Summary
To me, the quality of life and business is all in how you treat people. For the past 25+ years, I’ve built successful sales teams and drove 100’s of millions in revenue for companies. I’ve done this by being honest, respectful, and understanding that selling is a two way street.
Being well liked and respected has allowed me to call on my network and reach the decision makers that can have an impact on a Startup trying to get their first PO, or a company that wants to expand into uncharted markets.
