How to Go from Average to Elite in Remote Sales

February 11, 20251 min read

Most reps stay stuck at the same level because they never push beyond the basics. Elite closers separate themselves by sharpening skills, increasing output, and never letting themselves coast. If you want to move from average to elite, here’s what it takes.


Develop the Skills That Actually Matter

A lot of reps focus on the wrong things. The best closers master the skills that directly lead to more sales.

  • Controlling the call: If you don’t lead, you’ll lose.

  • Handling objections before they come up: Anticipation beats reaction.

  • Closing with confidence: Hesitation costs deals.

If you’re not improving these skills daily, you’re falling behind.


Outwork Everyone Else

There’s no shortcut to elite performance. The best reps:

  • Make more calls and take more swings: More reps, more results.

  • Constantly improve their process: Every conversation is an opportunity to refine their approach.

  • Push themselves past comfort: Growth only happens under pressure.

The average rep works until they’re tired. The elite rep works until they’re better.


Get in the Right Environment

If you want to be elite, surround yourself with people who are already winning.

  • Learn from top closers: Study what they do differently.

  • Hold yourself to a higher standard: Don’t accept “good enough.”

  • Stay accountable: High performers push each other to stay sharp.

Your success is a direct reflection of the environment you put yourself in.
