I had totally the wrong criteria when I chose my first sales roles. I thought: 💲Package 📈 Size ≡ better onboarding ⚠️ Taking less risk Were the keys to me learning and progressing in sales. Truth is, I was underconfident and didn't back myself to make a challenging role, work. I sought the safety net. Now, the criteria I value are: 🤵♀️ Leaders that are fundamentally good people. It will reflect in your work, relationships and progression. 💰Companies that are properly run, and managed financially. 🌱 Opportunities that will challenge you to be better: holes in that safety net. Great people, great business, great opportunities = money, prestige, status - whatever it is you look for in life and work. For me, it's mastery. #Kluster has created an environment that has genuinely influenced who I am as a human being, not just a sales rep. That's why we have a winning culture. Still, people rightly have different criteria and outcomes they look for from work - what are yours?
Venatrix - what do you recommend new reps think about?
Paul McCarthy - EngageTech have a fantastic culture where lots of folks have progressed through the business. What do you think the key points are?
‘🤵♀️ Leaders that are fundamentally good people. It will reflect in your work, relationships and progression. 💰Companies that are properly run, and managed financially. 🌱 Opportunities that will challenge you to be better: holes in that safety net.’ ^ This! And a room without a ceiling for development to become a master in your role.
Honour to have you from the very day you started, TW!
Your experience resonates with mine. Initially, I also valued safety and a good package. As I matured, I realized the value of good leadership and challenging opportunities. Mastery has also become a key driver for me. Thanks for sharing your journey!
We're humbled to have you as a Klusterite, Tom!
