Sales Rep 101 – Chapter 26

What Makes Success

This is a tricky subject because it is different for everyone. But there are different levels for success. For yourself you might consider success to financial, personal well being, or just having a stress free life. Being in sales and leading a stress free life is a fantastic accomplishment. But if you find a job where you can consistently stay ahead and keep your bills paid that can be a win. For some just having a good life no matter where they are financially is good enough. This is harder to do on your own. When you are in sales and single there is no back up when you fall on hard times from time to time. When you are married and have a dual income it is easier enjoy a good life and be content. However, I would say the majority of people in sales measure success by money. And that is because most people choose a sales career to make a nice income. Like I said in the beginning, being successful in sales is different for everyone. Think about what makes you happy and strive for that no matter what. Whether it be money or being stress free make goals for yourself and make it happen. And above all enjoy your life no matter what. Because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
