In this short monologue, the speaker reflects on a major mistake in his sales career: allowing ego and emotions to drive his behavior. He describes how overconfidence when a prospect shows interest and lingering disappointment after a lost sale caused him to lose subsequent opportunities. The speaker emphasizes that emotional reactions are detrimental to consistent sales performance. He advocates for a KPI‑driven, process‑oriented approach to closing deals, suggesting that clear metrics and a structured closing process help keep emotions in check and improve outcomes.

And the next mistake I've done is letting my ego win. This is a situation where I used to be super emotional about sales. I used to get on sales calls, if somebody is buying, I was like, gee, yeah, I'm the master. Now everybody needs to buy kind of situation. Or if somebody is not buying, I would even lose other opportunities who were actually good because I would carry on the emotion of not having that sale and carry that forward with the next people I'm actually jumping on sales calls with. So you really don't want to be emotional in a sales game. You want to be KPI-driven. You want to have a clear process to follow when you're actually closing.
