Nobody wants to be sold. Nobody wants to receive cold emails or calls. Consider these when you approach your next prospect.

Never assume prospects care about you or your product. They ONLY care about their own needs. Show how you solve their pain. They might start caring about you.

I don't like to see super complicated lead generation automation and systems. Seems like you're overcomplicating sales.

If you can't handle rejection, you should not be in sales.

I think the biggest success factor is having a family that supports you no matter what. You feel extremely powerful.

Fake urgency hurts trust. Prospects are not stupid. Offer real reasons to act, and show true value. That is how you close deals.

100% automated outbound = lazy + incompetent And probably won't work.

Never apologize if you're selling. Apologetic behavior is a big mistake for salespeople. Here's why: 1️⃣ It positions you lower. You undermine your confidence and the prospect's perception of you.

There is no excuse not to create content and share your thoughts. No matter what it is beneficial for you. Whether you want to improve your career, network, or sell, it helps. Just do it.

Building a GTM strategy and amplifying it with other strategies is my passion. I believe GTM is not only for revenue, it is also for getting real feedback from the market. Honestly, the majority of real market value goes to the thrash as companies don't have a system to leverage this.

Harsh truth: Nobody cares about a random seller. The real relationship-building process starts when you see that there's something valuable for them.

Feeling like you're bad at sales? If you can't sell, this does not always mean that you're a bad salesperson. - The product might be terrible - Your territory can have fewer opportunities - You might not be getting the guidance you need You can't always control outcomes.

I still see Bluesky as my alternative social media plan. But I'm failing to engage with people as it is not my priority. How do you handle a situation like this?

Some people never answer the question you ask. They answer something else. When you repeat the question they get mad. 2 options: - They're trying to hide something -0 communication skills Either way, you should stop trying.

The funniest thing in corporate companies is people with ego but 0 knowledge. When they join a startup, they often feel like a fish out of water.

Working for an early-stage startup for a year taught me more than working for corporate companies for 4 years. One feeling I had in corporate companies? "Oh, if this person can become a director with this knowledge, I probably should build my own business" Big companies indeed look fancy on CV

I find Bluesky more conversational than other social media platforms. This is the top reason I started to create content here. What do you think?

People say LinkedIn is cringe. I partially agree but it is still beneficial thanks to the network there. I receive job offers, podcast invitations, and consultancy offers every month. You'll never regret having a media power.

When you realize you're on your own in life, your growth starts. Expect nothing from no one. Don't be dependent, but ask for help. See how your life changes.

A man operates at peak efficiency when he's providing for his family. Purpose fuels performance. I need this feeling in my life😬

Pay your freelancers on time. Usually, those people are trying to build a lifestyle and business for themselves - dealing with lots of challenges. Don't make it harder for them.

Building something with No-code doesn't make me an engineer. Automating lead generation doesn't make you a GTM engineer either.

Not getting any objections from prospects? Don't be so happy; you're losing the deal. Objections are opportunities and signs of interest.

Making fun of new starters and public shaming are signs of low character.

Being hungry and greedy are different in sales. One brings results. The other one destroys the entire team.

Sales is not closing the deal. buyers are becoming overwhelmed by the seemingly endless good choices and need help making a decision. Sales is helping them.
