The Transformation: From Sloth to Sales Superstar
Meet Mike, a top seller who couldn't sell himself on the idea of consistent workouts. He applied his sales mesocycle approach to fitness:
Prospecting Phase: Started with just 15-minute walks during call breaks.
Nurturing Phase: Graduated to basic strength training, focusing on form.
Closing Phase: Ramped up intensity with HIIT workouts.
Admin Phase: Yoga and stretching for recovery, planning next cycle.
Result? Mike boosted his energy, dropped 20 pounds, and increased his sales by 15%. "I realized my body deserved the same attention to detail as my biggest accounts," Mike shared.
