“I tell my students, many people think being a salesperson is convincing someone to buy a product. The truth of the matter is that being an effective salesperson involves listening to what people’s needs are, and expressing what your value proposition is in regards to those needs. That’s what I’m doing with my students. I listen to understand what their problems are, understand what’s in the way of their learning, then help them find a way to meet their needs.”
