Happy late February everyone!

As you may or may not know, the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years!

Disclaimer: I’m an avid Denver Broncos fan BUT a big fan of Head Coach Andy Reid and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

According to CBS Sports, the Chiefs were the FIRST team to trail by 10+ plus points in ALL 3 postseason games and come back and win each games

The city was electric and energetic and great to see the town painted red.

I won’t bore you to death will all the game details but in the Chief’s first playoff game at home, they were down 24-0 in the FIRST quarter and came back and won! What a comeback. Lots of teams would have given up and gone home.

What was their secret formula?

My answer is this: Grit. Persistence. Perseverance. Determination.

(I know, not very sexy or glamorous answers, but I think it’s part of why they won.)

How does this relate to lead generation, business development, or sales?

Too often we look for quick, easy and instant answers, formulas and quick fixes.

More often than not, it doesn’t exist. Sometimes we have to grind it out, day by day, whether we feel like it or not, no matter how far behind the score is.

Can you relate?
