For many small and midsize businesses, compliance feels like a moving target. New regulations, evolving cybersecurity threats, and increased reliance on cloud platforms and remote workspaces have made it more complex than ever.

Most sales leaders spend their time focused on process, strategy, and technique. But according to the Sandler methodology, none of those things matter if the salesperson’s attitude is working against them. A salesperson who believes the market is saturated, prospects are impossible to reach, or goals are unrealistic will often behave differently, even if they do not realize it.

The foundation of productive strength training is intensity. In exercise science, intensity is one of the primary drivers of muscle growth (hypertrophy) and strength adaptation. It turns out that the exact number of reps we perform, how much weight we lift, the exact machine or free weight we employ, or the number of sets we perform are all of far less import than pushing the set to muscle failure—or at least very close to failure.
