Use Your Athlete Story to Win in Sales (Turn Your Background into Revenue)

Описание: In this video, we break down why your athlete story is one of your biggest advantages in sales — especially if you’re a former athlete transitioning into business. Most people in the corporate world haven’t lived the journey you have — the discipline, pressure, grit, and elite competition you experienced are rare traits that build instant credibility.

We dig into:

👉 Why your story matters
Your path as an athlete — competing, training, pushing limits, and performing under pressure — is different from the typical corporate resume. That uniqueness makes you interesting, memorable, and relatable.

👉 How executives and clients respond
Many CEOs and business leaders admired sports at some point in their lives — even if they never became athletes themselves. When you share your experience strategically, it builds instant respect and trust.

👉 Using your story naturally in sales conversations
We show exactly how to weave your background into sales meetings without sounding like you’re bragging. You do this by setting a clear meeting agenda, introducing yourself confidently, and linking your athletic experience to how you work — for example, talking about competitiveness, resilience, or preparation habits that mirror sales success.

👉 Examples you can use right now
You’ll hear high-impact ways to bring up your background:
• When talking about discipline or pressure — relate it to game day performance.
• When discussing leadership — reference team captaincy or values you held in sport.
• When prospecting on LinkedIn — spot other athletes and make a personal, high-engagement connection first.

👉 Overcoming discomfort
Early on, sharing your story might feel awkward — but it isn’t bragging. It’s about building trust and showing your edge. That confidence and authenticity can differentiate you from every other salesperson.

By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to use your athlete story to build trust faster, open more doors, and close more deals. Your background isn’t just something you’ve done — it’s something you can leverage.
