In episode 153 of the Master Dealmaker Secrets Podcast, I am
going to tell you how and why I got into sales. 


I have had a number of people ask me this over the years so
thought I would share it with you. 
 
I didn't actually start with an intention to get into sales. It
wasn't what I wanted to be when I was young. In fact, I was a
competitive surfer in Western Australia when I first got into
sales, a guy from the company that sponsored me invited me to
work for them. 


I accepted, and once I started working there, I would find myself
constantly looking for feedback. I used to go to my boss and ask
him frequently, "How am I doing?", "How am I performing?" 


I was always looking for feedback and felt like If I could get
more input, it would help me to become better.  


And this later became the motivator for wanting to help other
people and give them a way to become better at sales
faster. 


Unfortunately, there are lots of issues around sales and one of
the biggest ones is the big proliferation of salespeople or sales
teachers that teach a dysfunctional process. A process that
creates dysfunctional salespeople that give the industry and
salespeople themselves a really bad reputation.  


These people teach this aggressive-type approach that may seem to
work on one or two occasions but that doesn’t really solve any
problem for the people that came in. 


If you don't help people, if you don't serve people, that
reputation goes out into the world, then it comes back and ends
up biting you in the bum.  


For me, the thing that I really love about sales is that you can
be instrumental in changing and improving somebody's world, in
helping them to make a decision that will benefit them. And that
comes with having the right intention and having the right set of
philosophies around what it is that you're there to
do.  


So, listen to this episode to know the whole story about how I
got into sales and to learn some of the things I’ve worked out
over the years that have allowed me to help people in the process
of becoming proficient at sales. I really hope you enjoy it and
find it useful.
