PD: Story Telling
After graduating college with a degree in English, I found myself wondering what exactly it was I wanted to do with my life. I spent my summers in college doing a door to door sales internship in which I was pretty successful and through which I gained a vast number of applicable real world marketable skills in the field of sales. It made the most sense to capitalize on my skill set and take the next step into corporate sales. I applied and was hired by a New York startup to be an outside sales rep for the Portland Metro area in Oregon. I was full of excitement for what the future held, especially now that I had a 6 figure salary to manifest all of my dreams.
The only problem was I had zero passion for the product I was selling, and the day to day activities mostly consisted of driving to different doctor’s offices and waiting in waiting rooms, trying to see doctors that had no interest in speaking with me. It wasn’t really the glitz and glam that I had been anticipating for my first
