yes it’s at the new gig.
two things.
- relative sales performance - i’m doing well, for sure. I’m their only closer, but I’m the best closer they’ve ever had, so I know i’m already breaking all expectations and records etc. My weakness here is follow up, not necessarily sales skills directly. That’s just a focus and priorities thing - and honestly one way I’m solving that is by the marathon. If I’m really satisfied in other areas of life, I’ll be more willing to sacrifice a couple hours daily to go through the boring motions of follow up emails, organization, etc.
The sales confidence is nice to have, but never permanent, ad i’ll never rest on my laurels. It’s just a nice change of pace to feel at peace in that regard and focus on other things.
- I’m not the bottleneck. The bottleneck of the company is lead generation, which is dependent on marketing, and changes to find the right process are slow to make. So while I do my work, give them feedback on every sales call I take, work with the team on what our ideal client is, eventually that’ll result in hyper-accelerated lead generation efforts, which will open up an opportunity for me to obsess over sales again. But right now double the effort (100%) won’t give me even 33% more result.
