Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. This week I\u2019ve been on both sides of an activity that I think is super important, and that is asking for advice. Perhaps not everybody is wired this way, but my thinking and my ideas seems to get much better when I ask for advice. This is basically how I process. Talking a particular idea or challenge through with somebody helps me gain more clarity simply by trying to explain it to them. I\u2019ll then let them know that I\u2019m open to their feedback or suggestions. I might even ask a specific question. The resulting conversation almost always leads to an even better idea. The beauty is, you can do this with several people around the same topic. Each might ask you a different set of questions or have another thought or suggestion that you can then layer on top of the original idea and continue to iterate. You can do this with anyone really. I will frequently do this with my manager and my leadership. I\u2019ll do this with my customers or with an internal champion. I\u2019ll do it with my peers, and I\u2019ve certainly done it with many in this community. They\u2019ve also done it with me. As much as I can I try to return the favor and pay it forward by helping people work through their own questions, challenges, and opportunities. Nick sent me a note on LinkedIn with a giant potentially life-altering question. Those are the ones that it\u2019s particularly important to seek out a lot of advice. Ideally, you can find some mentors who have been down a similar path before and can provide some perspective and maybe even Sherpa like guidance. I think this is a critically important process and one you almost can\u2019t do too much. Conversations are key. Have more of them!<\/p>\n

Then come back tomorrow for another great sales tip! I\u2019m particularly excited about the set of tips coming up this week. Make sure you\u2019re subscribed so you don\u2019t miss them. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
