Pump Up Songs

1. “Tightrope (feat. Big Boi)” – Janelle Monáe

Go ahead, dance up on them haters ... there are enough of them.

2. “Lose Yourself” – Eminem

This track is great for both a jog and to get you pumped at the office.

“Sales it's a space where you can lose yourself really easily if you don’t have a clear motivation of why you are doing what you are doing,” says Diego Tibamoso Flechas, a senior manager of sales at HubSpot. “You need to have concrete KPIs and…a clear long-term vision and short-term goals.”

Flechas parts out the following line as a favorite: “Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity/To seize everything you ever wanted. One moment, would you capture it?/Or just let it slip.”

3. “The Final Countdown” – Europe

According to the Pomodoro technique, you're most productive when you work in blocks — typically 25 minutes long — then take a five-minute break. Blast this tune during the first or last five minutes of your work sprints to get your energy levels up.

4. “Bright Future in Sales” – Fountains of Wayne

Every salesperson's anthem, celebrating that victorious moment when the deal is closed.

(It'd be a shame if you had to interrupt your flow to log all of your prospecting activity. If you need a sales tool that works for you and not the other way around, try HubSpot's free CRM today.)

5. “Hungry Like the Wolf” – Duran Duran

Because when you're prospecting, you should be on the hunt - just like a wolf.

For the last few days of the month when you need to close deals and create new opportunities at the same time.

7. “Won’t Back Down” – Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers

You won’t close every deal. You may lose clients or face a tough sell. No matter what, it’s essential to keep your head up.

That’s why Eoghan O’Neill, a CMS and operations sales specialist, suggests “Won’t Back Down.”

“Tech Sales can be tough you come across difficult customers, competitors, technical questions, the dreaded ‘no’ word, and many other challenges. But, I won‘t back down. I’ll keep going and get through it,” O’Niell says.

8. “Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)” – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Nothing can stop you — not even the ceiling.

You‘re a survivor, and you’ll make it through this week!

Growth is a team sport, but prospecting isn‘t. It’s every salesperson for themselves in the jungle of leads ... unless you find one that's not in your territory.
