QUOTES

Dean: "Focusing on the things that can separate you from everybody else–being ready for a presentation, working with you today, doing your research, planning and preparation, basic human relation skills. And I think this is not taught at the Harvard Business School. These are things that you learn through life."

Dean: "Again, that word EQ, emotional intelligence, wasn't discussed when we graduated from college, but I think it's the foundation of what good salespeople have versus those who are too salesy. The emotional intelligence is listening, showing empathy, and realizing that the buyer on the other side of the telephone or conference call or in person, they're in the same boat we are."

Andy: "Don't be a know-it-all, which I subscribe to, I think people need to be learn-it-alls, not know-it-alls. Especially for a sales role, you say ‘Don't take all the credit, share the wins’."

Dean: "Find out what really matters to you. Values, goals, priorities. I think that's what it's all about."
