Episode 28 – “Why Sales is a Great Career for Ex-Mil Personnel” with Ben Read

Growing up with a military family, Ben had guidance throughout his leave process, but not much of a plan. 

After gaining a lot of experience selling photocopiers in London, he found his footing in tech sales. 

But what really makes a good sales person?

His core mission after leaving was to learn the sales trade as quickly as possible, to earn as much as possible, but he realised that this industry has a lot more than what’s on the surface. 

Listen to this episode to hear Ben talk about sales methodologies, processes, and the psychology behind staying calm throughout the storm of sales and how his reactive transition led him to be the founder of a tech startup called Redeployable, a matching platform that helps employers connect with amazing veteran talent.
