Your Bad (Internal) Reputation

Watch this week's Short Attention Span Sales Tip here.

Good morning!

You may be killing your own sales — and not because of your pricing, prospecting, or pitch. The real problem? Your internal reputation.

While salespeople work hard to earn client trust and deliver results, it’s easy to overlook how crucial it is to maintain a strong relationship with your in-house team. If your attitude rubs people the wrong way, if you’re known for poor communication or sloppy order entry, don’t be surprised when production teams deprioritize your jobs, overlook your questions, or fail to support your success.

This isn’t about being liked — it’s about being trusted and respected by the very people who help you deliver on your promises.

• Be thorough and accurate with your paperwork.
• Say thank you — often.
• Ask for input.
• Show gratitude.
• Drop the ego.

You want better service from your team? Give them a better version of you. A “thank you” note, a genuine compliment, or simply doing your job well can shift your internal reputation — and that shift can lead directly to better results, faster turnarounds, and more closed deals.

Want to sell more? Start by being someone your coworkers want to help.
