If we lose a sale or don’t progress, it tends to have the opposite effect. Much of our motivation is dependent upon extrinsic or external events; those things that we often don’t have control over.

A client asked me to interview a candidate for a key sales role. The sales person had several jobs over the past 5 years, none lasting longer than 18 months. He had been in his current job for 9 months. In each role, he outlined his stellar accomplishments, his great wins, his quota over-attainment. I was suitably wowed! I dug in a little, what’s the onboarding time for each of these roles?

Sales is an essential part of being in business, which means that organizations throw vast resources to get the foundation down right. At its heart, sales is about communicating the value of your service or product in a way that resonates with your audience. The reality is that no matter how innovative and valuable your solution is, if you can’t explain why a buyer should purchase your solution, you won’t win the deal.
