Let’s start by admitting the enormity of the challenge - onboarding and getting sellers up to speed is a huge task. On average, new sales hires spend 10 weeks in training and development and only become productive after nine months or longer. And guess what? Even after you find and develop these new sales hires into great professionals, they are hard to keep. The annual sales force turnover rate is 20% according to CSO Insights.

The second view, and the one we’d like you to focus on today, is about growth, understanding, and learning. It’s the process of visualizing all the bad things that could happen to you, so you become less afraid of taking action. This second view of negative thinking helped me train and successfully swim across the English Channel as well as start my own business in a recession.
