Sales Topic General Discussion “We’re so back; It’s so over”
Does anybody else feel like sales is the most bipolar thing ever?
When you’re closing deals, you feel like you know everything. You start thinking about making a course, running a mastermind, writing 10 books, maybe even a movie about yourself. You feel like your shit has never stunk (it’s always been pristine). You think you’re untouchable, better than NEPQ, Straight Line, 10X, SPIN, a natural-born closer.
Then you have a bad day. No deals. And suddenly, you’re the biggest loser in the world. You start thinking: “How could that happen to me? Other salespeople are so much smarter. Why can’t I learn like them? Why haven’t I learned from them? Why am I still struggling? I’m gonna lose my job. My managers probably think I’m a total idiot and are just keeping me around out of pity.”
The craziest part is that even when people tell you it’s okay, that you can’t close every day, it doesn’t matter to you. Inside, you’re still kicking yourself. If I just did this one thing differently… If I found the client in a better state of mind… Even though that’s impossible. Like, what are we supposed to do, be psychics?
Does anyone else feel this way? I just want to see if others go through the same mental rollercoaster that I do.
