Don't do this through WhatsApp

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

The podcast? Recorded online.
The sale? Done via email.
Prospecting? Through social media.

Dating? On Tinder.

Saying no? Through WhatsApp.

Firing someone? On a piece of paper.

The meeting? On videoconference.

The reasons for a raise? In a Power Point.

Persistence? Better not, just in case it annoys someone.

Something very similar was explained a few days ago by the great Monge Malo, the best sales coach in Spanish language this week.

And he is so right.

You spend your life doing whatever it takes to avoid conflict, risk, expense, or loss…

Weak. Gallina.

Go, call, show up, and slam your fist on the table.

The sale, the raise, the agreement, the job done, are in the conflict.

In facing it, accepting that it’s an essential part of a fulfilling life.

Seek out the conflict, don’t avoid it.
No one ever won a war by hiding in the trenches. Worse yet, they ended up dying just the same.

Since you’re going to be rejected anyway, since they’ll get annoyed and even insult you no matter what, at least do what you need to do to make it happen.

The English Cut

Christmas is not my cup of tea. I guess that I’m too practical to over eat, over drink, over talk and over spend. It’s not an optimal solution. One of the things I’m trying to be practical about is gifts. In Spain, gifts are given on the 6January morning. The 3 wise men day. There is also a very famous place. El Corte Inglés… or The English Cut (?) Where you can buy all gifts. Adults and children alike. From clothing to iPads to travel packages. One shop to get everything. So, you won’t see...

A PPP like an aircraft carrier

Somewhere in Latin America. 2021. A consortium wins a massive infrastructure contract. Billions of dollars. Press headlines. Champagne. “We’re the best,” they say. More Champagne. Expensive hotels. More expensive restaurants. The very first project like this… ever. Yeah! Bonus. Yeah! But that was the problem. The team that won it… had zero clue how to deliver a PPP of that size. This is NOT theory. This happened in real life. Signed. Celebrated. New suits. Photos with the minister. Of course…...

Getting sued

They say that if you don’t get haters, it’s because you are unnoticed. They also say that if you don’t get sued, it’s because you are not achieving anything valuable. I may be talking a little personal here. But, apply this to the PPP world and you’ll get the same pattern. If you are an agency and some people don’t dislike you, you’re probably being average. You’re a kind of Care Bear, an Osito Amoroso. Spreading love. Fearful of upsetting anybody. You’re average in Averageland. And if you...
