>> So, I started right out of Penn state as an account representative within the organization,
had a local territory and was responsible for small to medium business within that territory.
I had to develop a lot of my own business, and really with the way my organization has changed,
we've really gone towards a, you know a diversified model have what we had in the past,
and there's a lot of marketing that goes into that.
Sales obviously has to do with results and closing, but it also has to do with marketing,
you know where the company is at, and where it's going.
So taking my marketing degree, utilizing that as an account representative and being able
to develop my own business, and make those relationships to allow me to transition,
and then, you know through some success into a sales management role, it's a role I've been
in for 6 months now, and something that I really enjoy, and I think a lot of my experience
at Penn state and even as an account representative has really developed me
to where this is something I want to keep doing, and moving forward with,
and ultimately continuing to help people, you know attain the goals that they want to get to
and really be able to influence people.
