Birth of a Salesman
... with apologies to the late Arthur Miller. Should probably read as 'Birth of a (great) salesman'. because otherwise, what's the point? There are thousands of salesman working tirelessly in their chosen field, but how many can be consider great.
What is it that you do, to distinguish yourself in your chosen area of expertise? You have to be willing to do something more. It's easy to be average, it's easy to do the things we have always been doing, and not branching out to discover something more within us. To do the same thing everyday, without questioning, is unoriginal, it's no more than what is expected of us.
Do something different, deliver more than asked of you, is how you will distinguish yourself from the others. You are more than just average, and that's the hardest thing to prove. But if you are willing to try, you have the commitment to not do what's expected, but instead do way more, you will be rewarded in more ways than one.
What are some way that you stand out in your field? Do you have any tips for others? email me at szabolcspall@gmail.com
