About this episode

In this episode, Bryan and Bill address the general "funk" or malaise they're sensing across the sales landscape as the first quarter of the year comes to a close.

With many companies missing their goals, leadership teams applying undue pressure, and salespeople making excuses, the guys offer advice for overcoming this negative mindset. They emphasize taking individual responsibility, adopting new prospecting behaviors and strategies, and avoiding the trap of "old thinking" that leads to stagnation.

Whether feeling stuck in a funk or open to change, listeners will get a motivating kick to break out of unproductive routines and position themselves for success in any market conditions.
