And as crazy that is more than two-thirds of sellers in the b2b space are not hitting their quota.”Collin: “Sellers need to think of themselves as sales athletes. And this is an unpopular opinion. I've gotten some crap for this before through a LinkedIn post. And some people think it's quite ridiculous. But I don't.”Collin: “Athletes don't just show up on game-day and hope for the best. There are many things that they do to prepare to have a proper mindset, they practice on a regular basis. And these are the same things that sellers need to be doing.”Collin: “Being a positive person, and having a positive mindset is more of a lifestyle. And there are some essential things that have worked for me. And in being able to be positive most of the time have a good mindset.”Collin: “There needs to be a culture where practicing failing, making mistakes, learning getting feedback, and asking questions, are all part of the norm to get better at the art of selling.” Learn a lot more about practicing your selling skills by checking out The Practice Lab!Connect With Collin on LinkedIn Want to Start, Grow or Monetize Your Podcast?
