However, knowing when to pivot from a well thought out plan is critical to winning.
Not all plans will work out but having the ability to adjust and pivot towards a new direction will still earn you the goal, which is all that matters.

You get to a point in a sales career when you are wondering, is this it? 🤔
At some point you want to call the shots, take control of your destiny and you realize it can't be with any other company where you aren't in control.
Quitting that job, moving on from that role where others supplied you with everything and you just sold, to being the Man or the Woman is very scary.
Just know, part of the Surviving Outside Sales community and podcast is built around this topic.

New series that will drop on Wednesdays. Anatomy of a sale.
The deal that sparked my sales career involved the movie Talladega Nights.
I was a young, hungry, aggressive manager at Enterprise and Talladega Nights was coming to Charlotte, NC to film.
About 100-120 rental cars were going to be needed and I wanted to grab as many as I could.
I will walk thru how it happened and how much of that deal I earned very early in career by taking action and delivering on promises.

80% of sales comes from the 5th to the 12th contact with a prospect.
But, only 10% of sales people make more than three contacts.
Follow up and persistence is your best friend.
