Taking the sales walk

Having myself a Monday over here. Less about losing opps more about internal BS. Curious what other salespeople do to work through frustrations other than taking a walk. (already taken a few and so far they aren't working)

Walk, run or a good angry lift usually helps haha.

You have to let out your frustrations one way or another, and walking helps. I always enjoy pounding my desk.

This is also a good one as long as you invest in a sturdy desk

Mind management matters. For me- “this place sucks” is usually followed by a mental jump to “next gig.” That’s when I walk. It helps. When it’s a 2 walk day- I try to get grateful. Take a look at what this entirely insane career has coughed up over time.

We got houses, cars, families and we live in good neighborhoods~ better than most.

If I can’t get re-centered and productive, I shut it down knowing I’m likely to mishandle something due to shit attitude.

Sometimes, closed for mental maintenance is wise.

Love this! I definitely need to blow off steam before I can get to “Point B” of all the appreciation. It’s all important and also, our jobs are pretty cushy when it’s good…

Do you have a gym membership? Might be time to unplug and head to the gym.

Bike ride. Another walk.

Block your calendar for a couple of hours for a meeting you're having and get away from everything.

I try to go to the gym before I start my days so that I start with a clear headspace, but two a days never hurt anybody

Yeah, in a case like this, you may need some more time allocated for head clearing.

Hope it improves for you.

I exercise...a lot...which helps.

I also built a Cold Plunge and do that near-daily.

Lots of sex is good too.

You gotta find what works for you. One thing to avoid is the gossip circle. You know that crew that sits around half the day complaining about how much this place, that person, our product sucks. It’s a guaranteed time waste, sets you back mentally and can become a tough spiral to escape.

Vent hard to a coworker or manager that gives a shit. And if you don't have one of those, screaming into very loud music in the car is very cathartic for me. If those don't work, BATTING CAGES OR DRIVING RANGE - just fucking hit something.
