How to keep working under sales pressure?

Your success is tied to your ability to keep working after you have the urge to quit or give up. Try these 6 strategies for salespeople to avoid quitting prematurely.

We’ve been taught to believe that quitting is synonymous with failure, but some sales activities or business relationships aren’t worth continuing. It’s important to arrive at a decision to quit or continue consciously, rather than making a reflexive decision.
