I just heard Hormozi saying that only 11% of people have gym memberships. That's 89% of the world that you will never have to compete with. There really is no excuse to be unsuccssful, especially if you're showing up and doing the work.

Jobs like sales can be very self serving so a little humility goes a looooong way. Trust me, I've seen a lot of successful sales reps become very self-absorbed and it's not pretty.

To be successful you have to be a contrarian in some regard. If you are doing the same as everyone else then the space is innately saturated. At some point, you need to diverge from the 'path of the many' and embark on your own.

Saying 'questions?' on a sales call is innately lazy. Start asking more specified questions to get better answers out of your prospects. 'How does what you're currently doing compare to this?'

It's truly fascinating how you can have a conversation with a prospect one day and get shut down, then talk to them a month later and they're willing to consider purchase. The lesson here is to keep pushing and nurture your opportunities no matter how dismal.

The goal in high-tech sales is still to eventually have a book of business. Once you have customers that you can bring to any Saas company, you become significantly more valuable. This skill set can get you close to 7 figures.

Why does every successful person account their personal achievement to their 'people skills?' I swear I've never heard a rich person refer to any technical ability as the basis of his/her achievement, it's always about their ability to navigate professional relationships.
