+1. Same for me. I still try to have empathy and understanding but I'd like to get into it more

I probably would. Hindsight being 20/20, if I knew my career path I probably would've skipped the college debt/time and gone straight into selling by finding someone who will actually coach/train.

Some of the best sellers I know went that path and had a 4-year head start on the rest of us.

@RBOย  How do I get a sales coach who is relevant to my level?

Too advance and I'll understand nothing, too watered down (Which isn't possible I think) and I'll have nothing to learn.



Oh and how much would it cost?? (Estimations would do too :D )

There are some good influencers on LinkedIn, I'm sure there's a thread somewhere in the war room on that. A lot of them have started putting their own content on Patreon for $10/month. A lot of these get you some level of direct access to the person putting out content.

Yup, would have went straight into sales without wasting time on dead end jobs and wasting money on useless college education.

Sales is an important experience, even if it's not your long-term career.

Sales is an important experience, even if it's not your long-term career. I still would say go into sales and experience it for a few years, it'll help for any career move you want to do later.ย

I 100% would, but I think I would have taken more psych and EQ classes in college.ย 

I don't think I would enjoy any other job, I was born without a soul.ย

That's like a good sales machine. !!


How can I learn to put my soul aside for a few bucks?

Oh, you don't have to learn. It happens on its own the day you have your first QBR and get grilled while Travis gets all the praise.ย

But remember rejection and failure are temporary. They make you better and stronger.
