Full show notes complete with shareable clips and links to items mentioned in the show available at: https://top1.fm/47

In this episode Scott talks to Mike McDonough. What makes Mike remarkable is that he only started in sales 4 years ago when he took his first ever sales role as a Client Development Rep at Seismic. Formerly a firefighter and paramedic, Mike started with a blank slate and rapidly learned the skills necessary to become the top enterprise sales rep at Seismic.

Mike talks about the things he did in the early days at Seismic that have contributed to his success, his progression through 4 different roles (Client Development Rep, Inside Sales Manager, Enterprise Sales Director, RVP Enterprise Sales) with the company and the importance of advocating for yourself.
