Titles Carry Expectations

There’s a trend right now, and perhaps there always has been, of switching up titles. Here’s the thing, whatever your title is, it carries expectations, both good and bad. If someone sees an email or gets a call from a self-identified sales person, there is an immediate thought process of ‘Oh crap, how can I get out of this as fast as possible.”  The essence of a title is to convey meaning, it’s short hand for what to expect.

The beauty is we get to behave into those expectations to bring about a positive experience.

As a sales rep, we have the opportunity to delivery a great experience to whomever we’re talking with. To change the expectation of the customer from “I’m getting sold”, to “That person really helped me.”

As a leader, our title can also be barrier. People can be afraid to approach us for a variety of reasons. As a leader, we have the opportunity to put people at ease and create an environment where people are heard. Own it.

Keep in mind that we have the opportunity to use our behavior, voice, and approach to let our identity shine through in spite of and despite our title.

What behavior are you going to bring today?

Why Declarations are Powerful

Declarations are powerful because they convey our intentions and expectations all at the same time. Think of the Declaration of Independence. If you haven’t read it lately, I recommend you do so. Thanks to my 5th graders, I had that exact opportunity. That document is powerful because it declares independence, even though it was years before true independence reigned. Other examples of declarations:

  • This day is going to be awesome
  • This call is going to go great
  • Our meeting is going to bring more business in
  • Our presentation is going to resonate with folks

What do you need to declare today? Make it a good one and be BOLD!

It’s all in our head

When we’re attempting something big, greater than ourselves, and it’s scary. The story or stories in our head can be overwhelming and not in a good way.

The best way to get out of your head is to take (the appropriate) action and press forward. Identify the block, why it’s a block, and the best plan to move through it. Not around it, but through it.

For some extra help, take a listen to this reading of “Mike and the Dragons”, by Jocko Willink.
