What I Learned Working a 9 to 5 Selling Cruises

Back in 2008-2010, I did sales for Norwegian Cruise Line. I wore a suit every day to work and spent the entire day making sales calls, with the goal of making 150+ calls per day. It was my first real job after college and a short stint in professional baseball, and taught me a lot about sales, hard work, and navigating corporate culture.
Many of the lessons I learned in those 2 years at NCL have stuck with me to this day.
I overcame my fear of selling, while learning how to listen to customers. I learned that there is a lot of money and abundance in this world, and it isn't my job (especially in sales) to project my personal beliefs about money onto others. I learned what it took to become a top performer, and that it's a lot easier to stay at the top then it is to ascend there.

In the comments, let me know what former job that you've had that has had the most impact on you as a coach/gym owner.

Thanks man, I have an interview for a sales position with Holland America tomorrow and this really helped. I also dug how you used being a gym/business owner and how that pertains to being a top performer. Thanks again!

Thanks brother. I am actually really considering a sales position doing this work for the Norweign Cruise Line in Sunrise like you have. I had a guy lead me to this awesome opportunity. I LOVE making Money and I currently sale Art but my Boss doesn't pay the commission she used to and looking into selling other products to make the money you I deserve VS the peanuts that I given selling Art. I am really considering jumping on this job.
