As many know (and have even seen live in action… I’m looking at you Ellie Schroeder), I’m always selling, and ALWAYS recruiting.
I’ve also always believed that great sales talent can come from anywhere!
Take myself for example… from commercial driving to sales!
As Ellie may remember, I’ve even recruited from a retail store we went to. (One of the first times we hung out in person, actually 🥲)
Well, it happened again today - I was in an Ulta, I came in for some foundation before my vacation, and a woman came over to help me.
Over our conversation, while building rapport, she’s upselling me on other products, asking me what else I may need. GREAT salesmanship. She even managed to get me to buy some mascara from Estée Lauder!
I told her she was doing a great job, and that I was a salesperson too! (Like recognizes like 😉) - told her she should come work where I work!
Turns out she’s spent much of her career in international business (Did I just find our next all-star international Account Executive?? We’ve got an amazing team here)
We exchanged info, but regardless of what happens, the fact remains: GREAT SALES TALENT CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE!
It also goes to show… ALWAYS be upselling and asking GREAT discovery questions!
