Great sales people learned this a longtime ago. There is no hiding in sales. You can’t sit in a corner and wait to be bailed out or rescued.
Knowing no one is coming is empowering. It forces us to work a little harder. We become more creative. We build better relationships.
When no one is coming, we stop focusing on the problem and focus on solutions. When no one is coming, being idle is death.
To sales people, knowing no one is coming comes with the territory. They push, strive and fight for success.
Sales people often get a bad rap. Sometimes it’s deserved, but most the time it’s just because they are always moving, working to solve problems, and getting things done. This scares people, especially those who are waiting for someone to come.
In sales, no one is coming and there is no hiding. It’s just part of the gig.
What would you do different, if you knew no one was coming?
