Lion had been in a rut lately with sales. His team was going strong but for some reason he had been slipping with closing deals and making sales. In the evening he sat and thought of ways he could do better and be different in his routine. But the more he thought about it, the more he became exhausted over the issue. Confiding in the co-owner of his company, Lion was surprised with the response. “Stop complaining,” said Goat gently, “So you’ve had a few bad meetings. You need to look for solutions. Instead of focusing on the negative, look for the positive.” With that advice in mind, Lion found that with each meeting of clients he began to get back on track.
Lesson: This lesson is inspired by the Rescue a CEO Post “How to Turn Around Negative Thoughts That Are Killing Your Sales“
