LeBron James needs to constantly reprove himself. Every. Single. Year.
At the beginning of the 2020 NBA Bubble Playoffs, I heard Paul Pierce say, “If LeBron and the Lakers lose to Portland in the first round, I don’t want to hear none of that GOAT talk anymore.” 🥶
This is a guy (LeBron) who has won 3 NBA championships, including 1 where he took the Cavaliers (who had never won a ring before) to a title, after coming back down 3–1 (never done before) to the Golden State Warriors who had just set the best ever regular-season record with 73 wins.
I mean, I am in the #1 #Jordan #2 #Kobe camp all day, but come on.
If being in #sales is not the closest thing to being a professional #athlete, then I don’t know what is.
For all you #salespeople who are #grinding day in and day out, where your #KPIs are reset every year, every quarter, every week, every day.
We see you. We feel you.
When we blast a salesperson for being too pushy, or “too passionate”, or ask #whathaveyoudoneformelately, let’s think about this.
Let’s #celebrate our friends in B2B sales, because outside of very few other fields, it’s one of the hardest things to do, ever.
Who are the salespeople you want to celebrate? Let them know! 👇🏽
