Description

Trim unproductive clients and leads to release what holds you back, grow stronger, and boost sales. This is how releasing extra can lead to more. More leads may not bring you more sales. Better leads will.
Every year in South Florida, right before hurricane season, there’s a familiar sound—chainsaws and trimmers cutting back palm fronds and branches. At first glance, it looks like you’re weakening the trees. But if you’ve lived here long enough, you know the truth: when you trim, the trees don’t get weaker. They actually grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

That same principle applies to sales. Growth doesn’t always come from adding more—more clients, more leads, more networking events. Real growth often happens when you strategically release what’s draining your energy and resources. In this episode of The Slow Pitch Sales Podcast, Rob explores why trimming back unproductive areas of your sales world is not just smart—it’s necessary.
