Entrepreneurial sales present unique challenges that are different from frontline sales. When you’re a frontline seller or in professional sales, all you do is sell, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. As an entrepreneurial salesperson, you have so many different hats. Sometimes you’re CEO, or accounting, or marketing, and you have to learn how to sell your product and service in different territories amongst different markets. If you’re an entrepreneur working for yourself, you have to sell in order to make revenue, of course, but you also have to deliver it, prospect it, build your pipeline, pay your bills, and a host of other things in order to be successful. It becomes hard to find the time to do these things well, but it can be done, and it can bring success. Patti Pokorchack explains how to make this happen in this expert sales podcast interview, hosted by John Golden.

Imagine that you live your life in one room. In this room, there is only one door. That one door is an enter-only door so that when people come into your life and room, they are there forever. You can never get them out. Luckily, it’s a metaphor, but if it were true, wouldn’t you be more careful about the people you let into your life? There is some evidence to substantiate this metaphor, though, at least within the mind. When you have a relationship with someone, their fingerprints are all over your brain. There is neuroscience to support this claim. For a moment, think about someone who is no longer in your life. What did they do to you that made you want to get them out of your life? If they’re in you’re head, they’re still in your room, and they will be there for the rest of your life. The room begins in the brain and ends in the brain. It’s all in your mind. So, who are you going to let into your life? And how do you stop this revolving door? Dr. Ivan Misner discusses how to make sure the people in your room are good ones in this expert sales podcast interview, hosted by John Golden.
