Your Own Sales Career

This job pays on results and measures you monthly. It wears people down in its own way.

Who this book is for

Người bán hàng ở Việt Nam, bán giải pháp cho doanh nghiệp, bán dự án, hoặc bán hàng giá trị lớn cho khách lẻ; từ người bán một mình tới trưởng nhóm vài người. Người đọc là NGƯỜI LÀM NGHỀ: họ mang chỉ tiêu, ăn lương theo kết quả, và thường không quyết được giá.

Sound familiar?

  • Can't calculate their own pay because the commission plan is too tangled.
  • A bad month costs confidence, and the next month gets worse.
  • Years in the job with nothing they can name as having improved since year one.
  • Wants to move but is looking for nothing more specific than a higher salary.

After reading, you can

Help a seller understand their comp, survive bad months, and choose the next step.

Each chapter answers one question

  1. Chapter 1: Do I really understand how I get paid?

    How much was I paid last month, and can I recalculate it myself?

    A salesperson who cannot calculate their own pay cannot keep control of their own career.

  2. Chapter 2: Is a bad month bad luck, or a signal?

    In my last bad month, what did I do differently?

    This job measures you every month, so one bad month easily becomes two if left unhandled.

  3. Chapter 3: Do ten years in sales mean ten years better?

    What specifically am I better at this year than last year?

    Ten years in the job does not automatically mean ten years of skill; it can be one year repeated ten times.

  4. Chapter 4: Is my manager there to check me or help me?

    What do I use my time with my manager for?

    A good manager is a salesperson's biggest resource, and most salespeople use it wrongly.

  5. Chapter 5: Should a great seller become a manager?

    Do I want to sell bigger deals or manage people?

    Sales careers branch early: bigger deals, managing people, or moving to other customer-facing work.
