The Superpower of Sales Hunters

There are lions and tigers out there- especially when it comes to inside sales hunting talent. I’ve listened to a few calls lately and just when I was starting to think that hunting was a lost art, I’m convinced otherwise. Sales skills can be taught but spirits must come from within. Once a hunter, always a hunter.

Think of a the characteristics of a  lion when describing a good sales hunter, they have similar qualities:

 1. Moves at lightening speed- they think quick and act strategically, they are confident, bold, impatient and definitely not shy.

2. Small and swift- a good hunter never takes up too much room, they fit into tiny calendars and never ask for lots of time.

3. Raw curiosity- they know what they want, know how to find it and continue to ask why.

4. Astute listener- when they tune in, it’s not just at a surface level but they know how to dive into deeper levels of listening to the unspoken 

5. Incognito- They know how to maneuver and remain under the radar; camouflaged when stalking the prey

6. Healthy tenacity- their survival depends on their ability to be tenacious, so they don’t give up. They are the first to consume the prey at the site it is taken.

7. Resourceful - they never go hungry, they are resourceful and always have insurance to take care of their families.

8. Defend against intruders- they are quick to defend but slow to share- remember their gain is your loss.
