I just hopped off a call where someone asked me if I was 23 years old, I'm currently 26, not that it matters. I didn't say anything out of my normal pitch or say anything dumb to give away my age.
But it got me thinking, has strictly my age ever kept me from getting a deal across the line? I put my camera on during zoom calls, so I give prospects the opportunity to see me and how I look, "young."
But I feel like if you have some age on you, you are automatically more trusted, without question, solely because you look older. Trust is obviously essential to getting a deal across the line.
So does being an older person in sales give you a competitive advantage?
What do y'all think?
