Pain today or pain tomorrow. That should be the mantra for anyone trying to achieve or create something new and different in their life. Mark it #1 for sales professionals trying to achieve at a high level.
High performance demands you pick your pain. Most sales professionals avoid the daily discomfort of prospecting, asking tough questions, and taking risks—only to experience crushing long-term regret when they miss their numbers.
In this episode, Dan explores why avoiding short-term discomfort creates exponential long-term pain, how to redefine relationship selling beyond the "friendly zone," and the critical difference between pressuring prospects with competency versus helping them gain perspective through meaningful questions.
