We are all salespeople in our own right. Some of us sell for a living, others sell/advocate on behalf of their passion. This blog is meant to share the trials, tribulations, victories, and lessons learned..............from one salesperson to another.

Pull the Trigger

A crucial trait in any leader is the lack of fear in making a decision. We all make bad decisions, decisions that we regret, and decisions that cost us big. A leader will not allow these bad decisions to deter them away from making the next decision. They pick up, move on, and don't look back. They will make more bad decisions. I believe a bad decision is often better than indecision. Don't waver. Don't leave people hanging in indecisiveness. Weigh your options, make a call, and move full steam ahead.

In sales and leadership, we often overanalyze. In everyday decisions, the worst result that a bad decision will cause is a lost sale, lost money, or a lost job. Yes, this is our livelihood I'm talking about, and I don't mean to make things light of it. But, I would rather lose any of the above than work in hesitational fear of making a bad decision each day. Those who make bad decisions will be more respected and more successful than those who don't make decisions at all.

Pull the trigger, put the plan in place to execute, attack full speed ahead, and don't look back. You'll leave the majority of people behind.......wavering on what to do.......watching your every move hoping you fall. Maybe you fall, and maybe you don't........either way, I know which one of you I want on my team.
