30 Days of Sales
A Journey in Learning and Growth
This past month, I immersed myself in the world of sales.
During my 30 days, my perspective on sales changed.
Before, I would often see sales as pushy or transactional, but I’ve learned it’s about something much more meaningful—connecting people with problems to the solutions they need.
Below is a snapshot of what I accomplished in my 30 days of sales, but feel free to check out the full length blog post as well!
Overview of What I Accomplished
Here’s a snapshot of what I explored:
Good vs. Bad Sales Experiences: By analyzing my own experiences, I realized great sales meet (and exceed) expectations, while poor sales fail due to an expectation-reality gap.
Reverse Engineering Buyer’s Journeys: Successful sales depend on clearly demonstrating how a product solves a specific problem. Ambiguity sends buyers elsewhere.
Solving Real-World Problems: At its core, sales is about finding solutions. I thought through 5 real-world problems and brainstormed solutions.
Building Buyer Personas & Lead Lists: I uncovered diverse buyer personas and tailored outreach strategies for each. This work culminated in a 20-person lead list.
Designing a Buyer’s Journey: I designed a 21 day, 8 contact point buyer’s journey.
Overcoming rejections and embracing the challenges of sales taught me resilience and the value of staying customer-focused. Ultimately, I’ve come to admire sales as a noble pursuit of helping others.
