Let’s face it, the merchant services game is a rollercoaster ride of highs, lows, and a whole lot of “wait, what was that?” moments. But here’s the secret weapon you’ve been searching for, straight from the wise words of Confucius:
“To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.” Confucius
This isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about power. It’s about unlocking your potential and dominating the field. Let’s break it down:
1. Own Your Wins! (And Amplify Them): “To know that we know what we know…”
* Fuel Your Fire: You’ve got skills. You close deals. You understand the tech. Don’t just acknowledge it – celebrate it! Let that expertise shine. Every successful pitch, every satisfied client, is fuel for your next victory.
* Become the Go-To Guru: You’re not just a salesperson; you’re a trusted advisor. When you speak from a place of genuine knowledge, clients listen. They feel confident, and that confidence translates to closed deals.
* Sharpen Your Edge: The world doesn’t wait. Invest in your expertise. Master the latest trends. Become the person everyone turns to for answers. You’re not just keeping up; you’re setting the pace.
2. Attack Your Knowledge Gaps! (They’re Opportunities in Disguise): “…and to know that we do not know what we do not know…”
* Embrace the Challenge: That feeling of “I don’t know” isn’t a weakness; it’s a launchpad. It’s where growth happens. Every question you can’t answer is a chance to learn, to evolve, to become even more powerful.
* Become a Learning Machine: Turn those knowledge gaps into your personal training ground. Seek out mentors, devour industry insights, and become a master of the unknown.
* Turn “I Don’t Know” into “Let Me Find Out”: Never fake it. Honesty builds trust. When you admit you don’t have an answer, you show integrity. And when you come back with the solution? You become a hero.
This isn’t just about selling merchant services; it’s about mastering yourself. It’s about recognizing your strengths, confronting your weaknesses, and turning every challenge into an opportunity.
* You are a force. Your knowledge, your drive, your willingness to learn – that’s your superpower.
* Don’t settle for “good enough.” Strive for mastery. Push your boundaries. Become the best version of yourself.
* Every “NO” is a step closer to a “YES.” Every challenge is a chance to rise higher.
Go out there and conquer the world. You’ve got the knowledge, the drive, and the Confucius-approved mindset to make it happen!
Hey Dave, Who was Confucius guy?
Aww, great question. Confucius, We always say Confucius says this…. Confucius says that…. but who was he? he was born Kong Qiu around 551–479 BCE, was a highly influential Chinese philosopher and teacher whose teachings have profoundly shaped East Asian culture. Living during the turbulent Spring and Autumn period, he sought to restore social harmony through ethical principles emphasizing moral conduct, respect for social hierarchies, and the importance of education. His philosophy, known as Confucianism, centers on concepts like “ren” (benevolence), “li” (ritual propriety), and “xiao” (filial piety), and his ideas are preserved in the “Analects,” a collection of his sayings. His legacy continues to impact understandings of governance, social relationships, and individual morality. Basically the Dr. Seuss of ancient times. (Source: Google, except for the Dr. Seuss part)
Happy selling,
