The toughest thing about Sales is that there is no immediate negative repercussion for not doing your job.
If you work executing projects, you can’t just say, “I’m having a bad day,” and miss a delivery—it will be escalated immediately.
Sales isn’t typically like this—if you don’t hit your daily task goals, you may never hear about it. Therefore, when we coach Sales at TransPerfect, we emphasize that self-motivation and personal accountability are key for success.
