Throughout my career, I have met a number of people that compete against one another trying to get the same business. It's a tug of war that never seems to have a winner. I have to admit, when I was in Corporate America and a part of a sales team, we were always trying to beat each other. I found myself working hard to get to the top and was driven by numbers. I was trained by the best in the sales profession from Brian Tracy to Zig. Of course, I won lots of great stuff including a big screen TV and luxurious trips.Today, I find ways to collaborate more with the people in my network. I've discovered there's so much more you can accomplish working together and helping each other than competing for the same thing. Even more amazing is the end result tends to be much bigger!
This week, think about someone you know that would be open to collaborating and do a one-time joint project together. If the results prove positive, do it again!
Until next time....Keep on Networking!
To Your Sassy Success,
