This last year has been a tough year for a lot of people in sales. I\u2019m still seeing layoffs, and there are plenty of people who are struggling to perform the way they have in the past due to a variety of market conditions. Here\u2019s what I want you to remember. Markets run in cycles. They go up and they go down, it\u2019s just the natural order of things. Fortunately, they tend to go up a lot longer and a lot more than they go down. I actually ran across something I recorded about this time in 2019, 7 months or so before the Covid lockdowns. Listen to this:<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like I could see the future right? Now, we\u2019re in the opposite situation. We\u2019re in more of a down cycle now, but the good news is that they don\u2019t last forever and when things get good, they usually get good for an extended period and you should prepare for that now. Are you building the right relationships and developing the skills you\u2019ll need to really thrive in the next bull market? Now is the time to do the work. It may not be easy or particularly fun, you might have to stretch a little bit more to make the investments you really need to make in yourself, but think of it like paddling to catch a wave. Doing the work now is going to allow you to go for a great ride when the next wave comes. Are you ready?<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to check out the full 9-minute story from my 2019 clip, just click over to <a href=\"http:\/\/DailySales.Tips\/1626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DailySales.Tips\/1626<\/a> and I\u2019ll have that link for you there. Once you\u2019ve clicked over there and listened to that, be sure to come back, for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Doing the work now is going to allow you to go for a great ride when the next wave comes.&#8221; &#8211; Scott Ingram in today&#8217;s Tip 1626 Are you building the right relationships and developing the skills to thrive in the next bull market?
