SOUROR’S TIP: “Don’t be afraid of rejection. My biggest thing is I pick up the phone and I just make the phone call. Whether it’s your management, whether it’s a customer, whether it’s something that you need from somebody to take that next step. Worst-case scenario, it’s a no, and you move on. But best-case scenario, you get what you had hoped for.”
JESSICA’S TIP: “Invest in yourself. Be proactive with getting better at your job by finding a mentor, by attending trainings. They will help with your professional development. Go to the live events, push yourself outside of the comfort zone and just build those connections. That’s how we thrive in this business – off of the connection.”
