Strive to Stand Out and Not Fit In for Growth
What separates the world’s top 1% of sales professionals from everyone else? CommissionCrowd states that even when you know you have the perfect solution, your prospect can’t always see it. Communications are everything, but they do not mean ‘solely talking.’ Instead, the quieter people who listen and observe set themselves apart, and their next step is to ask many questions to gain a comprehensive understanding.
Accordingly, the CommissionCrowd offers the personal stories of 12 contributors on how they dug themselves out of the ‘trenches and ‘obscurity’ to achieve remarkable success. ‘For helpful insights and potential new ideas, read the stories of risk and reward, setbacks and comebacks, and insights that can only come from decades of lived experience.

The Story-Sharing Magic
Many salespeople mistakenly believe that to avoid wasting time, it is essential to immediately draw attention to what they are selling, rather than taking the time to get to know the person or people involved. Once it becomes evident that the person prioritizes making the sale over serving prospective clientele, the sale typically fails. The same principle applies to all endeavors, whether sales-related or not. Whatever the primary goal may be, it is vital to ask questions concerning what matters most to the other person, people, or company with whom you are attempting to influence a decision.
Whenever there is an opportunity to share stories with another audience or a broader one, it is both a strategic and fun way to attract attention to our endeavors. Typically, people feel more relaxed and begin to share stories and humor, contributing to a far more comprehensive conversation and a wider range of possibilities. Accordingly, the process fosters relationships and presents greater opportunities for securing the sale at hand.
Moreover, when others enjoy business conversations through story-sharing, not only do their decisions influence one’s own, but introductions to new possibilities often evolve and define the ‘story-sharing magic’.
Embrace the Negative to Realize the Positive
Upon feeling ‘singled out’ and hearing rude commentary concerning a budding idea, DO NOT DISMISS it. Instead, examine what is being said from all angles to ensure you are not missing a critical element that could turn your hopeful idea into reality.
Occasionally, the rudest remarks can bring a smile as one realizes an oversight that requires attention. And on the other side, one quickly recognizes those to avoid vs. those with whom to collaborate. No one person has all the answers or all the skills necessary to build an empire or a thriving entrepreneurship. By weeding out the less supportive people and seeking proper collaborative efforts, we can exponentially increase our possibilities.
One Life to Live
Giving up an endeavor because ‘nothing ever seems to work out well’ will only bring about despair if it’s something with which we truly wanted to succeed. While it’s highly challenging to deal with setbacks (we have all been there), regretting not having the stamina to move forward can be much worse.
Some people recommend creating a vision board to help visualize their goals. Likewise, simply writing down short-term goals aligned with one’s long-term vision can be a key differentiator in boosting motivation to move forward. Know that no matter what the ‘experts’ say, we each think and behave differently, and the decision plus results reside in our hands and our thinking. It’s vital to accept responsibility for our future outcomes and then set the stage with a comprehensive plan to make it happen.
Remember, no one has control over us unless we allow it; we hold the key to our future, and it is ours to embrace. Taking responsibility for making our vision a reality is the first step to making it happen.
Job vs. Entrepreneurial Mindset
When one is employed, it is vital to follow the firm’s rules and regulations and meet the requirements of one’s job. However, a touch of creativity within the firm’s boundaries can set one apart and lead to a more fulfilling career. On the other hand, entrepreneurship silently requires unique and creative thinking for success and is critical to creating a standout brand. A
