Competition in sales can be exciting and create extra motivation, drive and ambition to keep growing. However if it's framed in an unhealthy way it can often lead to tinted comparisons, anxiety and constantly feeling like you're not good enough.  To touch on how to avoid and tackle this, I'm joined on this episode by Mattia Schaper, Co-Founder & Sales Development Coach @ SDRs of Germany.

One of the biggest threats to your success in sales, and even in life, is your mindset.

Along with the topics above, I'll be asking Benjamin what else gets missed when thinking about mindset in sales, along with some of his defining moments that led him to where he is today.
