The veteran sales executive sat down with a freelance journalist to discuss his life, his career, and his professional philosophy

SAVAGE, MN / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2021 / It is with great enthusiasm that veteran sales executive John Hersey announces that he is the subject of a new, in-depth interview. The interview, which was conducted by freelance journalist Suzie Zeng on behalf of an online periodical that concentrates on matters of health and wellness, was published on September 2nd, 2021.

Early on in the piece, John Hersey is asked how he motivates members of his sales team and all those who look to him for guidance. "The unique thing about motivating people, I think, is that everybody is so different. People are becoming more different and dynamic as the years progress," he replies, elaborating that the key is to find out what motivates each individual. "Some people are better motivated by praise-you know, lots of 'atta boys'-whereas other people take a bit of a stronger approach. Some people don't respond to the soft approach, and they need a little more fire in their step, so to speak. Some people are motivated by titles. Some people are monetarily motivated. Some people are motivated by more time off, or by good deeds, or by a job well done. So it just depends. The key, for somebody who manages people, is to find those trigger points."

Further along in the interview, by means of addressing a question about a piece of advice he has never forgotten, John Hersey responds, "Years ago, there was a guy that I worked for in Kansas City. He really got into my psyche with a piece of advice he once gave me, which was to keep a daily to-do list. Ever since then, I have been a stringent believer in daily to-do lists. It keeps you on track. During the course of a workday, or even an hour sometimes, you can get sidetracked solving whatever problems happen to present themselves. Some people call it ‘putting out fires.' Then, suddenly, it's 5 o'clock and you've accomplished nothing that day. But if you have a to-do list, you've at least got some sort of guideline to refer back to, to steer yourself back on track," he asserts. "If you don't get something done on one day, then you add it to the next day's list. And when you do get something done, you get to cross it off the list. It's like a tiny reward-you get to feel accomplished. You'll have days where you manage to cross everything off, and you can look at that and have proof that you had a pretty good day."
