So recently I was in a meeting with some of the people of HR, they had asked me to do so because I had been a top performer for some months even though we went through major strategy and structural changes for our company. They wanted to know what was I doing, what made me go into sales and all that good stuff.
To answer here what I said, for full disclosure, I told them that I simply try to apply what my mangers as much as I can to my abilities, see what works, see what doesn't and add my own sauce to it. Also, sale had petrified me for so long because of all the clichés one can think of, so I caved in to a referral from a friend, who had been telling to join his company in the sales dpt, so here we are hahaha.
In short, I just show up with grit and get the job done, also being organized helps a bunch. That's more or less how the conversation went.
However, I don't feel I'm actually the best at this nor am I like the one that turns in the most opportunities to AE's. And yet I'm always in the top tier and always feel like I don't deserve being up there. Does any else have this going on or had it happen to them?
