What do you do if your sales performance hits a plateau in your mid-career?

If sales performance hits a plateau in mid-career, focus on seeking feedback from mentors or peers, honing existing skills, learning new sales techniques, setting challenging yet achievable goals, and exploring opportunities for professional development to reignite growth and overcome the plateau.

Ups and downs are a part of this game but if your numbers have been sulking for long, you might consider assessing your tactics and all factors that might be causing this decline in your career Consider assessing the market and cross referencing your performances with your connections in the industry and seeking mentorship from your seniors and the heavy hitters in the industry to try and come up with a solution because those numbers can't be sulking for long💀

Setting SMART goals is important for your own growth and improvement even if that means a reasonable number to start is below your target!! Not hitting your target for a month won't have a devastating affect on your career but having a realistic target would certainly boost you to achieve that number and aim for higher numbers. Remember, you are not in a race, you just have to be better than your own self a while ago. Try to better yourself one day at a time, achieve slow but sure growth for yourself.

If one strategy does not bring you sales, it's foolish to stick with it just for the sake of following procedure or the norm. Norms and standard industry practices won't hit your quotas and get you them big bucks in commission. Try different strategies and test which one brings you the best results.

As I have always preached before, having a positive mindset is of the utmost importance. You achieve what you manifest so if you are manifesting negativity, that's where your sales numbers would most probably go. Be positive even in the face of rejection, take rejection as an opportunity to learn and always try to improve yourself.

It may sound useless but rewarding yourself after any achievement, albeit little motivates you and pushes you to achieve more. Take a little trip over the weekend or party with your friends. I tend to hang out with my previous colleagues to learn about their work and hear their stories, there's always opportunities to learn something from their experiences.
