Embracing Risks and Challenging Norms Leads to Reward

Once upon a time, I was told not to bother chasing a lead because our channel couldn’t facilitate what they wanted. I chased it anyway, fought to support it and won the biggest deal in the channel’s history.

This experience taught me that sometimes, it’s essential to challenge the norms and believe in your instincts. Success isn’t just about luck; it’s about the relationships we foster and the value-added communities we build.

Some of our greatest selling is internally! Knowing who can support you and make big decisions while understanding your customers’ needs helps you be their advocate as you influence your organizational leaders to get in the boat with you.

Throughout my journey, I’ve come to understand the incredible power of networking. It’s not just about collecting connections; it’s about creating meaningful relationships that can open doors you never knew existed. From landing job opportunities to uncovering hidden gems in the market, relationships and effectively influencing are supremely valuable.

My journey has been a fusion of unconventional choices, networking triumphs, resilience building, and standing out in the crowd. So, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Embrace risks, cultivate relationships, learn from every experience, and dare to stand out and take big swings.

Success is a journey that’s uniquely yours to craft.
