So lately in sales I've come to a few epiphanies that I'm translating into pick up and life in general.
Mostly, I've noticed that taking advice that I don't have any emotional connection to never turns out well.
In sales I tried taking some advice from a big name (read a few of his books, tried things out. Listened to his podcasts, etc) but things never turned out well.
My sales results plummeted and I was pissing people off.
Over the course of many months and much frustration I finally realized that I didn't have any emotional connection to his advice. It was just information to me and it made no sense. It was like being given a puzzle piece and then you had to figure out which puzzle it fit in. And it could be ANY puzzle, anywhere in the world, but you didn't have any puzzles in front of you.
F*ck that.
So from now on I'm only trying out techniques and advice that sparks a bit of emotion in me. Some kind of emotion that says "You know what? Maybe that's true." and then I'll try it out.
But if I hear something and I can't connect anything internally to the advice, I'm skipping it. This goes for sales and PUA and everything in life.
Coincidentally, upon returning to my emotions/intuition, I've started to do really well in sales again.
