🌟 The ‘Hunter’ vs. the ‘Farmer’: Which Are You?
Let’s be honest. Not every salesperson is a closer.
Some are farmers: nice, stable, reactive. Good at keeping existing clients happy.
And some are hunters: aggressive, sharp, proactive. Built to chase and close.
You can’t be both. And you shouldn’t want to.
🌫️ Farmers wait. Hunters hunt.
Farmers:
-
Respond to inbound leads
-
Nurture accounts for years
-
Avoid confrontation
-
Say “yes” too easily
Hunters:
-
Go after high-value prospects
-
Get on the phone before 9am
-
Hear “no” and push anyway
-
Close fast or move on
Farmers want safety. Hunters want blood.
🚨 Harsh truth: most sales teams are full of farmers with fancy titles
“Account executive”
“Relationship manager”
“Business consultant”
Nice words for reps who can’t close.
They build pipelines, not pressure. They protect accounts, not profit.
And they blame the leads when nothing lands.
📈 Real growth comes from hunters.
They drive revenue.
They create pipeline.
They don’t ask for permission. They take the shot.
If your sales career feels stuck, ask yourself:
Am I really hunting? Or just waiting to be fed?
