Strengths Weaknesses
Hard Worker- In all situations Im too
prideful to be outworked. So I will work
harder than everyone else in my field.
Outgoing- I am an extreme people
person, I am not afraid to talk to anyone in
any situation
Positive- Rarely do I ever get negative in
any situation. I always look at the positive
side of things, which in the end makes me
work harder.
Competitive- Without competition there
is no drive, there is no improvement. I am
extremely competitive and it has taken me
to new heights
Leadership- I am running teams of
salespeople to reach their highest
potential, taking time to train them and
help them reach their goals
Curious-Minded- I like to know
everything, I like to learn certain things I
didnt know previously.
Opportunities
Big cities need Bug control- The
company I work for are always looking for
the next reliable owner to open up a new
city.
Professional Development- I am able to
get funded for certifications and other
growth opportunities, like CAPM.
Influence- With my sales experience I can
Influence others to pursue a job in door to
door sales.
Demand- More students are finding out
that summer sales can be lucrative.
Bringing more guys to our team.
Networking- In sales, 19 year old college
students will always be in abundance here
at Dixie.
Lazy- Sometimes when I dont have
something on my schedule I can get lazy.
Sensitive- Sometimes things affect me
personally, I have to learn to let them go.
Perfectionistic- I tend to get mad at
myself when I dont complete a project or
goal in the time that I set for myself.
Stubborn- I need things done my way,
and my way only. I am always right. It is a
bad habit that I need to learn to stop.
Not broad minded enough- When I have
something going right in my life I tend to
close up and cut off all other opportunities
coming. I dont seek out new adventures or
possible business opportunities.
Critical- When I expect greatness of
myself and others I can be known to be
very critical and not sensitive enough
Threats
St. George- Due to the size of the
University there really arent many options
of finding suitable salesmen.
Laziness- I have been known to be lazy
when not pressured, I simply cannot afford
to be lazy to promote.
Education- I need a bachelors degree to
promote to an owner in this industry. I
currently have been struggling with school.
Competition- When most 18-28 year olds
are doing sales it is a hard industry to find
someone who is not already with a
company.
Stability- Where so much is demanded
mentally and physically in Sales
sometimes people have break downs or
just become tired of the structure.
Sales Manager- The position I am in now
is paramount to lead teams, other
companies have been coming to me
offering a pay raise to lead their teams. As
long as I Perform, other opportunities will
be available.
Watered-down Industry- With so many
other companies recruiting the best
salesmen go off the market quick, which
leaves the not so good salesmen.
