HTSS21 - Know when its time to leave a sales job - Scott Sylvan Bell

There are times where you are frustrated and hurt about the place you sell for. The question commonly comes up how do I know when its time to leave a sales job? There are a few reasons why you may be irritated at a job but there are also times when it is time to go. 

If you are upset your manager or business owner gave you a course correction and your feelings are hurt this is not a good reason to leave. Sales is meant for the tough. If you cant take some coaching or training it may not be the right industry for you. If you were just roughed up emotionally for sales then this is typically not the time to leave. 

There are some serious reasons why you need to look at leaving a sales job:

• The company is playing games with your commissions 
• There are people at your company harassing you 
• The belief about salespeople and their job is poor 
• The management or the ownership no longer cares about their client
• You don't like the product you sell or you don't believe in it. 

There are times where you should pack up and move on. You have to remember that companies will hold leads over your head. If you are the closer you are the prize and not the other way around. There are not enough good salespeople out there and someone will hire you for your skills. 

One of the reasons you should have the ability to acquire your own leads is because you will never be stuck waiting for an up or waiting to sell someone. You can have your own leads piggy bank. 

If you want to learn how to be a closer in sales you will want to learn lead generation.
