May 2023 – Do I Need a Sales Coach?

WINNING AT SELLING ·

2023/05/05

Sales is a difficult and often lonely business. Despite all of those meetings, lunches and golf dates each salesperson, at the end of the day or week or month, is left alone with their quota and their commission check. If we didn’t do so good, we can turn to our sales manager for help, if we dare. But this might show weakness and hurt our career. Perhaps we can try to get our coaching from podcasts but we all know those can be spotty at best! So, what should we do? Maybe we should consider

Gas prices almost doubled in 2 years and then settled back to a 60% rise, which increases the cost of anything that has to be delivered.
