SalesTech Quote-of-the-Week!
Overcommunication during this time is critically important. I’ve done something where I open my calendar for folks to join me, completely voluntarily, for a meal. Sometimes it’s breakfast for those in Southeast Asia, Australia, and Europe. The point is to have an hour where no more than five employees can sign up so we can break bread together over a Zoom call. In doing so, we get to know each other by talking about anything, business related or not. And it turns out that in most of these meetings I do zero talking because it’s mostly about having co-workers meet and catch up in a manner that’s productive and casual.

If you’re starting a new sales role, or considering one, make sure your company has an excellent product or service. Talk to customers if you have to before taking the position. We’re fortunate to have great products and happy customers at Centerfield. Beyond that, sales reps need to approach their markets with tenacity and enthusiasm.
