Invest in yourself.
I joined WISE (Women in Sales Everywhere) in August 2020 and that one investment has changed my life.
I know, I know, that sounds SUPER dramatic but hear me out…
During the summer of 2020, I was struggling to hit my quota as an Account Manager. The pandemic impacted a ton of my customers so badly that they were put on spending freezes. Luckily, I had a whole network of women to discuss creative strategies and selling tactics which helped me end the year much stronger than it started.
At the end of 2020, I was debating if switching from Account Management to Customer Success was the right next step for me in my career. WISE connected me with two lovely mentors, Celine Kimberly & Michelle Wideman, who supported me by sharing some of the best career advice I have ever been given. These two women not only assisted me with make this career switch, but they helped me navigate the role and all the new challenges I was facing once in it.
The advice those two mentors gave me, helped me get my coaching investment covered and yes, you guessed it – I met my coach, Alli Rizacos through WISE as well! The impact Alli has had on me has been life-changing. For starters, I wouldn’t have this blog if it weren’t for her. 😁
Finally, my most recent BIG win from this investment has been my new job! My new company, Movable Ink, found me through WISE as they are a sponsored company of the group. They reached out to me to discuss this open role they had, which seemed to be a good fit based on my experience. It 100% was a fit – and I start on Monday! I couldn’t be more excited for this next step in my career.
If you told me back in 2020 that this investment would have this big of an impact on my life I wouldn’t have believed you but here we are in 2022 with an incredible network, amazing mentors, a life-changing coach, and a NEW JOB!
You are always worth the investment.
