Today's podcast guest is Doreen Burse.  I originally met her when she was the Vice President of Marriott's Global Sales for the U.S. and Canada. She led a cross-functional global account team serving hundreds of accounts, representing about 1,000 associations, 250 corporations, and hundreds of group intermediary partners, TMCs, retail agencies and other organizations representing $16 billion in annual spending.

In this conversation I learn about her background of growing up on a dairy farm in Western Massachusetts, how she and her siblings would sell corn and pumpkins off their road, and why she needed to be independent enough to live on her own at age 18.

Doreen's story is one of learning, ambition, and genuine caring for others.  She would often take new positions just to expand her own knowledge and add to her experience base.  She shares talk of mentors that helped her and her genuine desire to help others succeed.

She overcomes adversity and learns how to appreciate life even more in the moment. Finally, she reveals a few traits that she believes encompass the BEST SALESPEOPLE.
