In class, we discussed a topic called the Real You versus the Role You.\u00a0 The real you is the person that you truly are, unhindered, not made up any certain way to impress anyone.\u00a0 The role you, on the other hand, is the persona that you put on in a social context, in a sales context in this case.\u00a0 The role you is the entertainer, the performance version of yourself that you slip into in social scenarios.\u00a0 There’s nothing wrong with having a role you, most people do, the point of bringing it up is actually to focus on how the role you can help overcome your personal failures.<\/p>\n
When you fail in a social or sales setting, it can be very easy to blame yourself and just get generally down about what happened.\u00a0 However, when you think about sales in the context of there being those genuine differences between your true self and your performance self, it becomes less personal when you fail.\u00a0 They didn’t reject you, they rejected your product, your performance.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be personal, and this is especially important regarding getting over your failures quickly and efficiently.\u00a0 The less personal you make it, the faster you move on and keep going, which is truly what sales is all about.\u00a0 That’s the subject of buoyancy, how to keep going even when you have obstacles in your path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
