Transcript

I was thinking about careers as salespeople could so easily pivot into outside of like the obvious like account management and in my top three would be becoming a therapist. And every B2B salesperson is going to know what I mean because you already are. You're asking them questions to get them to see it more. You're asking who else is involved, what else have you tried to do to fix this? It's all the same questions that a therapist would ask you. The big difference is this time you just gotta keep it confidential, which might be harder said than done.
