QUOTES

Samantha: “What was interesting when I got in that role, which really changed the lens for me about sales, was it this is about helping people.”

Samantha: “You also have to have faith in yourself what you bring to the table and the person that you are.”

Samantha: “Number one, just make sure that your quotas are realistic. Number two, for reps, when you're thinking about your number, what I would advise you and how I've always been so consistently successful, is I figure out how to hit my number by myself.”

Samantha: “Help them make more money by making them more effective at their jobs.”

Samantha: “Just think about when you do your reach out, you know, are you just being human?”

Samantha: “Tell me specifically what you do. And let's see if I can find somebody who can buy from you or wants to take a meeting with you, even if it's not us.”

Samantha: “You got to build that resiliency some said at some point and we're not all getting out if you can't take the heat as they say.”
