"I would say the greatest challenges I'll face in this role is learning the industry ins and outs to be perceived as an expert when making the pitch to new clients. I'm not worried about learning the material or the pitch, but there's more to being credible than the company's pitch. I want to immerse myself in the industry jargon and attend as many seminars and conventions as possible. I've already begun subscribing and reading the leading industry publications so that I can get into the nitty-gritty of how it all works. Of course, I will also seek out mentorship opportunities where I can learn from folks who have been in the industry for years. I find they love to share their knowledge and it gives me a leg up."
