Annoyance: If you are pushy and annoying, chances are you are turning off prospects. Who wants to do business with someone who makes them anxious or angry? Consider your co-workers, too. Teamwork boosts sales, yet your teammates may be keeping you out of the loop if you constantly annoy them. Few people want to do favors for or business with anyone they find annoying. Observe how you act, and be careful not to annoy. Get a person you trust to give you feedback. Be open to change. It might just help your sales.

What if you love your sales job and you're good at it, but you don't get as much attention as the more outgoing people in your organisation? What if your manager doesn't appreciate your value and wants you to adapt to become more outgoing? What if you're not getting the respect that you deserve because you're not the type to speak up for yourself and command that respect? I value diversity and believe that nobody should be judged or a victim of bias. Here's the BUT! You've gotta help yourself. This 'woe is me' mindset isn't going to help your career progress or get you the recognition you deserve. DM me and let's have a conversation about your future.

I’ll be the first to admit that there are few things I hate more than not knowing the answer to something. But it’s something I work on constantly. As I’ve continued my professional journey in sales, I’ve learned that one perspective has helped me grow significantly: “Im going to treat this new situation as if I know nothing and be open to learning anything I can.” Early in my sales career, I desperately wanted to approach every new situation as an expert and it was my achilles heel. In recognizing that I don’t know what I don’t know, I’ve become more comfortable with relying on the colleagues around me for their mentorship and expertise. If you’re like me and hate not knowing the answer, take a step back and recognize your opportunity for growth. It’ll be a game-changer. #MondayMotivation
