Walk through scenarios with friends or colleagues. Maybe a conversation that didn’t go well with a prospect or potential client or a vendor. 

Whatever it may be it’s good to get someone else’s perspective on the situation.

Figure out what they have done in the same situation. What worked. What they think you could do differently and why. What they think you did well.

Go talk with successful people in your company that you trust. That have proven results. People that are willing to help.

Try to do this once a week. Ask your successful colleagues to lunch. Ask them as many questions as you can. Don’t go after the silver bullet approach because there isn’t one.

Practice getting better at your craft. If it’s a skill you’re truly passionate about improving you need to walk through these types of scenarios on a consistent basis. It’s how you become one of the best in your field.

Keep on practicing until you’ve internalized the information. After that, practice some more.

Test what you’ve learned. Don’t take advice and not implement it. That’s a waste of time. 

Immediately experiment with what you’ve learned. 

Focus on the constant effort for improvement by practing multiple scenarios.
