It is your responsibility to create value for your contacts and stakeholders in the sales conversation. Almost everything you have been taught and trained to do works against this critical outcome. Talking up your company to gain credibility, to talking about your solution as the best in class, to telling stories about your clients fail to create value for your contacts, unless you believe they want you to remind them of what they already read on your website.

What stands in the way of you working with the people who you want to serve? What stands in the way of you earning the income necessary for yourself and your family? What’s standing in the way of you feeling good about all the work that you’re doing?

One office store used the “easy button” in their promotions. They even had easy buttons available for purchase in their stores. While there is nothing wrong with making things easy for your clients or customers, in B2B sales most attempts to make things easier make selling difficult. When one tries to cheat nature, nature cheats back.

I created the Negativity Fast for myself because I was angry and wanted to feel better. Part of my negativity stemmed from several traumas I'd experienced, including two brain surgeries. I lost part of my right lobe, a fact I learned only after the second surgery. At the time, I didn't recognize this as trauma. My negativity might also have been exacerbated by the anticonvulsants my doctors had prescribed to prevent grand mal seizures.
