I've always said that before you can become good in sales, you have to stop trying to be a "salesman." I go out every day to build relationships while traveling around Michigan. While my products in automation can vary from day to day, my main goal is to sell myself. I use every day as an opportunity to learn. Whether it's product knowledge, technical info, or that one of my customers welcomed a baby into this world, my goal each and every day is to be a single point of contact with the knowledge, expertise, and care that my customers demand.
