Happy Father's Day to all the dads in here!

My dad is not a salesman. He worked blue collar jobs his whole life, and took pride in them. He was up at 5 am every day to get ready for work, and almost never called in sick. He was laid off a couple of times throughout his roles but was willing to take whatever odd job was available to bring money in rather than sit around on unemployment. He had a great work ethic. 

The biggest lesson I've learned from him  thus far is to never sell myself short. He always told me that. Go for a challenge, try what you want to try, and don't underestimate your potential. Moving into sales was a big leap for me. Of course I was nervous and doubted if I could do it. I'm so happy I tried though as I'm now in the best spot I've ever been, professionally.

Happy Fathers Day! 

My dad was a construction worker in a Union. Doesn’t really understand why I chose sales but so be it. 

Was gifted a Yeti cooler from the family. Can’t wait to test it out on the beach.

My dad has done a little bit of everything so I'd say yes he was a salesman. You have to be able to sell yourself to be an entrepreneur

My dad is in construction. But deep down he would make a great salesman.

Damn, I guess all of us got pops’ in construction lol. Much like the others, dad taught me to dig deep and grind for your family and that nobody cares about your excuses. He’s a good dad. 

Wife got me a Grypmat today which is A W E S O M E. My days of losing shit in my engine because I’m balancing 1000 different things on the manifold are OVER!

My dad used to run his own gym so in essence he was a salesperson and taught me a ton of valuable skills early on

Prospect when you don’t need to. Interview often and in different settings. There is no specific skill set ideal for sales people. Find people who want to work with you. The rest takes care of itself. I don’t own a business but I always heard hire slow, fire fast.
