Elevate with Paul Curtain

"Salespeople are a bunch of liquorice all sorts... It's not a government-type environment where you're dealing with similar personality types like doctors or lawyers. We have a very, very diverse array. So that creates challenge, but it also creates your opportunity because if you can get people to notice your messaging, then that gives you an edge in the market."
