One other thing that took me awhile to get over was making asks (asking potential customers to become customers).
Some people say this is like asking someone out on a date. I've been in a relationship for 5 years so that didnt help me a lot.
I had to just start doing it. And anticipated the first 20 would go horribly wrong.
And thats kind of what happened. Now I don't really get attached to an opportunity at all. The faster you can get to that point the better you will be at selling.
- hluska 9y agoWhen I was young, I got a great piece of advice about dating that has oddly turned me into a pretty good salesperson. When you're looking to date, you'll see (and hopefully meet) lots of interesting people. On average 1/10 of the people you find interesting will find you interesting. Then, of the 1/10 who find you interesting, about half will be in a place to do anything about that. That attitude has been good for me in sales, because it has kept me from getting too attached to a prospect. Though, when I was getting started, it was tough because I didn't iterate on my approaches quickly enough.
