DENISE'S TIP FOR EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "One of the traits that we're honing in on from a sales perspective is really ensuring that people that join the team on the sale side understand resilience. That's an overused word right now but it is the, "Can you deal with hardship and just keep going?" Persistence has largely led us through the year. We got through the year on our backs as a company with persistence and resilience, so ensuring that people that join the company – because I don't think it's over, there are more challenges ahead – always be growing, persistence and resilience."

JENNIFER'S TIP FOR EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "As leaders, it's critical that we make space for people to feel comfortable. And if you're not at a company where your leader is doing that, then it is on you. You must take control of your own career and you must take control of your personal confidence and your ability. Really understand your worth and your value. Life is very short. If you're not happy, you can start looking around. The job market is a wonderful place right now in technology and across other industries, so it's about knowing your worth. Know your worth, don't hesitate to reach out to people who you think might be beyond you – no one is beyond you – and really take stock of where you are, what you're doing. If you're not happy, if you don't believe that a company culture matches your values, you need to find a company that does. It's that black and white."
