The National Revenue Meeting: Will You Boost Your Career or Trash It?

Don't be this man at the National Sales Meeting

When you go to National Revenue Negotiations, don’t forget about your family at home.

Don’t do everything stupid. Don’t put your job in jeopardy for any reason, especially in this economy…it’s a difficult time to be without a job looking for one, and you don’t want to be having that discussion in your next clinical sales job interview.  Just a warning: Don’t drink too much, don’t talk too much, and don’t do everything your mother would be ashamed of.   There are lots of ways to raise your profile at work and impress the higher-ups, but misbehaving at a national sales meeting isn’t one of them.

Of course, you can drink a glass of wine here or a beer there, or whatever, but you shouldn’t be inebriated at the meetings. You should always have your head about you, pay attention to what’s going on around you, and look for the big guys in the company to have conversations with them….it’s a great territory to boost your career.  You’ll learn more about the health care products you sell, your company, and what’s going on in it.   They will notice you one way or another, and it’s up to you to determine how they see you.  Make sure you impress them.
