Anthony Potter- What If The Next Step Isn’t A Job Title But A Toolkit

Send us Fan Mail Career clarity rarely arrives as a thunderclap. It shows up in steady conversations, small experiments, and the right guide who asks better questions. We sit down with Anthony Potter, Business Development Manager for Northern Queensland at the Globus family of brands, to unpack how a six-month TIME mentoring journey reshaped his path without forcing him into a new persona or a narrow title. Anthony’s story will resonate with anyone in travel, tourism, or sales who loves building others up but hasn’t fully mapped their own next step. He breaks down what a great BDM actually does—coaching trade partners, delivering training, and driving growth—then shows how mentoring turned those instincts inward. With a mentor aligned to touring and river cruising, he set a rhythm of bi-weekly micro-goals, reflected honestly on strengths, and learned to design progress without chasing a single “perfect” job. We dive into a practical blueprint for genuine networking when walking into a room feels daunting: warm introductions, focused coffees, value-first follow-ups, and a flywheel of familiar faces at future events. Anthony also shares the surprisingly powerful habit that changed his daily execution—taking notes live to signal attention, capture “golden points,” and improve follow-through. Along the way, we explore why an external mentor sees patterns your team can’t, how vulnerability accelerates growth, and why crafting a toolkit often beats fixating on a title. If you’re ready to turn momentum into a method—more confidence at events, clearer development plans, and a network that compounds—this conversation offers a tested path forward.
