QUOTES

Scott on why he loves working in sales: "I think I just love working with people and it's fun to talk about a cool new product and how it can change their lives. And when they engage and you realize, okay they also agree that it's gonna change their lives and improve their business, it's just very satisfying."

Scott's advice for sales leaders: "No matter what happens, you got to stay positive. Because you have a purpose, you have a mission, you have a great product -- if it's not a great product, you probably shouldn't be trying to sell it. You got to remain excited to tell others about it, remain excited to have your team tell others about it, continue to work on it."

Scott on the importance of securing customers early: "Even if it's early, go get customers. It's very energizing whenever one says, wow, someone's whole company just agreed to use our product. It's very energizing because then they realize, we're not just making a product, we're not just talking about it. Other people  are putting up money to use it, to achieve what we've said we believe they can do with it."
