Quotes:
- “I learned really early on that you got to be people focused, because you can’t do it yourself.”
- “Be willing to have those tough conversations and tell people you know the good and the bad, and I think you want that in return. I want that just as much as they want to receive that.”
- “Selling to me is just people. It’s understanding people that have problems with pain, and helping them solve it.”
- On being a sales leader, “We should get behind that and support people in whatever it takes to get them what they want. Because ultimately, it’s not your why it’s their why. Why are they doing it? No one cares why I’m doing it. They care why they’re doing it. But looking for those leaders, I definitely learned to probably be more people centric, and less, less stick.”
- “The more diverse of a team you have, the more difference of opinions that you have and the more differing viewpoints that you have, which only help make you more successful because it diversifies your entire team.”
- “What people are looking for is a team”
