What do you do if you lose your job in direct sales?

Start by objectively evaluating the circumstances - were there blindspots you could improve or external factors outside your control? Identify growth areas through candid self-reflection and mentorship. Next, refine your professional branding assets like resumes and social profiles to compellingly market your value proposition. Update your skill certifications if applicable. Strategically reconnect with your network, transparently sharing your situation while inquiring about potential opportunities. Attend industry events and nurture new connections. Demonstrate resilient tenacity and a positive mindset throughout the job search. Review your financial runway, explore stopgap consulting gigs, and establish an accountability system.

Si eres bueno en tu trabajo, no deberias tener problemas. Solo es cuestion de tiempo que vuelves a vender. Asi calcula lo que puedas aguantar sin ingresos y pide un prestamo para cubrir 6 meses. Es el tiempo que tardaras a generar ingresos vendiendo a comision. Seguramente podras pedir un adelanto de comisiones para financiar gastos. Lo unico que tiene que preocuparte es si te han echado porque no eres un profesional y solo te ocupabas vendiendo

I am a firm believer that your resume should be treated as a dynamic document that's living and breathing; it should always be updated in real time. A wise man told me, "If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready." "Pray for the best and prepare for the worst." "Your network is your net worth." Your chances of finding a job are much higher when you receive a referral.

Si eres bueno vendiendo no hará falta adornar mucho el curriculum, mejor adornar de oportunidades la pipeline y trabajar mucho para prospectar en una linea de negocio nueva. Si tienes la suerte que te contratan muy bien pero mejor confiar en uno mismo que en los demas

En el mismo sector seguro que hay alguien que te aprecia y te da una posibilidad como empleado o, mucho mejor, a comision El vendedor que pide un sueldo no es un vendedor es alguien que se ocupa vendiendo. Tambien depende del sector, en algunos solo puedes vender con una empresa a tu espalda que soporta la propuesta de valor (grandes farmaceuticas por ejemplo) Si puedes depender solo de ti mismo mejor

Networking with others in today's society has become even more crucial! With the job market being so unpredictable and filled with talented individuals, building connections is key. Referrals have always been a game-changer, and the six degrees of separation are real. Candidates with a broad network are much more likely to land a job quickly compared to those who solely rely on just applying. It's no surprise; we naturally want to help each other out. Remember, the more connections you have, the better your chances of someone knowing someone who could help you out. And don't forget, you can learn so much from others in your network, especially if you're naturally curious. Have a coffee chat! Could open the door to the next big break.

Por intentar, hay que intentarlo todo: amigos, conocidos, competencia, empresas del mismo sector pero diferente producto, headhunters, linkedin....... que si no hay entradas no sea porque no lo has intentado todo y mas

In the sales world, the more hands you shake the more money you make. You should have a portfolio of contacts, a book of business, etc. from your time in sales. Use that to continue on or to find another position in another company. Relationships are the new currency.

We're living in a time where information is right at our fingertips, so there's really no excuse not to pick up new skills or learn something new. The issue nowadays is that the younger generation often gets so caught up in other people's lives, especially on social media, that they forget to live their own. But no matter where you are in your life journey or career, you have to make a choice to want to succeed; knowledge is power, and it's never been easier to obtain. You've got to be willing to adopt a growth mindset and have a desire to keep learning. I'm not saying you have to become an expert, but being open to learning new things can take you far. And let's face it, there's just too much out there not to be curious about!

Mientras tienes algo mas de tiempo libre inviertelo a aprender cosas nuevas, tecnicas, formacion en ventas de otros sectores diferente del tuyo ...... Quien piensa que ya lo sabe todo es muy probable que haya acabado su carrera en ventas

It's your own fault you got fired. No company ever fires top sales people. You have to be so good you can't be fired. Get better. Work smarter in prospecting and networking. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully a new you. The choice is yours.
