The Sales Lab🔬: The One Skill That’s Guaranteed to Increase Your Sales
Sellers have traveled to the ends of the earth searching for that one thing that can help them smash quota and conquer the Salesverse.
Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic.
Still, sellers are always on the lookout for ways they can become better at their jobs. Others are stuck in a vacuum wondering: “Why am I missing quota?”, “Why am I not in the position I want to be?”, and “Why is selling so darn hard?”.
In reality, beating 99% of the competition comes down to one simple thing.
And today, we’re breaking it down.
Outlearn the Competition
The secret to becoming a top seller is your ability to outlearn the average person.
Think about it: Many people are suffering, struggling, or stuck, due to not having the right knowledge to achieve a certain goal.
If you’re doing okay at sales without constantly pushing yourself to learn, imagine what your career would be like if you set out to learn something new an hour a day.
Even if you’re new to sales, you don’t need 20 years of experience to kill it on the job. Even better, you can get your hands on 20 years of information very quickly by way of eBooks, audiobooks, etc. They don’t call this the Information Age for no reason.
Don’t Fall into This Trap
“If all it takes to be the best is to ‘learn’, then why isn’t everyone doing it?”
Easy: Most people are good enough to get by without putting in that extra work.
Some people are content with being average or slightly above. After all, you don’t need to outlearn the average person to achieve that.
The real question is where do you see yourself at the end of your career?
Grant Mitt is a top salesman and entrepreneur who built a million-dollar company in his early 20s, specifically by striving to outlearn his competition.
