ERIKA'S TIP: "Get really honest in assessing yourself and doing that self-inventory to figure out where are you on that spectrum right now, in terms of cheerleader or cheerful leader. What does that really look like? I would challenge you to really think about the calls you've had, listen to some of your own recordings, and even ask a trusted peer or manager for their input on that. Then I would say a fun way to test out how comfortable you are in being more of a cheerful leader is to go back to the last deal you lost and see if you can rework it, rework your conversation and your pitch as more of a cheerful leader than whatever you did once it was lost. That'll tell you really where you are. How comfortable do you feel or not feel, and how do they respond to that, which will be also very telling."

MOSTAFA'S TIP: "As far as follow up goes, there's this couple of myth and in my experience, thought patterns that stop people from following up. First one people say is they say I don't want to bother them. When there's someone opts in and they raise their hand and say, "Hey, I have a problem, I need help or I'm interested in what you guys are doing", the stats are that about 50% of salespeople never follow up. Fact of the matter is when someone raises their hand and says, "I need help. I have a bleeding neck, I need you to save me." If you go out there and reach out and work on serving them, you're not actually bothering them, but the fact that you're not following up, you're bothering them. If they have a problem, they expect a solution and it's on you to follow up."

Adrienne's TIP: "Nobody knows the suffering of somebody with Lyme disease unless they've had it. I love my relationships. My human relationships in life are everything to me. I've made some of the best friends I've ever met in my life through Lyme disease. Even though it's been an absolute curse and bane of my existence, I wouldn't have these people in my life. I can't even imagine not knowing the folks I've met through these groups and meeting you. It's changed my whole life. I have to take the good from it, Fred, because it took so much from me, that I have to be able to help other people get through this. It's not a choice, it has to happen."
