Clip from Episode 16 featuring Colin Specter of Namely:
I’m a highly competitive individual. My entire life I’ve been in sports. What I love about sales is it’s a team sport, but it’s also an individual sport. In my sports career I was on the track teams which is very similar. I want to be the best, and what motivates me everyday to continue to consume to continue to work hard for my prospective clients is to be the best in my industry. I want to be the one everyone knows they can turn to for services, for advice, for whatever it might be. Because they know I will be the expert for them. That motivates me everyday to work hard. To deliver my all to whatever I’m representing. In this case I’m representing Namely and I’ve completely committed to this company and to the value that I bring to prospective clients. It motivates me to stay on top and work hard because, as I mentioned before, I’m working like everyone’s coming to take it away from me. I’ve got guys slacking me, Slack messaging me, all the time: I’m coming for you Colin, and it just fuels me and I love it. I love the competition. I love being on top, and if you get knocked off the top it just fuels that fire more and you can come back for ’em. At the end of every quarter there’s always a few of us that just grind it. Put in the extra mile. Midnight before the quarter ends. Who’s going to get that last deal in and ring the bell?
