Pit Bull — When in doubt, do something, do anything! Focus on actions that put you in front of people. Pit bulls are pioneers and ready to break in a new territory. This is one breed where the numbers game can be leveraged. Chihuahua — This breed may fool you by their small size. They're bright, and often a technical wizard about the products they offer. They have a tendency to talk too much, and their high intake of caffeine doesn’t help. Their minds are racing with possibilities for the client. Their passion, knowledge, and understanding of the processes is unrivaled. You don’t need to tell this breed, “Why don’t you just Goggle that?” because they did yesterday, and made a correction on the Wikipedia article while they were at it. The other lesson was that my technical career prior to sales had made me a refined Chihuahua. I knew my stuff, so to speak, and that was another strength worth asking people to pay for. Sure, I’d never have the blind command of a pit bull, but as soon as I realized that my high level of knowledge and service were what my clients needed, I started asking them to pay for it. Great for those who are new to sales, those uncomfortable with selling, and those who want to get better fast. The number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales equals income. Yet many fail financially, not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don't know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don't think that it is important to know how to sell.

Moving into 100% commissioned sales in my 30’s was one of those “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger” moments in my life. Truth be told, it wasn’t a moment; it was a journey. I remember trying to learn all I could from the veteran salespeople on my team. But, when I read the book Sales Dogs I began to understand that the answer was not to be found in trying to copy the talents of other salespeople, but to learn how to leverage my own unique mix of talents.

This giving comes naturally, and small offerings early in the process tip the scales in their favor. Their best prospects for new business are often their existing clients. Retrievers need to be coached to upsell and cross-sell their additional services. Rather, what lessons am I still learning? For me the Golden Retriever was a real eye opener. My drive for incredible customer service was getting in the way of selling enough to grow. I had something to learn from the Bassett Hound about not spending more time on a project than was necessary. I realized that my high level of service was a unique strength, and one worth paying for.

Golden Retriever — This breed is everyone’s favorite. They win their clients over by chasing any bone they throw them. To the retriever, customer service is everything, and they often need to be reminded to sell what they are giving. Their sales pitch’s strength is the amazing specific value they offer.
