaning.
Take a Hard Look in the Sales Mirror
- When was the last time you rewrote your opening line?
- Are you asking the same old tired questions — and wondering why the answers are just as dull?
- Still relying on that “Just checking in” follow-up?
It’s not judgment. It’s just… if your talk tracks feel automatic, your prospects probably feel that too. And if you’re bored? They’re already asleep.
Toss What’s Not Working
Spring cleaning isn’t about torching your whole process. It’s about clearing space for what actually works now — not what worked “back when.”
Try this:
Pick one piece of your sales routine to chuck in the bin this week.
- Maybe it’s that “touching base” nonsense.
- Maybe it’s your three-paragraph intro email.
- Maybe it’s starting every voicemail with “I know you’re busy…”
Replace It With Something Fresh
Swap it out with a test run of something that feels a little risky. A little bold. Maybe even a little you.
Not for perfection. For practice.
