How to Become the Best…
Summary
- If you're trying to earn more in sales, focus less on comparing your commission checks and more on the actions taken by top performers.
- Look at the number of calls the top salesperson is making, their script practice frequency, and how early they start and finish work.
- Match or, ideally, double or triple the effort of those who are ahead if you're new to the game.
- Remember how Kobe Bryant outworked others by practicing twice as much; this approach will initially put you on par with others before eventually leading you to outpace them.
- Trust that aligning your inputs with successful people will result in similar successes over time.

How To Take Action
I would suggest looking at what the top dogs are doing first. See how many calls they make, how they practice their word play, and how soon they start their day compared to you. Don't just stare at how much they make. Match their actions or do even more—two or three times more, like Kobe. He practiced way more than anyone else. At first, you'll just catch up, but keep at it, and you'll pass them.
Here's a plan to step it up:
- Count how many calls the top seller makes every day. Try to make the same number or more.
- Practice your selling talk as much as you can. Do it more than once a day.
- Start your workday early, just like the top sellers. See what time they begin and aim to start before them.
- Don't leave work until you've done more than them. Look at what time they end their day and push past that.
Trust that doing these things, putting in the work, will pay off. You won't see big money right away, but over time, doing the right things will get you there. Stay focused on the work, and the results will follow.
