In this episode of Sales in DACH, Helena Klaus speaks with Carolina Bräuninger about a topic that is still rarely discussed in sales: mental health.Caro explains why you yourself are the most important tool in sales. If your mental and physical health suffer, your performance inevitably follows. Yet many people in sales continue to ignore the early warning signs until the pressure becomes overwhelming.Together, Helena and Caro discuss why mental health conversations can still feel uncomfortable in the workplace, how generational perspectives influence the topic, and why it is often harder to recognize mental struggles compared to physical injuries.Caro also shares her personal experiences from working in high-pressure sales environments and explains why burnout often develops slowly and quietly. Unrealistic targets, constant performance pressure, and the emotional highs and lows of closing or losing deals can create a cycle that many sales professionals struggle to escape.In this conversation, you’ll learn how to recognize early warning signs, why separating your personal identity from your job is essential, and how both individual contributors and leaders can create healthier, more sustainable sales careers.More about Caro:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinabraeuninger/Her Masterclass: https://app.salesindach.com/offers/LQM5BKps/checkoutConnect with me (Helena Klaus):https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenaklausFollow Sales in DACH on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/salesindachSales Hacks for DACH: https://app.salesindach.com/newsletters/sales-hacks-for-dachSubscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss fresh B2B sales insights.#SalesInDACH #MentalHealth #SalesPerformance #DACHSales #HelenaKlaus #CarolinaBräuninger #SalesTips #BurnoutPrevention #SalesPodcast
