SUSAN'S TIP: "Be bold. As you go forward, sometimes some of the things that we're being asked to do are a little bit scary, to voice your point of view when it might be different than others, to end up calling on new customers rather than those that know you and love you and trust you, to learn new technology when you've mastered a previous one, and you need to evolve. Sometimes it's scary and I would say that, acknowledge that, but do it anyway." JOE'S TIP: "Embrace the change. You're living in an environment now, there's more change on humankind than ever before with some of the AI and machine learning environments that we have out there.

Whether that be challenges, sale methodology, whatever you want to use, understand your industry and really get into it."

WILL'S TIP: "Whether you're a sales representative or you're a sales leader, I think you really need to dig deep on being intentional.

I have had amazing mentors, both men and women. Right now, Michele Bettencourt, the chair of our board meets with me every other week. It's a huge investment of her time. A mentor goes a long way in helping you to progress your career. But also just someone that you can discuss things with, and throw ideas against and get feedback on.

MARK'S TIP: "The biggest thing is take control. Take control of your destiny. Take control of your own success. Start today, look at your calendar and delete every single meeting that's not critical that you're in, or that isn't leading you toward delivering value for a customer. At the end of the day, we can't forget that the life we chose in sales means that we get paid to hit our number. At the end of the day, it always boils back down to that simple fact. What you have to do is block the noise out and take control and drive your own success." BRIAN'S TIP: "On a personal level really important just to keep your mental health front and center, whether that's exercising every day, whether that's finding some downtime, whether that's proper nutrition, whatever that is, to ensure your makeup as an individual for yourself, for your family, for your friends.
