How To Break Out Of A Sales Slump | 84

What do you do when sales are down? In this show, I give you five ideas for how to get out of a sales slump. I talk about the importance a positive attitude and the benefits of self confidence to get you back in business.

Keep in mind that it hasn’t been long since you were making deals left and right. Remember the winning attitude that enabled your success and tap into the benefits of self confidence that will help you succeed again.  

Here’s how to get out of a sales slump: 

1. Focus on what we teach kids in baseball. Don’t worry about winning the game; just win the at-bat. In sales, take things step by step: nail the call to get the appointment, to make the proposal, to eventually win the business. 

2. Read testimonials. Take pride in positive things people have said about doing business with you. Recognize the benefits of self confidence and self esteem for getting your sales groove back.

3. Call your current and former clients. Look for upselling or repeat sales opportunities and find ways to deliver additional value to those who appreciate you.

4. Get in front of an audience. Volunteer to speak at the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, or even Career Day at school. Dress up, share your passion, demonstrate value, and soak in the applause.
 
5. Do a mass mailing. Send 100 snail-mail letters to ideal potential clients, describing something new and exciting about your business. One week later, start following up, and prepare for your next sales boom.

What is Inside BS Show?

Would you like to work with better clients, make more money, and build a business that gives you true freedom?

Have you struggled with the loneliness that comes with working long hours and solving the dozens of complex problems you face as an entrepreneur?

Do you ever feel like the most valuable business secrets are shared behind closed doors—where only insiders have access?

Welcome to The Inside BS Show—your daily invitation to step behind the velvet rope and into the room where real business leaders talk strategy, success, and scale.

These are your people. They've been where you are, and they've gone where you want to go. But most importantly, they feel your pain and can help it go away.

If you're an entrepreneur, CEO of a private company, or leader of a professional firm, this show is your secret weapon.

On each show we break down the business growth strategies that insiders use to win—revenue generation, building influence, succession planning, hiring top talent, navigating legal minefields, and crafting an exit strategy that maximizes value.

But this isn’t just a podcast—it’s a community. We don’t just talk at you; we bring you into the conversation.

Your host, Dave Lorenzo (The Godfather of Growth), gives you an exclusive front-row seat to the insights, strategies, and behind-the-scenes conversations that drive business success.

A new episode drops each Wednesday at 6 AM.
