If any of you have ever wanted to try a career in sales you’d probably think of selling Kirby Vacuum cleaners door-to-door. Maybe you were handed a phone book and ordered to start making cold calls.
Wasn’t it painful at first? Humiliating? What do I say?
Did your sales manager ask you to write a list of everyone that you personally know?
Did you feel like a 19-gauge sawed off shotgun with everyone as your target?
Until you really know your customers, have deep relationships with them; you are truly throwing spaghetti and meatball plates at the wall and seeing what ‘sticks’.
Throwing Spaghetti on the Wall
As a beginner is sales, they will always tell you,
“kid, it’s a numbers game. Now, get back on the [expletive] phone.”
Maybe in successive years, as you hang in there, you may notice majority of your sales are coming from the deep personal relationships you build with people.
Now, Realizing as of late, I have had an old-world mentality approach to sales. I’m now astonished that I spent hours weeks and months cold calling prospects that didn’t know me from Adam.
My mentality was that only through cold calling, blind prospecting and bulk-emailing that I would build up enough contacts and hopefully one of them would pick me!
Does this sound familiar?
How frustrating is dialing one after another and getting rejection for reason X, Y, and Z!
