Day In The Life Of A Software Sales Rep 

glad you think so man!

go get it

yes it is - let's run it in July

The thing is I don’t hit it very hard at then gym / focus more on cold calls then biceps curls

@@TrentDressel haha cold calls are important, but with some physical fitness, comes more mental fitness as well! It’s tough to add to an already busy day but will help you level up and build up that grit in the long run! Thanks for the content!

@@BennettParsons1 how's it going so far man

@@billhoward5580 After some great interviews, I am currently being ghosted, will try to remember to let you know when I hear back!

@@BennettParsons1 in any real deal sales gig they should chase you down not the other way around try a sales recruiter instead of going directly to them when they have to pay for talent they appreciate it more

He needed to get in the mix

hhahhaha facts

that's hype man - I'm from Ohio and my goal was to always move. I enjoy Dallas and think Austin seems like the next major boom town. I hope to get out there in next couple of years

That road is the Dallas toll way - connection between Plano and downtown. I spent my day making callas and taking meetings and prepping

@@TrentDressel gotcha! But a majority of the time was making cold calls or it was more 50/50(half time making cold calls and half time doing other calls, meetings, and prepping)??

@@HGarach I don't think looking at it like that make sense - it's all about the outcome. Regardless of time I am committed to making 20-30 calls per day as AE

@@TrentDressel I see...Things are different for an AE. As an SDR, you spent majority of the time making cold calls in order for you to get the outcome and results that you wanted??

Hahah thought about brining the camera in but didn’t - next time for sure

That will get your on the absolute mix!

@ Christopher Conseille. Sometimes getting the blood pumping can cause you to sound over hyped when Cold Calling. While that makes you feel like wanting to get on with the job, that should never be the real issue, It takes at least 5 years for Cold Calling to be a task that one can tackle with total concentration. As I have had many years experience as a National Sales Manager for some of the World's largest Computer and TelecommnicationCompanies, I found that I radically improved the Cold Call ( And Follow-up Calls ) of entire State Sales Offices, by asking Company Directors for the Budget to build Quite Zones. When this was difficult to achieve I would restructure the Office desk layouts, into an open planning layout, using the Hot Desk principle, then I would allocate two seperate offices to be used on demand for "Quite Zone" telephone calls. No Manager liked what I did, but every member of my Sales Teams did, because that improved both their Closing Rate and their Commission earnings by at least 20%, You won't find that method in any Sales training Text Book, or Training Video, because in the Real World Salesmen don't have Grant Cardones frequently stated life long ambition to be an Author or a Sales Trainer, Real Salesmen Work Hard, Play Hard and take jobs where there lifestyle is supported by Company provided American Express Cards and Annual Sales Conferences in Fiji, Bermuda and Singapore. Not in New York or Boston. When IBM was famous for running such week long overseas Sales Prizes everyone in the Sales Office worked as a team to ensure that everyone made the very hard to achieve 100% Quota. But that is why IBM Sales people have a bond like the Marines are famed for. While I have never worked for IBM many of my Managers were the cream of IBM's Talent. Why I get respect in that circle from the IBM CEOs in North America, Japan and Australasia, is since I started selling against IBM in 1966, accross every product division they have ever operated, I have never lost either a Corporate Sale or Tender. But I really do know how to use Corporate Expense Account, because I really am a good Accountant. Phil.

college major or what do you mean by courses?

on the way

Best of luck Alma - you'll do great

@@TrentDressel many thanks :-)

I experienced it for 6 months - exactly as you describe

Thanks your Q!

Australian is a beautiful country - would love to travel out there sometime

Word, Phil. I’m the guy in the 440whp 2002 WRX vibrating the road with a 12 inch sub after work, causing absolute madness between Naples and Fort Myers, FL. Drove around at least three hours after work yesterday for fun. Really have to hunt for twisties down here. Highly agree, fellow gearhead. What do you drive?

@@colematthews7535 I bet Phil cruises in something FAST

@@colematthews7535 That is an interesting question because I am currently evaluating what I will buy next as a Daily Driver because I was in the process of consolidating my household into a rural property in North East Victoria, while moving into a small Town House that is actually sited on the road that the Australian Grand Prix is run on. Because I need a more versatile vehicle I will probably settle on a Range Rover, which have a poor reliability record. The joke in Australia is "If you want to drive to the Outback, buy a Range Rover. If you want to return buy a (Toyota) Land Cruiser. In the USA they are sold in an upmarket Lexus form, but since 1960 Toyota have developed their 4WD's in Australia, where they are very popular in the Mining Industry. My brother has had four Range Rovers getting his first one around mid-1980's as a Company Car. To encourage him to change jobs he was offered a new Porsche Carrera, as his Company Car. He said that he would take the job if they would spend the same amount of money on a Range Rover fitted out in the same manner as the companies Rally Cars. The upgrade increased the power by 99% while still being drivable in daily traffic. I had a similar offer in the mid1970's when the newly released 3.5 litre Range Rover was the feature in a TV Series starring Tony Curtis and "The Saint". Well I was taken out to lunch in the Range Rover being dangled under my nose with the offer to take "Take it for a drive around the Lake" well not only did it exceed 100mph but none of the road traffic could beat me through the twisty corners. But that was yesterday and the modern SUV's are amazing "Daily Shoppers" but boring. To keep my driving interesting I have a couple of "Collector" Cars that I have had since new. One is a four door 351 Ford Falcon GT which when new was the World fastest four door sedan, which would top more than 245 kph on the last straight bit of road on the approach to the offic. The other car is a 1980 Lancia Beta 2 litre coupe with only 35,000 kms on the clock, The Subaru WRX was a follow on from the Lancia intergrale, the world's most successful rally car, which looks like a Beta coupe, but is built on a 4WD version of the Delta Sedan. Lancia's have always been popular in Australia, up until the time the Italian Government bought control. But the type of car that you use as a Daily Driver seems to have lost status in Australia, but a lot of people in Sales buy cars that can be used at the "Track Day" events that are well supported by local manufacturers. But my reflexs are a bit beyond Track Days. But I think that the car that I have liked most in the last 60 years is the basic Porsche coupe. It was a very fast point to point car, that you could drive over any road condition, while being totally reliable and holding an impressive style. And in their early days they were driven by the same sort of driver who would feel totally at home in a WRX, Phil

never

focused

That’s what I’m going fort hahah

@@TrentDressel lol please don’t make those faces like ever again in life 🤪
