11 Struggles Everyone Who Works In Sales Has Experienced

Rule #1: As long as you have a great presentation, everything else will fall into place.

1. Realizing the clients only want to meet you because you’re bringing them free food.

2. Constantly carrying a bag stuffed with Mi-Fis, adaptors, and various other cords.

3. Not being able to get the technology to work in your presentation...

4. ...and then presenting to a whole room of people on their phones.

5. Speaking jargon better than regular English.

6. Having to stay out with one client until 3 a.m., even though you have to meet another client bright and early.

7. Having to jump through crazy hoops to finally close a deal.

8. When your joke doesn’t land with the client...or anyone.

9. Answering questions about parts of your company you know literally nothing about.

10. Forgetting you have a meeting on a Friday night, and ducking out of a party to find the dial-in info.

11. And when the client moves the meeting at the last minute — AGAIN.

Don’t add “bad sales pitch” to the list. Go beyond dull slides with the best presentation software, Prezi.
