Pressure has a way of making shortcuts feel reasonable. It makes exceptions sound harmless. And in leadership, sales, and business growth, when you break the rules, you’re going to have consequences. Want to break the rules? Better be sure.

In this episode of Purpose Under Pressure, host Bryan Lefelhoc, founder of Bryan Media Strategies, talks about the emotional pull of sales, the adrenaline of closing deals, and why that feeling can become dangerous if it starts overriding process, standards, and discipline

Rules need to exist long before pressure arrives. Strong salespeople and leaders need to decide in advance how they will operate instead of making emotional decisions in the moment. Rules were not meant to be broken.
