Appreciation post: the mentor who cut our weekly meeting to 10 minutes and doubled my sales
Back in March she told me "you talk more than you listen," so I started sending one-page agendas before every call and stopped pitching so hard. Has anyone else had a mentor flip their whole approach with one blunt comment?
That one comment probably saved you years of figuring it out on your own, because most people never hear it straight like that. The agenda thing is smart too, it forces you to get clear on what you actually need before you open your mouth, and that alone changes how the whole call goes. Cutting the meeting to 10 minutes was the real gift though, since it made you do the work instead of leaning on her.
