#199 S2 Episode 68 - Losing It All Twice & to Level Up Personally and Professionally with Edward Purmalis

This episode of the Sales Transformation Podcast with Collin Mitchell features Edward Purmalis, Podcast Advisor at Salescast and host of The Level Up Show. Pursuing sales was not in Edward's life plans. But with the advent of 2020 and the massive losses experienced then, Edward had to bounce back with something new. He returned to his roots in sales and levelled up by discovering SaaS selling. He shares the awesome opportunities in sales but also the need to remain grounded on your morals. Edward quickly realized that receiving big commission checks are great but never at the cost of your values. Edward also shares how he embraced social media and took the plunge to start his own podcast. The goal of his podcast is to share stories from people who have already made it and teach you the secrets of levelling up your own career.

QUOTES

07:16 "If you're constantly in an environment of people who really indulge in the narcissistic and manipulative ways, you'll see yourself slowly growing into that, and that didn't lead to anything good. I had to get a real reality check."

10:01 "The best, most brilliant, top performing sellers that I know all have those traits, all have the ability to always be open-minded, willing to learn, willing to take feedback, and willing to put it into action, and understand patience and playing the long game."

22:02 "I'd say losing a lot of confidence is pretty normal, if you lose the things that you have. And the biggest lesson that I learned is to surround yourself with people who actually understand your value and understand your growth."
