1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.790 Matthew Washington: Hey, everyone, Matt Washington, 2 00:00:02.790 --> 00:00:05.760 Pierce Capital. It's getting close to the end of the month 3 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:09.870 folks, we got today and we got tomorrow for the last few days 4 00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:13.080 to be able to transact deals and, and get deals funded. You 5 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.720 know, sometimes, you know, it's easy to make videos about the 6 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.870 positive the success, the closings, the money, especially 7 00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:22.380 when we're in a performance based business, like most of us 8 00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:26.070 are, you know, so I wanted to make this video for anyone 9 00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:29.370 that's in a slump. Anyone that's that's down anyone that isn't at 10 00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:34.740 their numbers yet. This this video goes out to you. Like I 11 00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:39.300 said, sometimes it's always easy to post the positive and and the 12 00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.210 and the success and the commissions and all the deals 13 00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:45.300 that are funding. And sometimes it doesn't go down like that, 14 00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:48.420 you know, and sometimes it's slow. Sometimes it's tough. And 15 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.690 sometimes you got to, you got to scrape and and fight for deals. 16 00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:54.450 But you know, what I've done in my personal experience is 17 00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:57.990 whenever I'm in a slump, whenever things aren't moving 18 00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:00.390 the way I want them to move, and deals are taking too long to 19 00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:04.080 close. And, you know, you naturally get down and you and 20 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:07.350 you want to find a way to get out of that. That mindset is I 21 00:01:07.350 --> 00:01:12.300 revert back to what made me get to the level I'm at today, when 22 00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:15.180 you didn't care how hard things were when you didn't care making 23 00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:18.450 400 phone calls when you didn't care about following up and 24 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.850 touching base with your customers over and over and over 25 00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:23.760 again, getting up early. You know, it's the things in the 26 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.290 past that we grinded so hard at, they got us to a level to 27 00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.630 sometimes where we can be comfortable. And I'm just 28 00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:33.180 speaking for myself and hope this correlates with someone out 29 00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.720 there. So if if this month, you're not at your goal, if 30 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:39.930 there's if there's if there's some deals that haven't haven't 31 00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:42.750 got closed yet, or if there's just there's just things that 32 00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:49.320 you're not doing to get to those goals, revert back to the grind. 33 00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:52.170 When you didn't care, when struggles hit you, you would you 34 00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:54.750 would hit them face on. You know, that's what I personally 35 00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:57.780 do. And that's actually what I've done this month. And over 36 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:03.480 the last two weeks. It's been pretty good. So if you're out 37 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.120 there, if you're an ISO, broker, a partner of ours, and there's a 38 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.800 deal that would help end your much strong and for some reason, 39 00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:13.590 it hasn't got across the finish line. Or if there's some if 40 00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:16.800 there's some story or situation that needs to be listened to 41 00:02:17.010 --> 00:02:21.150 reach out to me, I'd love to try to help you reach your goal this 42 00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:26.010 month. And just remember, slumps happen in everything that 43 00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:29.280 happens in professional sports happens in all fields of 44 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.760 business, especially performance based business, especially if 45 00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:36.540 you're in sales. And the worst thing that you can do is stay in 46 00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:39.600 that mindset or not try to switch something up, you know, 47 00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.450 and this is just my personal opinion. Everyone has their own 48 00:02:42.450 --> 00:02:45.630 ways of of getting out of slumps. But when I'm in a slump, 49 00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.870 and I need to get something done, I snap out of it. And I 50 00:02:48.870 --> 00:02:53.250 remember the harder times because there was it's your past 51 00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:56.640 that has got you to the level that you're at today. That hard 52 00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:00.930 work, that grit, that not giving up, that not taking no for an 53 00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:05.250 answer, that extra cold callthat extra follow up. It's all those 54 00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:09.480 things that can make or break you and change your month. So 55 00:03:10.950 --> 00:03:13.380 this message is going out for anyone this month that might 56 00:03:13.380 --> 00:03:16.140 need help with the deal. You got a particular deal please reach 57 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:19.590 out to me. DM me, I'd love to talk to you about it.
