This feels really good to be able to share with a community of salespeople because I've been doing this for a while now and something I would never openly admit on LinkedIn is this: I'm not very good at sales, I'm just good at building relationships and following up. In some organizations I would be fired after 3-6 months because I play the long game, however with my current employer (one of the best sales managers I've ever had) they have given me plenty of time and my year 3 sales growth is through the fucking roof.
Sometimes I wonder how many others were in my shoes at one point and gave up.
