The Power of Strategic Impatience

07/15/20 • 55 min

How many people know exactly what they want to do since the age of nine years old?

For Demetrius Peoples, that was a reality.

Inspired by Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang, Demetrius directed everything he did towards marketing after resonating with the character Marcus Gram.

From entry level sales rep to VP of Sales and operations, Demetrius explains how “strategic impatience” and not becoming comfortable in any position was what helped him propel his career.

In today’s episode, I talk with Demetrius about what it takes to masterfully navigate one’s career not only in medical sales, but across all industries.

His ability to network and take risks early in his career has been what has allowed him to level up at an exponential rate.

Demetrius’s hunger for success is an inspiration to many. By creating advocates, mentors and sponsors he has proven time and time again that tenacity is what makes an effective sales rep.

Whether you are trying to get a pharmaceutical, medical device, or different type of medical sales role, the power of your intention and how you build relationships are critical to your success.

Tune in to be inspired to find and develop a network to really advance your career, bet on yourself, take meaningful risks and ultimately create growth opportunities.
