Sales has been going well, your team has been motivated, and you didn’t expect your whole world to turn upside down – in days!! Your inside and outside sales teams now work from home, and someone needs to ensure that their work environment is secure, they are working effectively, and remain motivated and productive. You and your team are participating in multiple webinars by industry experts to know what lies ahead – but wait, does any of us really know anything about future?

I mean all the top industry speakers can predict or assume what’s going to happen but the ideas & opportunities might not work for your business. Each of you will need solution specific to your company and consumers. And I think the best expert to tell you what to do is YOU.

The next few weeks and months will test your company’s IT infrastructure, sales organization, and leadership. The pandemic is not the fault of your company or the sales team, but your proactivity, agility, and focus will either cause lasting damage, or maybe it could put your company on top.

When your world comes crashing down, you have a chance to do something you couldn’t have done before: rise up. And rise up with the same spirit and motivation when you first started. Don’t let that spark die. You can only be reborn if you’ve known what it feels like to die inside.

Your story might be called “Resilience” or “Hope” or even “Freedom.” It’s the story of the phoenix. Suffering changes you. If you let it, what happens to you becomes fuel for something new. It’s a teacher you learn how to not run away from. If you can do that (and you can), you’ll learn how to live through what you thought would destroy you.

Falling apart gives you a reason to build something new.

One thing that helps? Sharing your story. Telling your truth. It’s healing, not only for you but for those who want to know how they, too, can rise from the ashes of destruction.

How many times do you rise after you’ve come crashing down? Every single time. “Wear your scars to show how a phoenix is born from ashes and hope.”

If you’re ready to see how you can take your pain and give back differently, be a part of our new campaign #RiseLikeAPhoenix. It’ll give you a glimpse of what’s possible when it seems like nothing’s left.

Believe in your ability to rise from your own fallen ashes to become brighter and more beautiful than ever before. You can do that. You were born for that.

Never stop wondering how you can rise brighter than you were before.

Love,

Anita J
