Hi. My name is Vincent Finaldi, and in this video, I wanted to answer the question, How can I sell more? How can I produce more? How can I be better in the sales profession?

This might be annoying to hear, but the answer for me was to drink less. Am I here to judge? I binge drank on the weekends in my twenties. I went away to college.

I did all the things that most of us do by overdrinking and partying. But what I found as I entered my thirties and forties and started taking things a bit more seriously, drinking less resulted in more sales. Now you might not see the correlation at first, but over time, there’s a cyclical effect where on Friday morning, if you get to work at eight AM and you’re in the zone, you’re energetic, you’re refreshed, you had a good night of sleep, you’re gonna be ready to hit people up, hit your referral partners, call prospects and customers, try to win business, try to differentiate yourself, try to be interesting.

So while this video is not intended to be preachy or annoying to not drink alcohol, I can tell you for me personally, drinking less. I reduced my drinking by about eighty percent. I still drink. So if you see me out there, don’t think I’m a hypocrite. But I just drink less than I used to, and I strongly believe if you’re in the sales profession, drinking less will make you more money.
