This is a YouTube video titled "The Power of Persistence in Business: Creating Offers That Convert" containing a motivational talk by Beverley Simpson recorded in May 2025. Beverley discusses the importance of persistence in business, using Derek Jeter's baseball career as a metaphor to emphasize focusing on wins despite many attempts.
This is why reps are so important. Derek Jeter is in the hall of Fame for the, you know, hall of Fame for home runs, which I think off the top of my head is 261. I can't remember. But in the 200s. Okay, 260. 261 is what comes to mind. Do you know how many at bats he had? 11,000. That means he stepped up to the plate 11,000 times. Over 11,000 times. I can't remember the exact number, but I know it's over 11,000. And he has 261 home. And yet he is revered and celebrated, which is great. I want you to do the same thing for your business. Focus on the wins instead of all the at bats. But you need those at bats to get to the wins.
