What’s your best piece of advice to a seller just getting started in their career?
Establish an early eagerness for continuous learning and an ability to adapt quickly to changes in the market. The essence of sales is the power of relationship building, understanding your customer’s needs, and cultivating trust.

Embrace rejection is a part of the journey early on(you’ll need a thick skin), transforming each ‘no’ into a learning opportunity. Build a strong personal brand that can set you apart, whilst being culturally sensitive can deepen connections in a global market.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you travel to?
Canada

Two specific things to follow-up on in your reply…

  1. Love that you included “empathetic” in your description — such a fantastic trait to have in sales.
  2. Where in Canada? (I’m a huge fan of Montreal, and on the lookout for more spots to explore there)

Great to have you in the community, @adriaan.steyn!
