Success in outside sales requires more than just closing techniques – it demands a strategic approach that includes finding the right mentors and developing comprehensive skills beyond the traditional sales pitch.

• Summer is not the time to stop selling – use this time to make hay while working on your craft and skills
• Most sales advice focuses only on tactics and mindset but neglects the foundational elements
• Closing is important but there are many crucial steps that happen before you get to that point
• You need three types of guidance to excel: a teacher, a trainer, and a coach/mentor
• A teacher provides knowledge about the technical aspects of selling beyond just features and benefits
• Small details matter – like parking far from the business entrance to leave space for paying customers
• A trainer helps with skill development through repetition and implementation of what you've learned
• A coach/mentor guides you after implementation, helping you improve based on real experience
• Working with experienced professionals accelerates your success by helping you avoid common mistakes
• The sales world is increasingly competitive, making proper guidance more important than ever
• Speed and quick decision-making are essential in sales success
