How Your Attention Span LIMITS Your Results

Posted January 18, 2019

Your attention span is a funny thing;

It takes those moments where you may have had the greatest ideas and action steps and then . . .

Suddenly you’re whisked away to someplace else only to be whisked away to someplace else.

But Here’s The Kicker . . .

When you let that get in the way of the action you swore you were going to take;

You miss out on the benefits of taking that action!

Oh, and then there’s this . . . .

Who the heck wants to live that way?

I get so many ideas and have so many great intentions throughout the day.

Sometimes it’s something for one of my clients.

Other times its for a new course.

Sometimes its a topic for this blog or my Facebook group but . . .

I recognize that we’re now living in a world that has no shortage of distractions so;

I make a note in Evernote before I forget but;

It’s important to realize that ideas mean nothing until you schedule the action that needs to accompany them!

Otherwise our attention span whisks us away again and . . .

We typically feel pretty unproductive and unfulfilled as a result!

And while we’re on the subject of taking action . . .

Please don’t tell me you’ve been consuming the content I’m sharing here and then doing nothing with it!

If you have, please know that other than some minor entertainment value, your time with me will be useless!

In other words . . .

Stop consuming and START taking ACTION!

Someone Should Hold You ACCOUNTABLE For All Those Ideas and “To Do” Lists!

Why?

Because its too easy to get distracted again, and again, and meanwhile;

You miss out on the benefits of getting BETTER results!

Please consider this reason #500 why you absolutely should hire a sales coach!

Here’s how I coach my clients;

I am NOT your typical coach!

I work with my clients in a very different way than traditional coaches!

A traditional coach will ask you lots of questions, and lead you on a path of self-discovery – while providing you with very little of what experts refer to as “answers!”

By the time people reach out to me, they have lots of questions of their own and could sure use some answers. That’s why I created a very different coaching format.

Here’s what our time together would look like:

  • We’ll start off with a quick update from you. I’ll want to know what you’ve been up to, what’s challenging you, opportunities you’re in front of etc so we can brainstorm.
  • Next, we’re going to have some accountability by reviewing the action items from our last session.
  • We’ll then dive right into either a sales lesson I’ve prepared for you or brainstorming a challenge or opportunity you’re facing.
  • We’ll conclude the session with you telling me what you feel your action items should be. My job is to make sure you aren’t babying yourself while at the same time, aren’t working yourself into an early grave!
  • Each session is approximately 45 minutes.

And YES, I coach sales leadership on everything from hiring sales rock stars, onboarding them, training them, coaching them, how to have killer sales team meetings, creating a performance culture etc!

Between Sessions

  • I’ll ask you to email me an update on your progress. You’ll receive feedback and additional email support. Our relationship will always extend beyond that time when the proverbial “meter is running.”

You’ll also receive occasional reinforcement emails, content etc from me.

What Makes Me Unique

For starters, I’m not one of these reps who sold for like 15 minutes and decided to get out and do something “safer,” I’ve been actively selling for 30+ years.

And I’m not someone who only cares about his paycheck turning the other way while you slack.

I recognize that no matter how great a training event might be, there needs to be a reinforcement component in order for training to ‘stick!’

In my program we work – and you’re going to sweat.

I take my job as your coach seriously and I insist you take your time with me seriously too.

Not ready to make that kind of commitment?

Then stop here and do some soul searching!
