Maybe your big opportunity just has not happened YETMany years ago I was working at a large, three-story restaurant in San Francisco near the Moscone Convention Center. This restaurant already had a major, well-known supplier for their produce. When a man named Oscar showed up asking to be their supplier, they quickly turned him away. Oscar regularly showed up and offered his services as a produce supplier. The Management kept turning him down. They even occasionally laughed at Oscar’s persistence and make jokes about whose turn it was to tell him no. That was until one day there was a problem with their regular supplier. Everyone knew Oscar by name and he was the person who got the call to be their supplier. Oscar was ready for the opportunity and he took it! At the time, I thought this was Oscar’s big break. Looking back at how persistent (and pretty darn cool) he was, I wonder if this was just one of many opportunities that came Oscar’s way that year. Maybe you are not at the end of your own Oscar story yet. Keep making connections and working towards opportunities. Do you know someone who finally had their Oscar moment?#career #professionaldevelopment

After my last sales rally with a fun restaurant brand... I was pleasantly surprised when a few of the frontline team members. Chased me out the door. At first I thought I had forgotten something. They were booking it.Nope. They were both eager to share their success stories.I am all ears.One of the newest team members exclaimed, "I increased my nightly sales last week by $125 a night!""How did you manage that?"With a super proud smile, they replied "Iced teas and coffee - just like you said."Yup. Incrementally better every week. I can't wait to see what's next for this new server.Another team member said, "I took your suggestion and presented some ideas to my leadership team.""Really - do tell!"Excitedly, they shared, "We didn't have a mocktail menu, so I gathered the mocktail menus of 15 restaurants in our neighborhood and put together a list of ideas."Woah. An owner like mindset! Empowered employees will take initiative. And implement innovative ideas discussed during sales rallies. Bring in an expert to help. The messages hit differently. It's so fun to watch. And of course see the results. Leading to tangible improvements in sales and service offerings. 😎 ✌️ Psst... I am on a mission to great a workforce full of mini GM's!

I used to feel inferior for not knowing much about American and European sports, or the world of premium brands.Once, I worked with a team where everyone discussed fine dining places at length. I've never felt more out of place.Over time, I have realized two things.1) Do your job well. Everything else is just a cherry on top.2) Your perspective makes you unique. For me, being grounded and assertive at the same time has turned out to be a superpower.Celebrate your uniqueness - It is what helps you stand out.#careers #management #personaldevelopmentI share such thoughts every week in my newsletter.

Don't follow someone else's journey, create your own. Embrace the uniqueness of your story. Surround yourself with great people, take chances. Embrace setbacks as motivation, start from the bottom, and focus on developing leaders. Remember, success has no timeframe – enjoy the journey without stepping on others' toes. Don’t waste your time keeping up with the competition. Stay busy improving yourself and your team.

You're the proud owner of a prestigious restaurant, about to host a VIP guest. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation. In this crucial moment, would you let a chef with limited skills take charge of their dinner? This analogy resonates deeply with our current sales landscape.Every opportunity we encounter now is precious, akin to serving a VIP guest at a top-tier restaurant. In this challenging environment, the skills of your team are not just an asset; they are your lifeline. They need to be at their sharpest, just like the chef's knives in our story. And here's the good news, the skill level of your team is one of the few things you have control over in these turbulent times.The volume game of “more prospecting” is always high on every companies agenda, but the “conversion” game is where companies will win in 2024.#sales#b2bsales #salesskills
