Qayyim opened up about his initial days of making sales through door-knocking, a method that not only built his resilience but also honed his ability to professionally handle objections. He observed that while friends and family might take time to come around, strangers often prove to be more receptive. By maintaining focus and determination, he was able to navigate through negativity, using his knowledge as a tool to educate those around him about his services. He views successful sales as a numbers game, drawing from his engineering background to calculate the ratio of rejections to meetings, confident that conversion rates improve with time.

Qayyim also delved into the creation of TAQWA, emphasizing the importance of brand and impression in making the community feel included. His vision for TAQWA was to establish it as the leading Muslim financial advisory firm, a dream that has been realized through consistent goal-setting and community-focused efforts over the last decade.
