Hi, I'm Jeb Blunt, author of People by You, and this is the Selling and a Crisis Daily Sales Briefing.

Each day until this crisis is over, I'll be focusing on the topics that we're all worried about in this unprecedented time.

How do I engage prospects the right way?

How do I advance and close the opportunities in my pipeline?

How do I find new markets? How do I protect my accounts? How do I keep my job? How do I maintain a positive mindset?

And what do I need to do right now to come out on the other side of this crisis better than I am today?

We're back with the Selling in a Crisis Daily Self- Briefing.

I'm Jeff Blunt, CEO of Sales Gravy, the author of Inc, Objection, Sells, EQ, and Fanatical

Prospecting.

Our topic today is the new superheroes of the economy.

That's who you are as a sales professional. So let's just take a look

at the facts here. The fact is, is that most people don't like salespeople and probably you don't

even like salespeople. That's the truth. It's also a fact that there's a lot of people in your

company that throw rocks at you, that get in the way, that throw up roadblocks, that make your

life pretty hard. And we always know that the internal cell is harder than the external cell.

But right now, no matter what people have done, no matter what the roadblocks are, no matter

what's happening, you have an opportunity to be the new superheroes of the current economy.

You have the opportunity to be patriots for your company and for your country. Because right now,

salespeople are the ones that are going to get us back on track. You're the ones that are going to get

the commerce moving. You're the ones that are going to sell things. You are the ones that are

going to save your company and save your jobs. So let's start there. Your number one job right now

as a sales professional is to save your company.
