Thank You for Believing in Me - Sales Motivation
Updated: 5 days ago
Richard and Jayne take this Monday together.
Richard: Morning, Beasts. I'm Richard, one of the SalesBEAST coaches. New York roots, Florida sunshine, and a garage full of half finished projects I swear I'm getting to. I'm the map guy: you bring me the goal, I'll help you draw the route.
Jayne: And I'm Jayne. I coach here too, I run, I do yoga, and I'm behind the recipes in my kitchen on this site. Richard's the map. I'm the mirror. Usually one of us shows up on Mondays. Today you get both, so settle in.
The person who saw it first
Richard: Here's today's truth, my friend. Some of us wouldn't be here without that one person. The one who saw something in us before we saw it ourselves. The one who didn't just pat us on the back but pushed us forward.
Jayne: The one who looked you in the eye and said, "You've got this," when you honestly weren't sure you did.
Richard: Could've been a boss who took a chance when your résumé was thin and your confidence was thinner. A coach. A teacher. A mentor. Someone at home who said, "Go for it," when the move made no sense on paper.
Jayne: Someone who lit your fuse and then stepped back, trusting you'd figure out how to burn bright.
Richard: For me it was an old marina owner who let a kid with more nerve than know how take apart a boat motor. He watched me fail at it twice. The third time, he just nodded and walked away. That nod carried me for years.
Jayne: That's a very Richard story. Even your gratitude has an outboard in it.
Why belief changes everything
Jayne: I'll say it plainly. Belief is one of the most valuable gifts you'll ever receive. You can't hold it in your hand, but it changes the way you walk into a room.
Richard: When someone believes in you, it makes you measure up. Not to their expectations, to the potential they see in you. It makes you push harder when you want to quit. It makes you get up faster when you've been knocked down.
Jayne: And it changes how you carry yourself, because you're not just representing you anymore. You're carrying their trust. That's a good kind of weight.
Richard: That's exactly why this Monday isn't about the next deal or the next number. It's about remembering who believed in you before the wins.
Jayne: Which brings up the obvious question. Have you ever actually told them?
Richard: And there's the mirror. She always finds it.
The plan for this week
Richard: Alright, here's the map.
Name them. Write down the one person who believed in you when it mattered most.
Write it out. Two or three sentences: what they did, and what it changed for you.
Reach out. Send the message, make the call, or say it face to face if you can.
Say it without hesitation: "Thank you for believing in me."
Prove them right. Pick one thing you'll do this week that would make them proud, and do it.
Jayne: One sharp point on step three. Don't wait for the perfect wording. Nobody has ever received a thank you and complained that it was a little clumsy. Send it today.
Richard: Told you she's the wise one.
Jayne: You told them. I've just been waiting for you to say it in writing.
Richard: Say this with us: "I won't waste the belief you've given me."
Before you go
Jayne: If this made you think of someone, tap the heart. Then share it with them, or tag the person who believed in you first. They'll want to know.
Richard: Follow SalesBEAST so you never miss a Monday from either of us. And here's a thought: thank someone in person over a good meal. Jayne's quick, real recipes make that easy.
Jayne: Everything in my kitchen is simple enough to make for someone you're grateful for. Visit Jayne's Kitchen
Richard: In the comments, tell us who believed in you, and what it meant. First names only, or just "my old coach" works fine.
That's Beast Mode.
Richard and Jayne
