Triathlons & the Dogs that Dart in Your Path

“Perhaps the smart thing to do with a bad case of road rash and a couple of cracked ribs would be to quit.”

I stepped off the 13-hour flight tired but confident. I’d trained for this meeting with a potential client from a country 10 times zones ahead of my own. I knew my product inside and out and had studied international relations in school; but more importantly, my life since age 17 had been built around understanding and working with people from all over the world.

Then a dog darted out between parked cars and I flew over my handlebars.

Wait. That happened to me at a triathlon a couple years ago, not at an airport.

So what did I do?

Perhaps the smart thing to do with a bad case of road rash and a couple of cracked ribs would be to quit.

But I work out daily for the two yearly triathlons my travel-heavy schedule permits. That dog (which was fine, to the relief of my family) was not going to cut into 50% of my year. So I picked up my bike, limped to transition, and ran the final leg of the race. A couple hours later I was on a series of three flights to get to Newfoundland to meet a customer.

I didn’t win, I didn’t place, but I showed.

Global sales management is like training for and completing that triathlon. I’ve had to develop long-term goals and do what it takes to meet them.

I don’t have it written on a plaque in my office, but if I did my global sales management motto would read, “Prepare…and be ready for any dog that darts into your path.”
