Think sales and battle rap have nothing in common? Think again.
Barter walks through memory lane in this episode, revealing how his experience as a competitive Battle Rapper gave him a major edge when he transitioned into the sales world:
🎤 Mastering memorization to internalize scripts
🎤 Performing under pressure in front of hostile crowds
🎤 Honing delivery, cadence and "crowd control"
🎤 Collaborating with a team to prepare
As Troy breaks down, there are KEY parallels between rap battles and crushing quota as a rep.
The ability to quickly memorize "bars", deliver with commanding stage presence, and stay cool under fire are all skills that translate perfectly into killing it on cold calls and demos.
So while you may not be spitting rhymes, the intangibles learned from his rap career helped Barter rapidly rise through the ranks from the determination, competitiveness, and 'think on your feet' attitude.
It's an entertaining look at how hustling hard in one arena can set you up for success in another, for sure. Tune in for more... No rap battle experience required!
