Tom has been leading B2B sales teams for Fortune 500 companies since 2000.

Friday Nov 11, 2022
Friday Nov 11, 2022
In this solo episode, I share three things, as a sale rep, you should not be doing as we head into a recession. I’ve been through two major downturns and have learned a few things along the way.
There are three things, as a sales rep, that you should not do as we go into a downturn.
- Do Not Hide
- Pivot
- Be Debbie Downer
There is no guarantee that you will do all of these and still not get laid off. Sometimes, it’s just pure economics and business survival.
That brings me to my next point of what you should be doing. Always be networking.
