Are you looking at what\u2019s working best in what you\u2019re doing? Where are you finding the most success in your prospecting efforts? Where are you strongest in your sales process? Who have been your best mentors?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a huge fan of leveraging your strengths and I really think you need to lean into those things. Even better if you have ways to quantify what\u2019s working and can use those numbers as a guide to help you further double down on your strengths.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my personal plan for this show over the next week or so. I\u2019m actually already out on vacation, but to make things easy and consistent, we\u2019re going to lean into some of the top tips that have been shared on the podcast so far this year. The cool thing is I\u2019ve got some pretty good data on which tips are the most popular. At the same time, it\u2019s a bit of an inexact science because a tip that was shared in January will have way more downloads than a tip that was shared just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>So for the next 7 days in this best of series, it\u2019s not going to be any sort of ranked countdown, instead, I\u2019m just going to share the top 7 without discriminating.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you know I always love hearing from you. Do me a favor and send me a note. I want to hear either what it is that\u2019s been working best for you lately OR either which of these top 7 tips is your favorite, or maybe you have a different favorite?<\/p>\n<p>Send your note to <a href=\"mailto:scott@top1.fm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scott@top1.fm<\/a>, and if you\u2019ve set up your account on Rally. There\u2019s a very very good chance that you\u2019ll be rewarded with some $SALES coins. Do me a favor and use the word BEST in all caps in your subject line when you send your note. I look forward to hearing from you and will get back to you when I get back from vacation. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I\u2019m a huge fan of leveraging your strengths and I really think you need to lean into those things.
