                  At 17, Nicholas Thickett’s dreams of a law degree were accidentally transformed into a career in professional sales. He advanced quickly in professional services, financial services and corporate finance until his ‘hustle’ earned him a 30 day all inclusive hospital visit that flipped his world upside down.

                  He realized the way he was taught to sell didn’t align with how people wanted to buy which forced excessively long hours and wasted effort. He began studying social psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics to evolve how we sell. Now, Nick’s the Marketing Manager at KO Advantage and the host of the B2B Power Hour podcast. He says the future of sales is here, for those that are ready!
