One piece of advice that stuck, especially as I transitioned from a "job" into a career in sales, was: "𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦." His philosophy? I didn’t need to be an expert in 𝚊̲𝚕̲𝚕̲ ̲𝚝̲𝚑̲𝚒̲𝚗̲𝚐̲𝚜̲ technology. He always said, “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶!” As I work to move back into more in-person and onsite client meetings and networking events, I’m curious to hear your thoughts: When you’re meeting with a prospective staffing partner, are you looking for someone who knows 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, or are you more likely to buy from someone you’ve built a strong rapport with?

Imagine the situation: You have hired a new salesperson to your team from one of your competitors. He comes with strong credentials, and experience of driving exponential growth in the same category, but in a different territory. 2 months into the new job, the hired person wants to resign, and go back. 👉 What do you think is the problem? 👉 How can the situation be possibly resolved? From my experience of consulting various organizations on their transformational and growth journeys, I have observed the above happening frequently. Reason: Lack of patience and adequate training. New recruits are like plants that have been transplanted. They need to be handled with EXTREME CARE for a while. There is often a rush to bring them into the mainstream sales force without training them with the REQUISITE SKILLSET. It involves a great deal of PATIENCE since it may take time for their roots to get a firm grip in the new soil. They need an environment of CARE & UNDERSTANDING around them, without the intense pressure of high targets for a while, till they are able to get their grasp on the new market, build contacts and establish themselves. Additionally, STRUCTURED ORIENTATIONS can be planned. They give the new employees a much-needed OVERVIEW of the people, policies and culture of the new firm. What has been your experience in this regard? At Saksham Consulting & Training LLP, it shall be our endeavour to design and deliver CUSTOMISED ORIENTATION PROGRAMS, such that new hires feel valued, engaged and motivated to perform to their maximum potential.

Sometimes it is better to slow down in order to speed up, especially when it comes to your career, closing a deal, or frankly most things in life. Don't chase the job title, equity that likely will never be, at a place that won't be around for long. More often than not, it is a facade. If your career progression, accomplishments, and past responsibilities are not in-line with the job or opportunity, there is probably a reason for it. Commission breath stinks and everyone can smell it from a mile away. It makes it harder to close deals not easier. Your pressure or stress is not your client's problem. Play the long game in sales, on LinkedIn, and in life.

The Challenges and Joys of Being a Business Development Executive As a Business Development Executive at Way WeDesign, I’ve come to understand that this role, while challenging, is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. The job isn’t always smooth sailing—there are ups and downs, and moments of frustration—but if you’re passionate about what you do, the journey becomes an enjoyable one. At the heart of this role lies communication. Reaching out to new clients, understanding their needs, and offering solutions that can help grow their businesses—it’s an exhilarating process that requires not just skill, but also patience and persistence. Each call, each email, and every meeting is a chance to connect with new people, learn something new, and build valuable relationships. The challenges are real. Rejection is a part of the job, and sometimes, it feels like you're not making the progress you'd hoped for. But this is where the true satisfaction comes in—because every conversation, every “no” gets you closer to a “yes.” And when you finally close a deal, all the hard work pays off. In the end, what makes the role so enjoyable is the thrill of connecting with new people. The opportunity to introduce them to the services that can help them succeed, and knowing that your efforts play a role in the growth of their business, is what drives me forward every day. If you’re considering a career in business development, remember that while the road can be tough, the reward of making a meaningful connection and contributing to someone’s success makes it all worthwhile.. 😇

What makes a high-performing sales professional stand out? 🌟 In my decade-plus journey in sales recruitment, I've noticed that the cream of the crop share a few standout traits. It's not just about hitting targets; it's the way they approach their craft. Firstly, exceptional communication skills are non-negotiable. The ability to listen, understand client needs, and articulate solutions clearly is paramount. 🗣️ Adaptability is another key quality. Sales environments are dynamic, and the best sales pros pivot with ease, turning challenges into opportunities. 💼 Let's not forget resilience. Rejection is part of the game, but top performers bounce back with even greater determination. They're the ones who see 'no' as a 'not yet'. 💪 But what truly sets them apart is their continuous drive for knowledge. They're always learning, always evolving, and that's what keeps them ahead of the curve. 📚 I'm keen to hear from seasoned sales pros out there.
