Episode Notes

This is episode 5 of a 5 part series Jake gives on his 5 habits of successful salespeople. In this final session, Jake talks about the importance of planning for your career in the long term and takes a question on how to have a conversation with your boss to get future promotions.

In this episode, Jake covers:

• Your manager doesn’t promote you, your manager’s boss promotes you. To get promoted, you need to know the unstated expectations of your boss's boss 
• Your company is not 100% responsible for your professional development. You are. But, you can find companies that will invest in you 
• Know your skill set and do things to make yourself sharper down the road
