When ‘high stress’ is mentioned in the workplace, a brain surgeon or an FBI agent might be professions that come to mind. Have you ever considered a sales account manager being high stress, though? According to the article by Ryan Hadfield, “12 Ways to Handle Sales Pressure,” a recent survey “ranked ‘sales account manager’ as one of the most stressful jobs in the US, with 73 percent of respondents rating the role as ‘highly stressful.'”<\/p>\n

Most of the stress that comes from people in sales are due to job stress and money, which is a result of most sales positions being commission-based. In many ways, stress is then arguably necessary to drive sales, but also sometimes physically and psychologically unhealthy when not mitigated appropriately. The article, “12 Ways to Handle Sales Pressure,” provides 12 simple ways (surprise!) to appropriately mitigate the stress that can come from a sales position:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Incentivize<\/li>\n
  2. Take it one day at a time<\/li>\n
  3. Get the resources you need<\/li>\n
  4. Communicate<\/li>\n
  5. Manage your expectations<\/li>\n
  6. Learn to say no<\/li>\n
  7. Leverage sales analytics<\/li>\n
  8. Take a break<\/li>\n
  9. Keep your calendar full<\/li>\n
  10. Invest in contact data<\/li>\n
  11. Always follow up<\/li>\n
  12. Make preparation a priority<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Stress in sales certainly looks drastically different from the stress a police officer might handle in any given day, but it comes as no surprise that the constant pressure “to convert prospects to customers, keep approval ratings high, and meet a quota” is high stress. Too much stress is a problem, but not enough stress is too, and finding that balance can be difficult. For anybody considering sales, I hope that these 12 tips can be of good use for you in the future!<\/p>\n
