Have you ever had to really step out of your comfort zone, and jump head first into a role that you weren’t confident you would be able to excel at? That’s where I thought I was just a few months ago when I was asked if I was interested in a sales position. Reply with a Thumbs up if you have been there! Sometimes experience isn't enough for your mind to be confident in what it can do, and you experience a certain hesitation to move forward with a project, or a task you are given. Being part of MAE-Eitel for as long as I have, I thought I knew a lot about how the company works, and the ins-and-outs of how things flow. Being asked to take on the Sales Manager role for the company really opened my eyes to something new, and to me, scary. I had mastered a number of other roles and tasks at MAE-Eitel, but never something like this. To me, growth is an important part of what I do, and to constantly grow, means that there will be levels of discomfort along the way. You know the saying, no pain - no gain. Not quite literally, but you get the picture. Jumping into a new role can be daunting, but when you have others around you, it makes it a little easier. I hold the value of a good team in high regard, and rely on the expertise of my teammates to build a solid foundation. I enjoy bringing out the best in my people, and let them take the lead when I see their strengths align with the conversation; I find it inspiring actually, to be able to just listen, but also pick up on small nuggets of new information. What we are building at MAE-Eitel is a new brand for ourselves, and I am proud that you have been able to meet the new outward face of your local branch of the company, Nicholas Boyce, Morgan Matlock, and Mitch Tikhman. We look forward to working with you and building up new relationships with those that may have been lost along the way. Come check us out MAE-Eitel, Inc., we have a lot to offer, and aren't afraid of a challenge. Let us know if you have an application that you can't quite seem to figure out; even if your request is outside of our comfort zone, we are excited to work with you!

The best salespeople I know like to LEAD AND they are TEAM PLAYERS. "Really, team players?" - Yes, to fire up sales, it is required. The best people in #sales I know are entrepreneurial. They want to see things done. They are result-oriented. In a few words, they take charge. But they do not do so undiplomatically. They do this WITH others, not to them. You see, enterprise sales is increasingly a team sport. in order to win, many people must play their role - the Sales Engineer (or the Field Engineer), Legal, Support, R&D. Likewise, large accounts cross into multiple locations, sometimes multiple industries. That means colleagues and their own teams must be involved. In that type of environment, facing these kinds of challenges, I saw a few salespeople hitting a wall. Some tried to throw their weight around, and quickly find out it was quite impossible for them to be successful without other members of the team being as dedicated as they are to success. The best way to succeed is to leverage people. To inspire them to succeed together. Not rile them up. And as for the "folksy" background - I shot that one during my vacations in "winter wonderland". Sorry for the pun - it was too tempting. #sales #team #teamwork Yan LU Jim Junker J.T. O'Donnell

I shared how door to door sales helped me kickstart my career. The part I didn’t share yet was how it also helped me land my first job in software sales and have a chance to work for a great leader. After a year of knocking on doors, I applied to Four Winds Interactive to help Scott Weber with lead generation. Scott took a chance on me because he also knocked on doors, and knew that if I was willing to walk outside for leads then I’d be willing to pick up the phone for them. In my first year I’m the job, he taught me: -how to align my interests with my company’s objectives -how patience with a strategy is usually the most effective method for getting to your end goal -what a good work/life balance looks like -a framework for outbound outreach that is still effective for me Our team scheduled a record number of outbound leads that year, and it gave me the confidence and experience I needed to move into a sales role. Who’s someone in your life that impacted your career early on? Give them a shout and see how they’re doing! I bet they’ll appreciate it.

A few years ago, I was expanding an already successful sales team. My existing team was highly effective and cohesive, fostering a culture of friendly competition that propelled their success. My challenge was to introduce new members without disrupting this delicate balance. I had two primary objectives: 1️⃣ I wanted to maintain a unified team with a shared vision and goals. 2️⃣ I wanted to ensure new members felt fully integrated and valued, rather than outliers. To address these, I implemented two strategies. 💫 First, I launched an employee referral program with a twist. Any employee who referred a new salesperson received a bonus. Additionally, if the new hire met a predetermined revenue goal within 90 days, both the referring employee and the new hire received another bonus. This created a vested interest for the existing employees in the success of the newcomer. 💫 Second, I involved my sales team in the final interview process for candidates. This approach gave my team a sense of ownership and allowed them to get to know the candidates, fostering a welcoming environment and ensuring new hires were a good fit for the team. As a result, the team was one of the strongest I ever had. What have you done in similar situations?

##Sales##SalesMan##Passion##iIovesales##Haven##BestProfession##Jobs##Choice##Hardwork##SalesPerson## Being a salesperson is one of the best jobs in the world. If you do it with passion, it becomes the most enjoyable job you could have. It's like turning work into pure joy. You feel on top of the world because you love what you do. But, if you end up in a sales job because you had no other choice or because you're stressed about finding work, it can be really tough. For those people, it might feel like the worst job ever. When you love sales, it's like living in heaven. It's truly the best profession. "I love being in sales—it's the best job out there." A Learner 📚🖊️ 🧠🎯.......

A couple of salesmen from Grant Cardone's office in Miami called me up the other day. The experience was unlike any other. I used the phone call as a sales training session for myself. They knew what I was going to say before I said it. They had an answer for everything and they were asking me the hard questions like any good trained salesmen should. But, this call was different then any other sales call Ive received. I felt their culture through the phone. The Grant Cardone culture is unmatched. The energy I had after the call was unmatched and I was THE CUSTOMER! It was an experience that I'll use to better myself with and over time help others better themselves with as well. Be relentless, ask the hard questions, be genuine, and never forget that almost every objection is fake. That is the culture they carry. Where and how can you begin to build your culture? What can you do today to get an inch better in your career?

Recently I've encountered an article which is all about a Salesperson day to day life,Also how it changes after starting to travel the sales world for 5years the amount of changes we saw that surprise many of outsiders Even to those people who wants to work in sales for many years to come. Nowadays, I see people being so busy that they are not even able to think about their past professional careers. How will they be able to think about their future, this is a big question. We should all think carefully about this Also dropping this link for https://lnkd.in/dkSkwVi2

Are you on a cutthroat sales team? Don’t feed into the culture. Cutthroat sales mentality gives you short term success and gratification. They hardly result in long term and sustainable careers unless the company endorses that type of environment. I've been both. Cutthroat to start off my career as an rookie then learned to be more of a team player to make everyone's lives easier including my own. Opened more doors and networking opportunities. Now I hardly ever have to look for new career opportunities as someone who've worked with me before is either trying to pull me to join them or someone heard from someone about me positively. Be a team player. Let those lone wolves hunt and eat on their own. Eventually they'll run into a behemoth and will need help with nobody in sight while you and your network are feasting continuously.

- Company Culture:   - What are the company's core values? - Sales Team:   - What's the typical sales cycle like? - Customers:   - Who is the ideal customer and what are their pain points? - Role:   - What are the short-term and long-term goals for this position? - Growth:   - What opportunities are there for professional growth and development? These questions demonstrate your interest in the company, role, and customers, and show that you're prepared to think critically about the sales process.
