What separates a consistently great salesperson from a consistently mediocre one - when they work for the same company, sell the same product, and operate in the same market? Bestselling author David Brock returns to the show to answer exactly that. After writing the Sales Manager Survival Guide, David spent years trying to crack what was missing from the conversation around sales performance. The answer became his latest book, Good Enough, Good Enough - and it has nothing to do with your CRM, your tech stack, or your training programs. In this episode, David and St John unpack the mindsets and behaviours that actually drive sales excellence: caring, purpose, curiosity, accountability and discipline. David explains why a 15% win rate means you're losing 85% of the time, why organisations that hit their numbers are often the ones most blind to their own mediocrity, and why the soft stuff is the hardest stuff for managers to coach.
