Skill + Do
While a life in sales provides a constant dopamine hit, you must think about what life looks like down the road. You want your skills to be relevant for a long while, which means planning and growing.
How tired are you of hearing pundits and YouTube experts tell you to "follow your passion"?
Sure, passion is important in the sales life, but there’s much more behind why you battle each day as a professional seller.
You obviously love the chase….the thrill of landing the big fish onto the boat. And you love the mental challenge, too; figuring out how the many pieces of the puzzle fit together on each account is fun!
While your life in sales provides a constant dopamine hit and makes today exciting, you must think about what life will look like down the road. You want your skills to be relevant for as long as you want, which means planning and growing.
To help, interview ANY and EVERY person you know who has already gone down the path. Find out what they’ve learned and missed along the way and what they can share with you about managing a sales career.
You don’t have to conduct all of your said "interviews" this month, but it’ll feel good to start working on the long game.
