Minimalism in sales

How did Minimalism began for me?

The founders of the Minimalists, Joshua Milburn, and Ryan Nicodemus summarised it perfectly. “Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom.” It is through the practice of minimalism that has helped me find the efficiency within my sales process.

As for me, I practiced minimalism a long time ago. It all started when I sold and removed all the pieces of furniture from my home more than 20 years ago prior to moving to Sydney for a career change. I was still living there for a couple of weeks. During this time, I noticed the additional space I had. So much so that it echoed when I spoke. One of the funniest memories is when my best friend came for dinner and he was shocked. “Were you robbed recently?” he asked.

Fast forwarding my life, I continued the minimalism practice until now in my new company, Awake By Five AM. The reason for this is because I enjoy the benefits minimalism offers throughout my sales and sales management career.

Is it quite ironic isn’t it? Combining the words “sales” and “minimalism” in the same sentence. The context that I will be focussing on is how I used minimalism principles to simplify the sales process using technologies.

Please note: I will be discussing the exact tools that I used to achieve my goals. There is no reason why you can’t use alternative tools to achieve the same result.
