So I’ve hit the 6 months as a sales rep mark this week and here is what I’ve learned about myself in this busy, stressful, abundant period of growth, confidence and networking.
1) I respond really well to criticism
2) I don’t hate people as much as I thought I did
3) I do not like doing admin (expenses, email follow up etc)
4) If you dangle a carrot in front of me I will do everything within my power to grab it with both hands
5) If I get told off, I shut off from the conversation
6) I get passionate about the things I’m selling really easily
7) And I convince myself they’re worth way more than they probably are
8) I can turn on positivity any time I choose to
9) I’m more confident than most people
10) But I’m also constantly paranoid about my competition
11) I’m super persistent when I want something
12) I can talk myself into and out of procrastinating about anything
13) I can persuade people easily
14) I can also manipulate people if I want to
15) I like money way more than I thought I did
16) Since tasting the nectar of sales, I’ll likely never do any other job
