You have this opportunity every single day – but it’s easy to miss…

Cultivation.

This is a word that keeps surfacing this month for me. It just keeps surfacing over and over again an in many different ways. And as we as salespeople approach the end of the month, the power and buoyancy of this word is impressive.

There are many examples I could share with you today but literally I don't have time. Here at Frazer, we're working hard to close deals and make sales happen before month's end on Friday.

So, for now, there's one simple and poignant thing I want to share with you about this word and this process inside your sales team, your career, and your life in general.

You have the opportunity every single day to plant a seed.

Yes. It's easy to forget and ignore the importance of this.

We get busy.

Tired.

Frustrated.

Sad.

Angry.

Self righteous.

Indignant.

Sloppy.

Negative.

The trick is in preventing these normal human emotions and behaviors from owning your mindset. Because when they do, you don't plant anything. And when you don't plant anything, you have nothing to cultivate.

Good luck!

You can bet there will be more thoughts on this topic later. For now, the focus is on the last few days of this beautiful month of June.
