Surviving Outside Sales – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Send us a text

The outside sales world offers abundant opportunities to reinvent your approach and grow your business, but success requires building a strong foundation that can withstand market changes and client turnover.

• Without the right foundation, your territory becomes vulnerable like a house of cards 
• There's no such thing as status quo in sales – you're either growing or shrinking
• Recurring revenue models allow you to stack clients and grow more quickly than one-time sales
• Becoming the go-to expert means understanding how to elevate your buyer's future state
• Decision-makers constantly ask colleagues for referrals, making word-of-mouth invaluable
• Most important business decisions happen when you're not in the room
• Being recognized as an industry expert attracts warm leads and opportunities
• Small adjustments to your approach, presentation or appearance can enhance credibility

If you want to know more about becoming a go-to expert in your field, please reach out to me at mike@survivingoutsidesales.com or DM me on LinkedIn for a free consultation.

Building a relentless growth mindset is the foundation for scaling your sales business without fear, allowing you to overcome plateaus and consistently push forward. We explore how adopting a "yes mentality" can transform your territory and help you navigate market changes even when facing significant obstacles.

• Q2 brings increased seasonal disruptions to sales calendars as summer approaches
• The difference between success and stagnation is maintaining a relentless growth mindset
• "Plateauing" isn't permanent—it's a signal that you need to change your approach
• Leverage your advocates to overcome obstacles by directly asking for their help
• Market environments constantly evolve, but many salespeople don't adapt accordingly
• Creating artificial challenges (like signing up for a difficult race) can help develop resilience
• Saying "yes" until you can't anymore expands your capabilities beyond current limits

If you'd like to discuss building a relentless growth mindset, reach out on LinkedIn for a free 30-minute consultation. Please share this podcast with fellow sales professionals and leave a review to help others discover these resources.

Ever felt like you've bitten off more than you can chew? 

Well, brace yourselves as I take you through my taxing adventure of investing in franchises, opening a new store, and enduring the challenging journey of outside sales. From the complexities of real estate to the arduous legal aspects of the franchise process, it's a wild ride that has taught me invaluable lessons. 

Peek through the keyhole as I wrestle with lease negotiations, taps into the role of an architect firm, and grapple with the SBA process. This tumultuous journey culminates in hiring a general manager, kickstarting construction, and of course, coming to terms with the harsh realities of outside sales. Expect a raw, honest, and enlightening exploration as I share my experiences of dealing with the loss of my dear father, the chaos of September, and the dilemma of juggling too many tasks at once.
