Pressure has a way of convincing people to ignore what they already know. When goals, commissions, and expectations pile up, it becomes very easy to convince yourself that “this time will be different.” Then, we say “Yes”, when we should have said “No”.

In this episode of Purpose Under Pressure, host Bryan Lefelhoc, founder of Bryan Media Strategies, talks about the importance of systems, processes, and learning how to say no to the wrong opportunities.

Salespeople and well-meaning organizations often create their biggest problems by abandoning the very systems designed to protect them. When leaders stick to systems instead of emotions, they avoid repeating old mistakes. And when organizations learn to say no to the wrong opportunities, they make room for the right ones.
