"I would say the greatest challenges I'll face in this role is learning the industry ins and outs in order to be perceived as an expert when making the pitch to new clients. I'm not worried in the least of learning the material or the pitch, but there's more to being credible and approachable about a topic than the company's pitch, so I want to be sure to really immerse myself in the industry lingo, attend as many seminars and conventions as possible, and I've already begun subscribing and reading the leading industry publications so that I can really 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 really gives me a leg up."
