#Recruiters, a little unconventional, perhaps, but this is how I learned what makes a skilled sales professional. Who would have guessed that what I learned while working at the Guam Hilton would have shaped my understanding of sales? But if you think about it, it really isn't that odd. Sales is about building relationships. And what better way than daily interaction with guests from around the world. They were "buyers" after all. They bought a hotel room, food, beverages, souvenirs, and experiences. And all of us at the #guamhilton were sellers. In fact, I think I learned more about sales working at the hotel - first as front desk clerk and then as disco manager - than in many of the sales trainings I attended. That's because #sales is human-to-human. Recruiters, I've included interview questions at the end of the carousel that I've used to get a better understanding of how sales candidates treat these special relationships. Their answers often given insight into their skill level.

While interning as a sales associate, I have learned many new things but these are the top 10 that I have learned over the past few months 1) Customer service 2) Tracking inventory and making sure it's correct 3) Appropriate dress 4) Making sure items are priced correctly 5) Inputting customer information 6) Staging and presentation 7) Maintaining a clean workspace 8) Staying organized 9) Taking good notes 10) How beneficial to-do lists are

How do you view titles? I’ve heard people talk about admins as merely low level gate keepers. I’ve heard a CEO actually say to a sales person “Do you know who I am? You need to earn my respect.” To both I hold up the middle finger with all do respect and respond as 🤣🤣🤣 Titles don’t matter. Respect the person. It doesnt need to be earned because your title doesn’t matter. You’re not the President of the United States. You wouldn’t talk that way to the President - no matter you’re opinion of them. If I walk into a building & the doorman asks me to “wait here” while they call the parties I’m meeting - then I’ll wait before being called up. I won’t brush them aside and say “They know I’m coming” and just walk past. Respect is respect. Human is human. Respect the position. The admin - is your first point of contact. The doorman. The receptionist. The janitor cleaning the floor. Respect the person and the job they do. You aren’t above them and they aren’t below you.

YOU DON’T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE. I speak to so many Managers looking for experienced Sales Persons while telling me that they love hiring Bartenders and Hotel Personnel. So which one is it? I have to tell everyone some cold hard truths. If you haven’t shifted your focus from Sales to Customer Service than you are continuing to take your knife to gunfights. By the time a customer arrives at your lot, 93% of the time they have looked at your car a minimum of 7 times. Real talk here. They don’t need you to sell it. They need you to present your product while facilitating their purchase. We have got to start figuring this out. Hire people that want to make customers feel wow’d. Focus on the experience. If you want to improve your numbers than start by improving your mindset on personnel. We have now entered into a world where selling the sizzle is everything because customers already know what steak they want. Have a great weekend and pay attention to your people. There are winners at every junction but sometimes you have to teach them how to win. #DREAMSINDRIVEWAYS

Industry specificity can be a job seeker's obstacle and a hiring manager's ally. I choose customer service very early in my career realizing its ability to transcend industry. Over the last few years I have been watching a trend of industry specificity for customer service/support roles. As one recent interviewer put it, "you need to walk like a duck to be seen as a duck". That hiring process resulted in a rejection letter ( a very kind, caring notification) for me stating they went with someone whose background better aligned with the industry. I was a very motivated and curious goose. They hired the duck. I chose customer service to gain exposure to new industries and the opportunity to learn new worlds - and I feel I have done quite well. But, this has made me think about where I can walk like a duck. My most recent brace or flock is Healthcare. My passion for helping others is two-fold in the Healthcare arena. I have the ability to assist providers and staff, in turn making it easier for them to provide an excellent experience for patients. Win - win, and win for me. And, I can't forget my OG flock/brace of Hospitality. I mean, it is the epitome of "customer service". It was my reservation agent role at Marriott that made me realize CS is where I want to be. Snoop Dogg duck = Hospitality. Drake duck = Healthcare Where are you most able to walk like a duck and why?
