Scott Ingram: You’re listening to the Daily Sales Tips Podcast and I’m your host, Scott Ingram. Today\u2019s tip comes in the form of a clip from my most recent episode on the Sales Success Stories podcast with top recruiter Brian McCann out of Chicago. Listen to this.<\/p>\n

You’re working with people on their careers all day long, and while they may not be in sales, I mean, it’s certainly a different industry. I wonder, what advice would you give to somebody that’s early in their career on the sales side? What do you tell them?<\/p>\n

Brian McCann: Yeah, I think my main piece of advice would be to go out and take a lot of swings and do the very best you can, making sure you are getting support in and outside of work. But also, you don’t need to hit a home run. In fact, I keep going back to baseball terminology, but you just don\u2019t need to be amazing. I\u2019ve seen people that are amazing when they first start right out of college and then they kind of just dip down. It doesn\u2019t matter how you do early on; it just matters what you learn, and you want to be the number one learner. And the tough part when you’re a junior and you are kind of coming up is that you can’t really quantify that. Like I’m the number one learner. And that\u2019s tough because you want to have that credit and you’ll get it.<\/p>\n

But the learning and taking things in, being ultra curious, and not focusing on the status or the money even when you’re starting, it\u2019s common. You need to play the long game, not the short credit money status, title game. That\u2019s a lot of words.<\/p>\n
