Your Bad (Internal) Reputation

Think you are mistreated by the Production team? Maybe you are. Want to know why? Find out in this week's Short Attention Span Sales Tip.

Good morning!

You may be killing your own sales — and not because of your pricing, prospecting, or pitch. The real problem? Your internal reputation.

While salespeople work hard to earn client trust and deliver results, it’s easy to overlook how crucial it is to maintain a strong relationship with your in-house team. If your attitude rubs people the wrong way, if you’re known for poor communication or sloppy order entry, don’t be surprised when production teams deprioritize your jobs, overlook your questions, or fail to support your success.

This isn’t about being liked — it’s about being trusted and respected by the very people who help you deliver on your promises.

Be thorough and accurate with your paperwork.
Say thank you — often.
Ask for input.
Show gratitude.
Drop the ego

You want better service from your team? Give them a better version of you. A “thank you” note, a genuine compliment, or simply doing your job well can shift your internal reputation — and that shift can lead directly to better results, faster turnarounds, and more closed deals. Want to sell more? Start by being someone your coworkers want to help.

I am always looking for something unique. I need the new ideas the Sales Vault provides, such as the best prospecting letter ever!

During one of our recent Wednesday calls I expressed my frustration with prospects who won't take my call or respond to my normal sales letters. You suggested I try the "Best Prospecting Letter Ever" download from the Sales Vault. I did and it worked!

It's good to be back. I wanted the support of like-minded people who are going through what I'm going through.

The Sales Vault is a place I go to hear how others are solving the same problems I am facing. We've developed a solid core I look forward to seeing week after week.
