𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀.

I keep meeting sales professionals who say, “𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀.” Come on — it’s a 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 we’re discusing!

If you can’t talk about your 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀, 𝗞𝗣𝗜𝘀, 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗻-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, how can you prove your capability? You can’t just describe what you 𝗱𝗼 — you need to show the 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁.

A good sales leader will 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 know their numbers — 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲, 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀, 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. If you don’t have visibility on your numbers, or worse, if you claim you don’t have any KPIs or revenue targets, how exactly is your performance being judged? During interviews, these are the questions that reveal whether someone truly understands the 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 — period. 𝗧𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:

• If you don’t know your numbers.
• If you’re not good at research
• If you’re not tracking your daily activity levels…

Then maybe it’s time to consider moving into 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 roles, Because even 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 positions are driven by measurable targets.

Many candidates tell me they “𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀.”

Let’s be real — no one is stealing your data. We’re simply assessing your 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. If you can’t confidently discuss your results, that’s a red flag.  Sales is about 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 — not vague stories.

Know your numbers. Own them. That’s how you stand out in this profession.
