Clip from Episode 36: Camille Clemons – Financial Services Sales Career Transitions:
I’ve taken a ton of time to make sure that this is like a pristine part of my of my job. So when you have tools that do not work for you don’t think that there’s not a better way to do it because there is there’s always a better way. I think the bank issued laptop that I had to deal with for a couple of years. Finally I just bit the bullet and bought my own laptop and we figured out a way to have a virtual desktop in the office that got all the updates that it needed to get the new software and the patches and all of those things. So it took that off of me and allowed me to carry an efficient machine with kind of the most up to date software. So that was number one my MacBook is half of my life. The other half is my iPhone. I don’t leave the home without that or my Jabra elites which our little ear buds that are wireless. But I’ve tried probably 15 different ear buds in the marketplace and none of them were sufficient either the person on the other line couldn’t hear or you couldn’t hear or it muffled when it was windy. And I found that these are really helpful.
