What nobody tells you (but really should)
All things are difficult before they are easy.

Sales in DACH just turned 3 months old 😍
And wow… what a ride.
🚀 1.1k+ Followers on LinkedIn
📩 3.1k+ Newsletter Subscribers
📊 Customer success stories with +20% Conversion in just weeks
But as much as these wins mean to me... behind the scenes the past year has been incredibly tough for me and for so many of the sellers and sales leaders I speak to every week.
How come some sellers still manage to break through?
After speaking to dozens of them through the Sales in DACH Academy, I’ve noticed a pattern.
It’s not just about technique.
It’s not just about tools.
It’s about what’s going on behind all of this.
🧠 Their Winning Mindset.
And no, I don’t mean “just believe in yourself” or other Instagram-ready one-liners.
I’m talking about the real mindset work.
The kind that helps you handle 10 no’s before you get a yes.
The kind that helps you show up again, even when everything in you wants to tap out.
What the research says 👇
📚 According to Stanford’s Carol Dweck:
Sellers fall into 2 camps:
🔒 Fixed Mindset:
“They ghosted me… I must have messed it up.”
🔓 Growth Mindset:
“They ghosted me… okay, what can I try differently next time?”
📊 A LinkedIn study found that sellers with a growth mindset:
✔️ Are 33% more likely to hit quota
✔️ Ramp almost 2 weeks faster
✔️ Feel way more satisfied with their job (even when it’s tough)
But here’s where it gets really interesting:
In DACH, mindset matters more.
❌ You won’t win by being the loudest in the room.
✅ You win by showing up again and again. By building trust. By playing the long game.
So… what can you actually do?
Here are 3 mindset shifts I swear by (and teach in the Academy):
1️⃣ Stop hoping. Start owning.
Don’t say “I hope they reply.”
Say “I’ll make this follow-up worth replying to.”
YOU own your outreach. So take the control and get cracking!
2️⃣ Reframe rejection.
That “no” isn’t personal. It’s a data point.
Use it. Learn from it. Move forward.
3️⃣ Consistency > motivation.
You won’t always feel like it.
But showing up when it’s hard? That’s what builds your pipeline!
The sad truth...
A lot of sellers want to learn this stuff.
But only a few actually can, because access to great training is still a privilege.
Most companies cannot or don't want to offer a 1k learning budget.
But I have built Sales in DACH to change that.
So here’s what we’re going to do:
