Why Chasing The Wrong Deal Costs More Than Just Time
One of the hardest things to learn in sales is this:
Not every deal is yours to win.
And the longer you chase one that isn’t right, the more you lose.
Time. Energy. Sanity.
Not to mention the opportunity to focus on the clients who actually want to work with you.
I’ve chased deals where I knew, deep down, it wasn’t the right fit.
But I kept following up. Kept trying.
Kept convincing myself I could turn it around.
The truth?
If the trust isn’t there, if the energy is off, if the client has one foot out the door…
It almost never works out.
It’s a skill to know when to push and when to pivot.
The earlier you learn that, the more space you make for the right clients to show up.
