I Am An Underperforming Salesperson

That horrible feeling again!

As an all or nothing type of guy, I remember vividly celebrating my victories and barely surviving my many failures. I had little status-quo in my career that allowed me to coast and relax. And while a worked diligently in securing as many victories as possible, I can openly confess that for a whIle, I was not a person who knew how to lose gracefully. Quite the contrary.

One year was particularly challenging for me. It was my second year in the sales industry, and I had come out of a solid first year that had landed me a considerable bonus and a place on the leadership team. I had just been on cloud nine when that horrible feeling came to haunt me. I remember waking up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, wondering how I was going to feed my family and whether or not I should find another place of employment or another career altogether.

How had I ended up there? One minute basking in glory and the next laying in the gutter of poverty, what happened?

Well, I will tell you the whole story during our first meeting I assure you (Click here), but let’s just say for now that my recovery involved the purchase of a large mirror to put me back on track.

The good news!

I am by no means suggesting that I understand what you are going through since we all respond to situations differently, but I can assure you that I have personally failed miserably many times and managed many people who were underperforming. This is how I can say with the utmost certitude that “Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” Anyone who wishes to perform at a higher level can do so, provided that they have the enthusiasm, passion, and ability to listen, understand, and apply the knowledge received.

But let’s be honest, most companies and managers don’t have the energy, motivation, time, knowledge or desire to help underperforming reps. Most will opt for a quick dismissal, and a brand new hire.
