I walked in for a COLD DROPIN at Furniture Row Companies my nerves were going a mile a minute. It's the thrill of being in sales and getting over the anxiety that always accompanies any form of cold outreach. For anyone that thinks others don't experience 'the butterflies,' we all do! It's a matter of taking those emotions, giving yourself some grace in feeling them, pushing through, opening the door, introducing yourself, and having the conversation. Worst case scenario, you're in the same spot you were before opening the door and walking through! Be brave, get tough, & do your BIZDEV! #coldsales #outbound #coldcalling #rollingsuds #sales #powerwashing

If you're as excited as I am about all that is happening along KC's Riverfront, join me at the upcoming WTS program! See information about the panel discussion and registration below!

🚀 From Cornfield to Commerce: The Remarkable Transformation of Nebraska Crossing 🌽➡️🏢 Just over a decade ago, the space now known as Nebraska Crossing was a sprawling cornfield. Today, it stands as a testament to what vision, ambition, and relentless effort can achieve. Hosting 85 global brands, Nebraska Crossing has become a beacon of retail innovation and success in the heartland of America. But the journey doesn’t stop here. The visionary developers behind Nebraska Crossing are pushing the boundaries even further. Plans are underway to expand the retail haven into a comprehensive entertainment and living space. High-end stores, residential buildings, and diverse entertainment options are on the horizon, including a venue that could potentially host professional sports events. Imagine transforming a simple cornfield into potentially the best entertainment venue in the state. This is more than just development; it’s a story of transformation, ambition, and the belief that with a strong vision and unwavering will, anything is possible. As someone who has witnessed this remarkable transformation from my own backyard, I’m a testament to the idea that no dream is too big when backed by effort and vision. Nebraska Crossing’s journey from a cornfield to a center of commerce and entertainment is a powerful reminder of the incredible distances we can go when we dare to dream and work hard to realize those dreams. Let’s celebrate the spirit of innovation and the power of vision that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. #Innovation #Development #NebraskaCrossing #VisionIntoReality #nhl #nhlhockey
