Sam Weber, a 2014 Grove City College graduate, is the CEO and Founder of ProfilePasser.<\/p>\n
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Sam’s story and the insight that she had to give about being a successful real-life entrepreneur and principal salesperson of a company.<\/p>\n
Sam is such a driven individual, which is exactly why she is where she is today, and I’m grateful for the helpful tips that she gave us students about being an entrepreneur directly involved in the sales process of her company. Aside from not taking no for an answer, I think there are a lot of things that we can learn from Sam that she may not have verbally spoken to us.<\/p>\n
The first thing that I indirectly learned from Sam is that she was passionate about the problem. As entrepreneurs and salespeople, it is our first nature identify the pain and ease that pain as soon as \u00a0humanly possible. It may not even be a pain that we personally can relate to. The pain that Sam identified with the recruiting process for varsity soccer is also something that she is very passionate about, which is why she is so driven towards growing a business that solves this problem. Identifying a problem is one thing, trying to solve it is another; but really being passionate about the problem that you are trying to solve is what really matters.<\/p>\n
The second thing that I indirectly learned from Sam is how to sell your story. From hearing Sam’s story, she is definitely a person that doesn’t take no for an answer and is very persistent in her endeavors. I noticed while she told her story, it fired her up because she is so passionate about it. That is how we all need to be when it comes to selling. Not being fired up in an overbearing way that scares our prospect away, but a passion behind our story that also acts as a form of selling.<\/p>\n
Overall, Sam provided some great insight that will be helpful in the long run for all future entrepreneurs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
