Imagine, your car breaks down, and you have the skills to fix it. You reach for the tool box and find what you think are the appropriate set of tools. Great, there's just one problem, you have an American car, and your tools are metric and made for a foreign car. Now, you can either buy a new set of tools, or have the car towed to a mechanic or dealer at great expense.
Think, what having the wrong tools is costing you.
Now, imagine you're a young Artist, and landed that first big show at what you think is a prestigious gallery. All of a sudden, the owner tells you that you are responsible for the costs of hosting an opening, and that the 'split' is different from what was previously agreed upon, and they want to lower the prices of your work. You can try to cancel the show and remove your art from the gallery, and possibly wind up with a bad reputation and ruined career . All of a sudden, what you thought was a great career move and step up, turns into a disaster.
What would the result have been if you did some research on the gallery? Perhaps you could have located and then spoken with other artists who have exhibited there in the recent past. Maybe, it would have behooved you to spend a bit of money and have an attorney write a basic deal memo, in advance. Rather than scaring the gallery owner, it could have resulted in them seeing you in a different light, as a young professional with a good sense of business.
You've just been promoted to the position of Sales and Marketing Director. Wow, no more cold calls. but how is your new team going to increase sales and keep existing clients happy? If, you're instructing your staff to continue to do things the way you were taught, perhaps your not closing as many deals as you could, and given competition and shifts in the marketplace, you could be in danger of losing clients of long-standing. Now, the negative self talk begins. What are you to do?
Wouldn't it be helpful to have a skilled and truly objective expert to speak with while you're being considered for the promotion? How much easier would it be to find yourself totally prepared and ready to do the job? What would it be worth, if you truly knew what you are selling? How many more deals could you close if you and your team prepared and rehearsed like a football team, in advance, for any calls and meetings? You might even eliminate those negative worrisome feelings, and get a good night's sleep.
