This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

Most of mine was luck and timing. I also had a manager who played favorites with me which helped, but that was largely because I showed him I wanted to be successful at first and asked him a ton of questions on how to improve. You get luckier the harder you work.

50% luck 50% skill is how I like to look at it. You need both at the end of the day but I agree with what @paddyย said "You get luckier the harder you work"

I think luck plays a much bigger part in sales than we like to admit, but there's a reason that certain people stay at the top

I would agree territory and timing are factors, id heavily argue it. but I also would argue that talent, determination and a positive attitude will get you pretty far as wellย

Iโ€™m lucky to have revived an opportunity to interview where I am. After that, it was just hard work. I owe a lot to both good fortune and good work ethic.

I'd say timing over luck. But you need to keep doing the work some when it is the right timing for a prospect, you're there.ย

I think a lot of "luck" is actually someone intentionally favoring you behind the scenes, but without telling you.
