Are Salespeople More Gritty Than Non-Salespeople?

September 11, 2014

Back in June, we launched our Grit Test.  It measures your “grittiness” on a scale of 1-5, differentiated by sales person or non-sales person.  We’ve gotten a great response, and I’d like to share with you the results so far.    You can find out what grit really is, what it takes to have grit, and where grit comes from (the mind’s a funny thing).  For your reference, below are the grit posts by Keenan and myself, with quote excerpts from each. Have fun!
