If you and your business manage to stay fresh and agile on your learning curve, if you manage to keep learning and adapting consistently, — your business model, your value proposition, and sales will have a lasting history of success.
Learn, unlearn and relearn. This is how we stay current and get ahead.
When I am saying unlearn, I do not mean consume new information in the field just to “sell faster and sell more”. There is so much more to it than that. And above all, it is about unlearning to become better and to develop a new level of awareness. This is what this article is about.

Have you ever asked yourself why you don’t get what you want? The reason is not in your education, financial status, networks or how much time you’ve been making efforts in your business.

Did it occur to you that the person from whom you learned to sell might not have actually been good at what they taught you? What if they were selling just something they have learned very well from others? Just ponder for a moment and imagine that.
Just discard these old perspectives from your mind and refocus towards what value, in essence, you and your company can offer to your clients.

It happens to every one of us as we find ourselves confronted with a totally unfamiliar field of knowledge.
