As we celebrate the remarkable career of this iconic rockstar, let’s draw inspiration from his enduring success and apply it to the world of sales.

Like Mick, sales professionals must have the charisma and stage presence to captivate their audience. Whether it’s a live performance or a sales pitch, engaging your audience is key.

Just as Mick continuously evolves his music, successful salespeople adapt their approach to meet changing market demands. Embrace innovation and stay ahead of the competition!

Moreover, Mick’s perseverance through challenges is a valuable lesson for sales. In the face of rejection, keep pushing forward, refining your techniques, and learning from each experience.

Lastly, surround yourself with a talented team – just as the Rolling Stones have done. In sales, collaboration and mentorship can amplify your success.

Let’s toast to Mick Jagger’s 80 years of greatness and use his rockstar principles to excel in the art of sales coaching. #SalesCoaching #MickJagger80th #Inspiration

Kerri Pottharst and I met on Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia in 1992. And 8 years after that friendship began, she won the Olympic Gold medal in Beach Volleyball on that same sand, on her “home court” at the pinnacle of her career.

She made the transition to the beach in ‘92 following a damn near career-ending knee injury playing indoor volleyball. And 4 short years later she won the Bronze medal in Atlanta at the 1996 Olympics. Then Bondi Beach GOLD happened in 2000. I will never forget watching her win from a hotel in Vancouver, Canada. Unbelievable, seeing that trajectory, defeating teams that had played beach their entire careers where Kerri was the “older” player out there at the age of 35. What a STORY!

How did she do it? Hard work, skill development, Coaching and a fierce discipline to succeed. It’s all well-documented and has become Kerri’s passion in her post-playing days. In addition to being a volleyball commentator, Coach, Professional Speaker, Businesswoman and Mom to her son Tyson, she is also helping other athletes to tell their stories, and how to transition athletic success into other parts of life.

We had dinner in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles last week, and Kerri spoke about her journey, ups and downs and the grit to keep moving. A few years ago, she told me that she believes she won the gold medal so that she could help others, and she is doing just that.

Happy 80th Birthday to the Legendary Mick Jagger!
