An a-ha moment from an interesting place.
In yoga class the other morning, the teacher said, “Rather than criticize your body for what you can’t do, just make an observation.” That comment redirected my thinking through a frustrating work situation.
Our principles and methods for lead generation, managing the sales cycle, and closing deals rely heavily on process and the absence of one upsets the apple cart (mine). I first lean towards criticism, rather than observation-the application of wrong energy in places that need positivity and improvement, not criticism.
As a sales consultant I better serve our clients by assessing how to improve their sales process with the human resources they do have. The perspective, criticism and frustration removed, allowed us to optimize our client’s situation and focus on positioning them to win.
