The INSIDER PODCAST: SEASON 13 – EPISODE 2

Stress Less, Sell More

With Jeff Riseley




In this episode of ScaleX Insider, I spoke with Jeff Riseley, founder of the Sales Health Alliance, where we explored a wide array of topics crucial to the well-being and success of sales professionals. Jeff started by discussing the key to selling more by stressing less, advocating for strategies that enhance productivity without compromising mental health. He shared his inspiring journey from overcoming health challenges, including his transformation from a gym lump to achieving a cancer-free life, illustrating the resilience needed in both personal and professional spheres. Jeff also addressed how leaders can effectively support struggling reps, emphasising the importance of maintaining balance when overwhelmed and strategies to rewire anxiety, drawing parallels to the mindset of superheroes like Spiderman. We delved into the critical issue of mental health in sales, where Jeff highlighted that 70% of sales reps struggle with mental health, stressing the urgent need for awareness and support systems within sales teams. He also explored the impact of green spaces on mental well-being and discussed the nuances of returning to office environments, examining its effects on productivity and overall health. Throughout our conversation, Jeff underscored the dark side of sales success and the imperative of fostering a culture that prioritises mental health to sustain long-term success in the sales profession.
