Fire in The BellyChristy Doherty
In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Pete interviews Christy Doherty, aka the Sales Fighter, about his life story and sales success journey. He talks about the power of having an unstoppable mindset, the benefits of goal-setting, and the importance of persistence in sales and more.
His determination to learn never stopped, and will never stop. That’s what Christy wants you to do too, be persistent in achieving your goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Christy’s first job was working in his dad’s business. It was where he honed his people skills as he was dealing with customers all the time. This was also when he realised he wanted to continue his dad’s business.
- He has always dreamed of being a successful entrepreneur—increasing his business’ sales, getting busy with managing operations, and leading his team.
- Hard work always pays off. When he was working with Seagate, he used his free time during the night to learn new stuff and add more to his skillset. And, when a colleague of his offered to train him about sales, he just went for it. It was then he discovered that he has a knack for sales.
- Christy knew nothing about the art of goal setting before. So, although he can felt that there was more he could do, it was difficult for him to move forward. Where? Why? These should be the first things that one needs to figure out. It’s easy to plan how you can get there when there’s clarity and determination within you.
- Persistence is one of the key things a salesperson should have. Closing a deal doesn’t happen in a snap, most of the time. The truth is when you’re still in the first phase, you’ll encounter more rejections. But a sales fighter does not back down. If you know what you sell, and you know it could be beneficial to someone, then persuade them by all means.
- This also applies to your career. If you want to be promoted, then offer more.
- Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill was an enormous influence in his life. He learned about the power of mindset. One can build a successful path if he believes he can manifest it.
