spamming, lying & begging?

I see way too many sales people take these shortcuts to close more deals. And I get why they're doing it: In sales, the grind never stops. You've got to keep delivering month after month, quarter after quarter. No matter how good you've performed last quarter—if you're not making your numbers now, you're failing. (And maybe you feel like a failure.) With that kind of pressure on you, it's easy to start feeling desperate. And when you're desperate, it's easy to start cutting corners. In my latest blog post I talk about 3 sales shortcuts that can help you close more deals right now—but will hurt your career in the long run. And more importantly: I share what to do instead, and how to turn a bad quarter into a long-term career booster. Go get'em! Steli PS: There's a larger life lesson in here: Successful people are willing to sacrifice a short-term win for a long-term goal. They don't take shortcuts. They go the extra-mile. That's why you should lose the battle to win the war.  Close.io PO Box 7775 #69574 San Francisco, CA 94120-7775 You may manage your email preferences anytime.
