Listen Later

You’re a secretary for a little while, but you’ve been watching the technicians, and you want to give it a try. 


So you become an apprentice.


You’ve been in the field for a little while, but you see a need to open a new location, and you write up a business proposal. 


So you become a general manager.


As a GM, what’s the key to your success? (Other than a phenomenal work ethic and passion for the industry.) 


Open-mindedness, especially in interviewing.


This is the true story of this episode’s guest, Samantha Salazar, General Manager at Rice Plumbing and Heating
