Chapter 10. The Life of a Salesperson

Personal Finance Mental and Physical Health Automobiles Appearance Vacations Mixing Business and Pleasure Hobbies Community Involvement Employment Opportunities Action Plan

The way you live your personal life plays a major role in your success in sales. I believe this to be one of the most overlooked topics by sales management, sales trainers, and other authors writing about sales. Having worked in sales, with plenty of highs and lows both personally and professionally, I can tell you it has every bit to do with your successes. Your personal finances must be under control to handle the ebb and flow of sales income, especially in the earliest phases. Even your mental and physical health play a role in building a successful sales career.
