But to continue, this showed up in Monte’s profile under
strength called Activator. He liked to move fast, and in fact was a sprinter in high school. He liked to set things in motion, moving rapidly, and then go on to next thing. You can see such a person would do best turned loose to go sell. He was so well-liked by people he had every friend he’d ever made, and knew everyone in county.
Last month, he ran into someone somewhere and sold them something, which is what he does best. He sold himself! He ran into a developer with many enterprises who had smarts to see what he was looking at, aided by fact that Monte showed him his profile, and explained what he was looking for in a work situation.
Fast forward … a base salary at 6 figures for doing host of jobs in any organization that befuddle and confuse people in locked-in jobs – such as when something goes wrong, or an ordnance needs to be worked through, or there’s a serious complaint that needs fixing, or a machine that needs to be repo’ed, and then commission for any of product he sold.
Someone like this, with that sort of networking skills is not going to show up in your employment or HR office looking for a job. They’ll be out and about doing what they do best, so keep your eyes open!
Don’t look for a sales person in your HR office, because fish don’t live on land. And if it “swims” like a sales person, catch it quick before it gets away.
