The Action Catalyst
CLIP: To Switch or Not To Switch

Salespeople are kind of classically known for switching companies. What is your opinion on that? Do you think it's negative to be switching all the time? Yeah, I think there's two things. The first is, for my definition of body of work, it's really as you look at the course of your life, what are all the things that you really want to create, contribute, affect, and impact?

And so with that as a definition, I don't just mean concrete things like helping to build organizations through sales, which is a hugely important skill set which salespeople have, but it's also in what are the intangible ways in which you affect the world?

And then you do that through your skills and strengths.
