Sunday Reflection: The Sales Lesson That Transformed My Career
Sundays are for reflection, so here’s a lesson that completely changed the way I approach sales. Early in my career, I believed that success in sales came from being the most knowledgeable, prepared, and polished person in the room. I thought if I had all the right facts, stats, and rebuttals, I would automatically win over clients. But I kept hitting a wall with a key decision-maker—a physician who rarely gave sales reps the time of day. No matter how well I presented my data, he just wasn’t interested. Then, one day, I made a shift. Instead of leading with information, I led with curiosity. I asked about his challenges, what mattered to him personally, and how he defined success. Slowly, his guarded demeanor changed. Over time, we built trust—not because I knew more, but because I cared more. 👉 That experience taught me my #1 sales lesson: People don’t buy from the smartest person in the room—they buy from the one they trust the most. Sales isn’t about closing deals—it’s about earning the right to close.And that starts with real relationships. As you head into a new week, remember this: Lead with connection, and the results will follow. What’s a lesson that transformed your sales approach?
