If you search for ‘sales fear’, most of the content says salespeople fear rejection.
Honestly, that’s a load of bs, likely written by someone who’s never worked in sales, or at least not a successful salesperson.
Here’s our hot take 👉

In these kinds of times, it’s easy for sales leaders and teams to feel despondent and downgrade the forecast for the year. Yup, a flattening economy sucks, but unless you’ve got 💯 market share, there’s still room to grow and hit those targets. It’s a back to basics approach.

Think the chatty, outgoing, social folks are the best at sales? Think again!
The latest blog is up and talks about this in more depth. Maybe the person you think you want to hire, isn’t “the one” after all 🤔

This has absolutely been the reason I’ve spent $15k with two providers instead of their competitors - the service was unexpectedly and consistently good. Pre and post sale. It’s not rocket science but it’s as rare 😂 – at Marlborough District, New Zealand
Having the best customer support is such an underrated competitive advantage for startups so aim to be the Zappos of your market.

It's the same for sales professionals ... sharing what you do and the VALUE it gives your customers is impactful, share away!
You can overcome your fear of self promotion by changing perspective.
There are people out there who might benefit from your product.
If you stay silent you’re actually doing them a disservice.

When I worked at JP Morgan, I found it weird how every email to all staff from the CEO Jamie Dimon reminded us of our mission:
"To generate value for our shareholders."
Tech companies have masked this with mission and similar things. But their reality is no different.

Employees are not resources to manage. They’re humans to value.
Bad managers only care about your results. Good managers care about your well-being. Great managers care more about your well-being than your results.
We do our best work when leaders put people above performance.
This is such an issue in the Ecosystem here in Aotearoa - so many ventures in the accelerators/incubators with “ideas” that are unlikely 2b commercially viable, no market need, are poorly done, or they’re a NZ version of 475 intl versions, ya know, cos it’s different here 🥱 – at Christchurch City, New Zealand
