Important Business Lessons You Can Apply Across All Areas of Life   A successful business learns from what it experiences, either through its own history or the history of others. Let’s talk about some of the important business lessons you can apply in all areas of life.    Kevin Harrington is an entrepreneur and a mentor. He’s worked with celebrities who have become entrepreneurs and with his help, they have been able to achieve success. Mark Timm is also an entrepreneur and they met through their mutual mentor, Zig Ziglar.    The pandemic has impacted businesses of all sizes. These have been challenging months but this has also been a learning curve for Kevin. Kevin’s aggressive curiosity allowed him to start his career and it has sustained him to this day. He succeeds by watching where people begin and how they get to their destinations. The importance of mentors, the right pitch, and a great mindset Having the right kind of operational and finance team is imperative to help growth but Kevin also realized the importance of having a mentor, the experts, and leaders you want to emulate and follow.    As a salesperson, the right pitch is also going to serve you well. Kevin uses the tease, please, and seize strategy: Sales reps tease the prospects with just enough information to get their attention, please them by solving their problems, and seize the close by offering a deal they can’t refuse.    The right mindset is the foundation of success.  You will face different obstacles and circumstances and attain different levels of success, but how far you go begins with what you think.  You can fortify your mindset by what you choose to learn. It’s why reading consistently is so critical. Sales require on-going education. The more you learn, the better your grasp what the business of prospecting, selling and closing is all about.  “Important Business Lessons You Can Apply Across All Areas of Life” episode resources  Connect with Kevin Harrington and Mark Timm via their LinkedIn accounts.
