In sales…
There’s a time to be a prospector.
Time to be an investigator.
Time to be a presenter.
Time to be a student.
Time to be a teacher.
Time to be a networker.
Time to be a consultant.
Time to be a skeptic.
Time to be a realist.
Time to be an optimist.
Time to be an individualist.
Time to conform.
Time to stand out.
Time to be on the phones.
Time to be in front of people.
Time to get administrative work done.
Time to be an initiator.
Time to be a finisher.
Time to look at the big picture.
Time to pay attention to the details.
Time to think and talk things out.
Time to simply get things done.
The very best sales professionals know intuitively to be the right thing at the right time. Do you?

Great post! We wear many hats as professional sellers. Funny we learn few if any of these skills in college…. a bit of a disconnect.
Keep up the great work, Brandon!

Thanks Lori! I’ve been thinking that same thought lately.
I feel like it’s really on parents to teach those skills and mindsets, but it’d be great if our schools focused on some basic people skills and success skills.
Take care!
