Scott Ingram:\u00a0<\/b>You’re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I’m your host, Scott Ingram. Today I\u2019ve got another Throwback Thursday clip for you. This one is from my interview in episode 37 of the Sales Success Stories podcast with Dayna Leaman who has now been with Wiley for over 25 years! Listen to this:<\/p>\n

Dayna Leaman:<\/b> These three things, Scott, came out of mentoring and training new reps, and I see them as more characteristics of new people that start or just the characteristics of someone in this industry who is successful. So the first one for me, and I think this is so true in our industry right now and for many different companies, is being comfortable with the uncomfortable. And that could be with a sales situation, with talking with someone, and with your entire industry in general. We can talk more about that later as well. Then being intellectually curious. That is something that is either you have, naturally, I’ve always been a very curious person and like to learn. There are times in many of my conversations that I’m not overly interested in what they’re telling me, but I can feign that. I’m careful to use the word fake now in our world, but this could be a little at times if you’re having a bad day. You have to fake it to make it with some of that, but for the most part, that you’re an intellectually curious individual. Then lastly, and this can sometimes be faked as well, but passion.<\/p>\n

Passion and energy go hand in hand. For me, I have a passion for learning. I was a former teacher, so this makes a huge difference. But having passion for your job and how you do it, and this can mean many different things, but at some days, you do have to fake your passion for your customer.<\/p>\n
