Old Dogs CAN Learn New Tricks!
“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” refers to older people not being able to grasp new ideas or converse with younger generations. Their tired ways of doing things are too ingrained. But I am very proud to say, I have proof that notion is incorrect!
Certainly among my peers, I was the first to join the social media craze to learn how it is to be used. I immediately saw the potential and adapted my corporate relationship selling style to online. Further building relationships online, learning to collaborate and learning to use all the mediums available including video helped greatly to increase my followings. Social media and collaboration are a very powerful combination and turn the business playground into a level playing ground. Anyone determined enough can win.
In this regard, the highlight for this old dog picking up new tricks came yesterday. I normally do not boast but this is, in a sense, the end of a very long journey. OpenView Labs created an algorithm to determine the Top 25 Sales Influencers in 2012 – I was included! I will be forever grateful.
The reason I view this as an amazing achievement is due to the journey I took to get here. My corporate sales career consisted of me manuvering around the men who thought women couldn’t sell or didn’t belong on the sales team. It wasn’t easy, but determination got me through it. I view this listing as a pinnacle of my entire career. Among the international selection, other women such as Lori Richardson and Jill Konrath were included too. It speaks volumes for how our society is finally changing for the better.
I am more determined than ever to help those I may. Please contact me if you are interested. Here are a few possibilities to help you persevere to get you to your destination:
