WHY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE IN SALES TO BE OPEN TO PROBLEM SOLVING 

Traditionally, sales has been viewed as a one-way street, where the seller presents their product or service and the buyer either purchases it or not. However, in today’s market, this approach is no longer sustainable. Customers want more than just a product or service; they want solutions to their problems. Therefore, people in sales must be open to problem-solving and have a deeper understanding of the customer’s needs and how they can solve their problems. If all you have to offer your clients is products and services and more of the same, plus subscriptions, you will lose credibility. 

The path to relevance in the workplace is putting the work many could rather not do that has the potential to catapault you to the top.

FROM YOUR QUIET CUBICLE TO RELEVANCE 

Sadly a lot of people are busy but aren’t getting the attention they think they deserve. Why is this so? Most times, they are busy doing the things decision makers don’t see as relevant. And people can change that when they start asking the right questions and making the right moves. First is identifying what matters and how you can align your work to address that issue.

They will tell anyone that cares to listen (and many who would have preferred not to) about their accomplishments.
