This Sales Expert Interview covers:
Klyn’s journey and how she applied it to helping others
- Before writing her book, Klyn interviewed famous entrepreneurs and found 9 patterns. She talks about these patterns and how her struggles were similar to anyone else’s.
Helping people focus
- Klyn sees the problem people have today is not a lack of focus but a lack of prioritization.
- Don’t let a seeming mile long to do list bog you down or be an excuse for inaction. It can be helpful to break tasks down into sections.
- Prioritize the things that actually drive revenue.
The negative perception of sales
- Society and even salespeople themselves can sometimes have a very negative opinion of sales. If a salesperson doesn’t see it as a noble cause, they are probably going to struggle.
- Salespeople don’t invest enough in themselves. Stop pretending you aren’t a salesperson!
Teaching people how to be a shark
- Sometimes it takes tough love to snap people back to reality when facing adversity.
- If emotions aren’t serving you, it’s time to break that pattern.
