On Friday, February 6, Evan Adams from NoWait came to our class to speak about the successful app that he has been an integral part of. NoWait is an app used by restaurants and its customers allowing them to view the wait list and add their party’s name to it from their phone. Evan’s main duty for the company is to continue increasing their number of clients. Currently, NoWait has 800,000 individuals who have downloaded the app and are in 4,000 of the 250,000 restaurants in the U.S.<\/p>\n

One comment that Evan said truly stuck with me. He said “a lot of times the best sales people are entrepreneurial” at heart. One of the members on the sales team at NoWait started a new saying he uses after every deal he closes. It is something along the lines of “I am glad we were able to reach this agreement. From now on your are my boss and I work for you” and he proceeds to hand them all his contact information and encourages they reach out at anytime. That’s when it clicked. A salesman is truly running his own small business within a larger entity. If he wants to be successful he needs to take extra steps in order to grow those working relationships. Each client is like another business that he is a part of and he must treat differently. Once individuals in sales begin to realize the way to success is by giving of yourself. The more you are there for your client and go the extra mile, the more your personal business will grow.\u00a0Salesman truly are entrepreneurial, whether they are prepared to realize it or not. \u00a0\"2014-No-Wait-restaurant-app.jpg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
