Today's show featured an interview with Account Executive extraordinaire JC Pollard. JC'S ADVICE:  "Dress for the job you want. Don’t prepare or practice for the job you have now, practice for the job you want. For example, right now I’m in mid-market, I’m already listening to enterprise sales calls. I’m always thinking, “What’s the next thing I want to do? How can I already start preparing for that?” I think that just accentuates and speeds up your progression and allows you for when it is time to take that next step, you’ve already been prepared for it for a long time."

If there’s a role that you want to go into, find people that are doing the role you want to do, whether it’s the next role or two roles up, and talk to them and figure out what are your gaps to getting there. Have them help you focus on what can a development plan be so that you can continue to grow. You need to have that early, and at no point does it ever end.”

GREG’S ADVICE:  “Our body really pays attention to what we do in our brain, and really pays attention to what we do in our body. If we can consciously take a breath when we go to do important actions, and that breath is actually anchored in some of the things that we learn in processing our emotions, a conscious breath is an amazingly powerful thing to do before we pick up the phone to make the call. “Aah,” call. ANTONIA’S ADVICE: “When you’re taking that breath, whether it’s before you’re going on stage or picking up the phone, you’re breathing in and you are right here, right now. You’re thinking of present moment awareness, not worrying about the past or fearing the future. You are right in the present moment where the love happens, the healing happens, the knowing happens so that you can project your true spirit right in the moment.”

The show was hosted by IES Women in Sales Program Director Gina Stracuzzi. Elyse’s customer Amy Kniseley appeared on the show as well. ELYSE’S ADVICE:  “Instead of making a list of reasons why you can’t, in your head, why don’t you make a list of reasons why you can and quit going from worst case scenario to best case scenario. You have to be your own best advocate, not just in sales, but in life, in all areas of life. Make a list of reasons why it’s possible for you.  Your customers, your money, your job opportunities, they’re just going to mirror to you how you’re feeling and thinking about you. You’ll see things start to shift, but it has to start with you validating you first.”

David was featured on the podcast in 2019. Listen to the show here. DAVID’S ADVICE:  “Like when handicapping horse racing, it’s doing your homework. My first job as an individual contributor was before the internet was really up and running. I went to the library to study my clients and learn about them. I knew holistically what the agency did, what their mission was. It’s really do your homework. Trust your judgment, trust yourself. Give yourself some credit. More importantly and equally important, follow your passions. They will fuel you mentally and other ways into a successful career.”

Mayssa was the winner in 2023. Attend the award event here. MARGO’S ADVICE:  “I’m a big fan of setting the next meeting while in the current meeting, also doing those monthly meetings with who matters most, or really a quarterly cadence. But the more you stay in front of the right people and are stringent about your calendar and where you’re spending time and energy, that’s the real way to advance and see tangible results with what you’re trying to accomplish.” MAYSSA’S ADVICE:  “Find joy in what you do and find what motivates you. Find your why, why will you get up in the morning every day? What do you want to be remembered for at the end of your career? It’s only after you have answered those questions that you will be able to, one, understand your motivation, and two, operate at your most optimal and happiest level.
