Scott Ingram: You’re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I’m your host, Scott Ingram. Today’s tip comes from Hania Szymczak, who likes to remind us that her name rhymes with Lasagna. Here she is:

Hania Szymczak: This daily sales tip is about something that I think many of you probably already do. However, I think we don’t talk about the importance of this quite often enough. The tip is seek out and lean into high quality community. We’ve all heard it said that you are the sum of the five people closest to you or the five people you spend the most time with. And I personally think there’s nothing magical about the number five. But I think it is true that what you take in, what you consume, what you surround yourself with, is what you will then be able to put out and what will most naturally come out. So the more you curate the quality of your information, diet and the type of advice that you’re surrounded by, the higher the quality of your output will be able to be as well. And the importance of finding high quality communities and belonging to them, participating in them is just that you have more high quality voices around you that you can learn with and from, with whom you can celebrate your successes and reflect on failures, reflect on how you can improve.

I personally belong to two communities for sales professionals. One is the sales success community that Scott Ingram facilitates for all of us and the other one is Thursday night sales with Amy Volas and Scott. The format of both of these communities is very different. The quality of the people in both of the communities is very high and I have gained so much not just from the activities and events that happen in the group context, formally organized by each of those communities, but also learned so incredibly much thanks to one on ones I’ve been able to have and relationships I’ve been able to build with individuals in each of those communities and so curate what you have around you. Choose your communities wisely, do choose communities, but then also get to know individuals within those communities. To anybody listening to this who has come alongside me, supported me, had a one on one with me, helped me come to the Sales Success Summit, given me advice. I am so grateful for you guys and thank you for setting the bar really high. Thank you for setting the standard at generosity and kindness and I’m really glad to be able to look up to people like you guys.

Scott Ingram: Now with apologies to Hania as I hid this tip from myself and it took us forever to release it. So long so that Thursday Night Sales is no longer around, but the Sales Success Society is and so is Hania.
