The Two Sales Guys

What’s commonly talked about are the tactics and methodologies for sales professionals - what is less commonly talked about is the stress and anxiety that comes with being a seller. Each day, sales reps are asked to take rejection after rejection, operate in a world of uncertainty and high-pressure, and either fail to hit their number, or get a higher quota the next year. On Two Sales Guys, we’ll talk about how to cope with these pressures and what a winning sales mindset really looks like. We’ll explore how stress can drive bad selling behaviors and discuss ways to manage your wellness first. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thetwosalesguys/support
