"After school, I took a year to try to start up a clothing company with a friend of mine decided that was not the path for me."

"My responsibility is to make sure the team hits our annual sales goals."

"I'm pretty much just on call trying to help in any way I can"

"Sales is probably the best way to learn any industry; you're forced to speak the language, to talk to people, to understand their problems and to try to be solution oriented and add value."

"Every day is new. You're always fighting your battles, but at the end of the day you get to work with people."

"managing egos and interests is not always the most fun thing. But you know when you get it right, it's rewarding."

"when you work in a finance company...you get to learn about them at a really deep level."

"I think it's just about being true to what you are and not trying to wear a different mask because at the end of the day you're going to regress and default back to your true nature."

"It's okay to say no. And just be very direct. I think people really appreciate a clear and concise message."

"There are literally entry-level sales roles in every industry."

"I think it's important to create value. If you're talking to a client...try to listen to the problem and then be solution oriented trying to create value for them."
