Words of wisdom I would give:

  • Stay focused and never take “no” for an answer. You never know what that person you are talking to is going through that day and if you try back in a week/month, or so, they’ll probably forget they ever talked to you.
  • Never be too proud to learn from someone else or to ask questions.
  • Remember the only time you fail is by not trying.
  • Always find the positive in every situation you are in.
  • Be resilient, learn from your mistakes.
  • Network, network, network.
  • Always ask if there is anyone else you can talk to at their company, or other companies, when you are in a meeting or on phone call.
  • Always be pleasant and persistent.
  • Never give up and kill them with kindness.
  • Always have a firm handshake and look the person in the eye.
  • Always remember God gave us two ears and one mouth.
  • Get the person talking and listen as much as you can.
