Change

Big change is often accompanied by a sense of displacement. This can be disconcerting for sales professionals, especially if the change threatens to interrupt short-term gains. Maybe you’re moving to a new job or territory, or a new style of management. Maybe the team has seen some new hires. Maybe corporate leadership has shifted. There is change you can control and change you can’t control. If you feel yourself starting to become anxious or resistant, figure out which type of change you’re dealing with. There is always something small but significant you can do to retain your sense of purpose and focus.
