Clip from Episode 37: Dayna Leaman, Senior Account Manager at Wiley – Building a Sales Career:
I think I would have taken more classes whether it’s in management or marketing or sales. And frankly zoned in on people that I wanted to mentor and leaders that I appreciated. I don’t think I did that enough. I don’t think I sought out I think because being in that retail space for so long I don’t think I sought out what other industries where you can make a career and a very successful one at sales. So I wish I would have gotten into more professional sales much sooner than I did for sure.
