How to win friends and influence people

Fanatical Prospecting

uplifting

@author It’s a great sign that you’re looking into continued self development!

The Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort (the real life wild or Wall Street), and The Psychology of Sales/The Art of Closing the Sale by Brian Tracy are fantastic. How to win friends and influence people and fanatical prospecting are classics, I definitely agree there as well!

I absolutely also recommend watching or reading literally anything by Zig Ziglar, who was like the father of sales and create a daily routine that helps you keep up your spirit/motivation as well as to set your goals. For motivational videos I’d recommend people like Tony Robbins, Victor Antonio, Mark Wayshak… and then just explore from there! Welcome to sales! 🤗

I did well in banking, but incentive plan has suffered tremendously, so I’m looking to jump into tech sales where I could be more compensated for the work.
