Surviving—and thriving—in Sales

feat. Jeff Riseley, Founder at Sales Health Alliance

In this episode...

Jeff liked Sales. But he didn’t like the anxiety, insomnia, and panic attacks that came with the high-pressure job. When he found himself in hospital thinking his chest was about to explode, he knew something needed to change.

Inspired by his own dopamine addiction to a culture of commissions and bonuses, he founded Sales Health Alliance, a company dedicated to helping salespeople tackle anxiety and achieve their goals—without burning out.

You’ll hear how Jeff learned to better understand his emotions, why working in Sales is an extremely vulnerable experience, and why ‘mental health’ doesn’t equal mental illness.
