The firm has long been confident that those with a background in sports have a stronger chance of finding success in the business world due to their transferable skills. Sport teaches an individual a lot about being disciplined towards achieving goals; the determination to succeed, hard work, ability to deal with pressure are all attributes that are transferable between sport and business.
This way of thinking has led O'Connor Marketing to reach out to people with a background in sports because they find these individuals: team orientated, leaders, motivated, decision makers, stay calm under pressure, over-achievers, are goal orientated and ambitious. O'Connor Marketing desires these characteristics in the sales contractor they work with.
O'Connor Marketing states that many characteristics that sport prepares a person with, which can seamlessly be transferred into the business world. New research has further strengthened this belief that sport and business success are intertwined; Australian's who play sport regularly are 64% more likely to achieve their financial goals than those that don't participate in sport.
Sport is outcome-orientated, states O'Connor Marketing, and it's about securing defined goals in a highly competitive environment. For this reason, business and especially the sales and marketing industry can be described in similar terms. O'Connor Marketing observes the similarities between top sports professionals and the firm's top sales contractors as:
