In this personal anecdote, the speaker describes how they began their career as a personal trainer, assuming that expertise in fitness would naturally attract clients. They quickly realized that without sales skills, knowledge alone was insufficient to secure business. To address this gap, they transitioned into a sales role within the same organization to learn how to effectively sell and acquire clients. This shift clarified the importance of sales proficiency, leading to a deeper understanding of client acquisition and a career trajectory that they have not looked back on since.

Chapters

When I first got into like real sales, I took a job as a personal trainer and, um, I was like, well, I have abs, so I could probably teach other people how to have abs. This will be fun. What I didn't realize is that didn't matter how educated or knowledgeable you were at being a trainer, if you didn't know how to sell and get a client, it's irrelevant. Cause yeah, I have people to train, right? And they have to buy from you. So for me, um, I had a hard time making that mental switch. So I decided to go actually out of personal training into sales, a sales role within the same organization in the hopes of getting more education on how to be better at sales. And it just kind of clicked from there. Just from that point, it was like, okay, now that all this is starting to make sense and starting to come together, and I never really looked back.
