  • How to Manage Mental Health in Sales with Chris Hatfield of Sales Psyche
    Aug 12 2022

    In this episode of the Sales Players Podcast, I talk with Chris Hatfield of Sales Psyche about the Taboo topic of mental health in sales.

    This is a topic I am personally passionate about, and Chris knows his stuff and brings some real value.

    We talk about stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, energy management, the motivation trap, diets, suicide and much more.

    And we also discuss what companies can do to make their salespeople more comfortable opening up about mental health.

    Please help us spread the word on this one and like, comment and share the episode and Chris's message to others.

    Mental health exists within every sales team and can be the difference between why salespeople sink or swim.

    The challenge inside most companies is the lack of training offered to sales leaders in mental health or even coaching, so it makes many uncomfortable to talk about it with their team members.

    Hopefully, we can change this over the coming months and years so that you can get the best out of your sales talent.

    So if you're a new or existing #SDR, someone considering moving into a startup, or maybe you're just looking for a great role model to help you get into sales leadership, this episode is for you.
