TAKE THE WHEEL: Achieving Control Of Your Sales Career with Mike O’Kelly

TAKE THE WHEEL, SHIFT THE GEARS, AND HIT THE THROTTLE

A Career Sales Pro, Sales Tech Co-Founder, and Sales Podcast Host, Mike O’Kelly joins Josh in the pod today. Salespeople are facing the problem of getting less and less training than ever before while having to deal with the demanding quotas that they have to hit. Mike talks about taking control of your career by seeking out mentorship and training outside of your organization. If you can’t get the training from work, get one on your own. Sales is about domination, make sure you’re the one who dominates. Tune in and learn more in this latest episode of Love Selling Hate Sales.

HIGHLIGHTS:

MIKE: LOOK FOR GREAT TRAINING YOU DESERVE

“If anybody's listening right now, and if you're in sales, go to a company that has great training. Go to the copier sales, the payroll sales, the enterprises of the world because they will set you up for life.”

MIKE: THE SALES ADVOCACY METHOD

“You have to dominate in sales or you're gonna get left behind, and that really is the sales advocacy method. The sales advocacy method is taking people and building them into advocates as quickly as possible. The only way to do that in sales and the only way to dominate is to have at least one of two things - that is total belief in the product or service, and total belief in you, the salesperson.”

MIKE: TAKE CONTROL, TAKE IT ALL

“Take control of your sales career. I didn't in my early career, I was very passive. I thought that the companies were gonna provide everything that was gonna be needed, and that's not the case. Reach out for training, for mentorship. Try to learn outside information with reckless abandon.”
