ATHLETE, SERVANT, LEADER: Athletic Mindset And Servant Leadership With Lori Richardson, Part 4

Peak Performance Selling

ARE YOU SPORTY ENOUGH FOR SALES?

Lori Richardson is back, and she discusses how athletes bring a unique mindset to sales, one that is focused on competition, winning, and improvement. In this episode, Jordan talks to Lori about the intersection of sports and sales. Richardson explains that while many companies assume that athletes make the best salespeople, this is not necessarily the case. What top athletes and top sellers have in common is the mindset piece. They both have the ability to bounce back from a tough week and move forward with supportive beliefs. All these and more, in this latest episode of Peak Performance Selling.

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

LORI: THE ATHLETIC MINDSET IN SALES

“What top athletes and top sellers have in common is the mindset piece. You know, the idea that if you had a game on Friday night, and you lost, you can't come in to Saturday's game thinking you're gonna lose again, you come into Saturday, fresh, ready to go. Same thing with sales, you know, you had a tough week, last week, great, it's gone, it's over, walk in the door, it's all new.”

LORI: LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT THEM

“It's really important that you know, what type of a leader you are, and if it is just for the job, and to help someone do that, then do that really, really well. But learn what servant leadership is so that it's not all about you, it's about them.”
