Sales Warrior Lesson 6: The Changing Times

Competitors and customers also must deal with changes in climate? They too choose their place on the ground. Like us, when they make that decision, they cannot control the passage of time and the effects of time on their operation. They, like us, have to adjust to changes of climate, and they can do so only by adjusting their position in the market, that is, on the ground.

The fact that no one can control the climate makes change one of the salesperson's most useful tools. If the climate weren't changing, no one would have to make different decisions about what to purchase than they made in the past. However, since the clock is always ticking, we all have to continually make new decisions. None of us can go back to the past. We can only make decisions about the future, and the future is always the undiscovered country.
