After a banner Q1, I've been stuck in a rut. My activity is up both dials and emails but my meetings are low. I only had one in April with nothing on the calendar for this month either.
The content of my cold call opener hasn't changed but I wonder if my confidence/tone is what's killing me. Just seems like I'm not getting the time of day.
I listened to my old calls where I set meetings and I'm trying to emulate that feeling but it just feels like I need to get one back on the board to build momentum.
What SALES GPT said:
According to some Bravado members, here are a few tips for getting out of a sales slump:
- Realize that slumps do happen and don't give up. Keep at it and don't stop learning.
- Take a break and go for a long walk or read a chapter of a book to recharge.
- Practice the Mamba mentality - consistently grind and keep your mojo.
- Detach from outcomes and focus on providing value to both your company and its clients.
- Stay consistent to prevent burnout, but also take a break if needed.
- Remember that sales is peaks and valleys, and know that this slump will pass.
- Try different avenues and make more dials to build your pipeline back up.
- Stay positive and remind yourself of past successes.
- Ignore what happened before today and focus on a new perspective.
- Use free time to prospect and revisit sales training.
- Take some time off and unplug.
- Set micro goals for each day.
- Engage in physical activity away from work to recharge.
- Journal your thoughts with positive affirmations.
- Allow yourself a day of doing nothing to realize the importance of dopamine.
Most of these responses are from a few years back so here's my ask for you: how do you approach a slump?
Thanks savages,
