I grew up hearing successful sales people described like this - βHe could sell ice to eskimos!β or βShe could sell a ketchup popsicle to a man in a white suit!β I couldnβt wait to learn the sales skills so I could do the same. Butβ¦it didnβt take long for me to realize that kind of selling is down right manipulative. My purpose as a salesperson is to identify opportunities that create mutual value. If the the mutual value isnβt there, weβre probably better as friends than partners.I've sold hiking boots, insurance, car cleaning supplies, rain barrels, a college experience, energy drinks, beer, and wine. Iβve banged out 125 calls a day as an SDR. Iβve helped small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations grow their revenue with data-driven marketing. And now, Iβm helping the biggest companies in the world create revenue faster and more efficiently, by enabling teams to learn how to do their job in the flow of work - with any answer at their fingertips.What do I do outside of work? I use all the things I used to sell! Iβm an outdoorsmen, party host, urban farmer, loyal friend, devoted husband, and an always learning citizen of the world.
