THE BIG IDEA
Argh! Consistency Is Tiring
But sadly, it works.
Last week we spoke about the horror of getting ghosted, but we didn't address the sister of ghosting a.k.a Mrs Consistency.
You know how those motivational speakers keep chanting "Don't give up, keep pushing"? Sometimes, I just wanna yell back, "Oga, it's not easy to keep pushing!"
But of course, I'll nod along and give that applause when they drop their mic., 'cause, you know, we have to keep things classy.
It's not as if we don't even believe them, but when you've run countless ads, pitched to every potential customer, and negotiated with another ghoster who promised to buy and didn't, staying consistent can feel like climbing Everest.
But as Zlatan would say "You won chop life you no wan pay price my guy, na there you go dey."
If the price to pay here is consistency, then I guess we have to keep running to hit that revenue target for 2023.
I get it, consistency is no walk in the park. That's why I found this awesome article to help you stay on track.
And if we’ll be honest, consistency in business always pays off in the long haul. So why not keep at it?
Here's your dose of motivation for today: A no is not a complete rejection, most times it's a redirection.
But hey, I'm not the Motivational speaker, I'm the Motivational speaker's friend 👀

STORY OF THE WEEK
It’s Either a Yes or Nothing
When I interviewed Olamide, I could tell she had the “I want it, I get it” type of mentality. It’s the reason she has gone ahead in her sales career for over 8 years. What would surprise you the most is how she closed a N50m deal.
What do you enjoy most about the sales and marketing industry?
Money.
LOL
It’s a strong motivation for me. The more you sell, the more you earn - using Pareto’s 80/20 rule helps in this regard.
Were there challenges in your career journey?
When you don't hit your target, it can be challenging, although when you hit just one target, it covers up for the rest. I met a particular client at a conference, he gave me his card and I followed through with him on LinkedIn. For two years, there was no response but I didn’t give up, my strength grew in his silent rejection. When he finally responded, it bagged a major sale of more than 50m.
That’s right. 2 whole years of consistency even while being ghosted!
