Notable Quotes:
“…it was a lot of creating value and finding the problem that the person needs to be solved and inserting you as the solution to that. It was uncomfortable, absolutely. But [my old company] did a really good job of helping me recognize that your comfort level needs to grow. Otherwise, you won’t grow as a salesperson.”
– Nick Psaros
“Go measure yourself not on how many hours went by in your workday, but measure yourself on what you accomplished that day. If you do that, then you can start to quantify your efforts and move the needle.”
– Nick Psaros
