How to Deal with Sales Chaotic Nature

Description:

Sales work has an inherently chaotic and disorganized nature. As sales Ninjas we want to learn to work with and not against these tendencies. Firstly, we’ll address emotional friction. It can be uncomfortable to reach out to customers as doubts and insecurities arise in your own mind. Your new customers are cautious around you too, unsure whether they can trust you, your product or the timing. Furthermore you are dealing with a natural ebb and flow cycle in your sales deals which can result in “feast or famine” type results over time. What about task switching? How can you approach your and your client’s uncertain availability? In this video find out what you can do to manage all of these sales realities better, and cultivate more focus and structure in your daily work.
