"I began my career in sales in high school working part-time for a small local jewelry store. I was paid hourly but also on commission for selling pieces over 300, and this is when I realized I not only enjoyed sales but actually had an ability to be fairly successful at sales. I then went to college and majored in business, and immediately after college began my work as a sales professional in the travel industry. I successfully worked in this industry for 4 years, making 6 figures in only my 2nd year. Soon after, I made the transition to insurance sales, and have been working in this niche for almost 6 years now. The common thread between all industries is that regardless of what you're selling, the same sales skills are utilized. I frequently tap into my communication skills and ability to build relationships to help meet goals."
