As much as we want to believe that we're all self-made, successful people, most of us find it painfully challenging to reach the heights of our respective fields without help. Whether it's a teacher showing us how to play the piano or an experienced programmer showing us the ropes, there's something extremely valuable about having someone to turn to in times of trouble or confusion. And unlike popular opinion, this isn't uncool or unworthy! Mentorship has more benefits than you can imagine.
In today's episode of the Elite Level Podcast, Alex interviews Freddie Chetwood, Account Executive at Creative X, a company that helps brands improve their creative efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness across all their creative contents. The duo chats about their journey into sales, sharing their experience leveling up and succeeding in the industry. They talk especially about mentorship and coaching, growth and transformation, and balance and execution.
Alex shares that curiosity and a zest to learn are key attributes to success in sales. Elite level people do not wait for an opportunity to come to them but instead discover and fit themselves into places they're comfortable in. If you're a freshly joined SDR, know that it's okay to fail or make mistakes. Every failure would teach you something new.
Further in the discussion, Freddie shares that Curiosity, Hunger, and Self-Awareness are three invaluable skills that can hardly be taught. The only way to progress in your career is to activate them in your system, move ahead with knowledge, and perfect them.
Atop everything lies effective planning – your career rests on it. But planning alone doesn’t do what is necessary. It goes hand-in-hand with execution. Implement your action plans to know if the information you consumed is translating well. The catch here is that the planning mainly works out only in the early stages of your career, where you have the time and opportunity to create and dive into it headfirst.
Growth begins with you. Whether you're an experienced, successful salesperson, or a freshly joined appointee in a company, make sure to constantly upskill yourself to succeed in life.
