In this episode, Jennie and Joanna discuss: Making people recognize your potential Tales of leadership and potential The intersection of ambition, leadership, and potential The power of asking Key Takeaways: Step into the other person's shoes and ask what's in it for them and how you can help them see how to ask for you. The potential is infinitely easier to recognize when it looks and sounds like you infinitely. Take opportunities to a whole new level just like what Cinderella did. If you have any dreams that you want to have come true, you have to figure out how to make your potential easy to recognize and remember. Ambitions are as unique as a pendant fingerprint. When you are curious and don't assume what someone's ambitions are, they will tell you all kinds of things, and helping someone to think through what they want for their future without judgment or assumption is one of the most empowering conversations you can have. To succeed in direct sales, you have to ask people, especially your team what they want. Growing a team and leading the team to achieve their goals is the fastest way to succeed. “If you have an ambition, how do you make it easy for the people who can say yes to your ambition to say yes? Everybody makes a decision in a room that you're not in about whether they're going to say yes to the future you or not.” – Joanna Bloor Free Gift:Discovery Experiments - https://www.talesofpotential.com/ CONNECT WITH JOANNA: Website: https://www.talesofpotential.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannabloor/ Book: Amazon CONNECT WITH JENNIE: Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Email:  [email protected] Facebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPL Facebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Facebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMoms Instagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenniebellinger LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery Show Notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
