What If You Couldn't Get In Your Car For 30 Days?
What if I told you to park your car for 30 days and keep selling?
Could you do it?
I know that question might make some field sales reps uncomfortable. And I get it because I love face-to-face selling too. I believe relationships matter, and there are absolutely times when getting in the car and visiting a customer is the right move.
But over the years, I've learned that your car should be one of your sales tools, not your entire sales strategy.
In this episode, I challenge you to think about what would happen if you had to sell without relying on your windshield time. Would you know exactly which customers to call? Could you confidently have a sales conversation over the phone? Would your CRM tell you who needs follow-up? And could you still create opportunities without physically walking into a store?
I also share a simple one-day challenge you can try this September: park the car, pick up the phone, and intentionally focus on meaningful customer conversations.
This isn't about field sales versus inside sales. It's about giving yourself more ways to reach your customers and knowing when to use the right tool at the right time.
And honestly, that's what I want for sales reps. I want you to have options. Because life happens. Whether it's car trouble, family needs, an unexpected situation, or simply a season when you can't be on the road as much, you shouldn't have to stop selling just because you can't drive to your customers.
I'd love to hear from you:
Have you ever had a season when you couldn't get on the road the way you normally do? What was the biggest challenge you experienced trying to stay connected with your customers?
Share your experience in the comments. I really want to hear what you've experienced.
