Bringing Your Bestie Brunch Vibe to the Game

This week, we’re mixing business with pleasure (figuratively, of course) and learning how to bring that bestie brunch vibe into our sales game.

This Week’s Spark: Genuine Connections Are Your Secret Weapon

Ever noticed how effortlessly you connect with your besties over brunch? That easy, flowing conversation, the inside jokes, the genuine curiosity? That’s exactly the kind of energy we want to bring into our sales game!

Here’s the thing: sales isn’t about putting on a show or trying to be someone you’re not. It’s about creating real connections through authentic communication. When you stop focusing on “performing” and start focusing on simply showing up as yourself, that’s when the magic happens.

Let’s Break It Down into Actionable Steps:

1. Be Your Authentic Self – Just like you are with your besties, let your true personality shine in your sales interactions.

2. Listen More, Talk Less – Think about how you hang on every word of your friend’s latest story. Apply that same attentive listening to your clients.

3. Find Common Ground – Just as you might bond over a shared love for mimosas, look for points of connection with your prospects.

4. Keep It Light – Bring the fun, relaxed vibe of a bestie brunch into your sales conversations. A little humor goes a long way!

5. Follow Up Like a Friend – Just like you’d text your friend the next day to check in, apply that same genuine care to your follow-ups.

A Quick Story That Drove This Home for Me

I was at a networking event recently, and as I walked in, I felt that familiar dread creeping up. You know, that “Oh no, I have to be ‘on’ now” feeling? But then I had a lightbulb moment. I asked myself, How would I feel if I was meeting my two besties for a weekend brunch? Instantly, I felt my shoulders relax. I realized I could be my real, goofy, laid-back self here too.

Guess what? The event turned out to be a blast! I made genuine connections, had great conversations, and even captured a few promising leads. All because I showed up as my authentic self, just like I would with my friends.

Your Challenge for the Week:

Bring that bestie brunch energy to your next sales call or meeting. Be yourself, listen deeply, and connect genuinely. You might be surprised at how much easier (and more enjoyable) sales become!

Remember, you’re not just a sales professional – you’re a connection creator, a story weaver, and a relationship builder. Your ability to be authentically YOU is your superpower.

Cheers to your success!
