After completing the leadership strengths assessment, my two strongest results were Influencing and Strategic Thinking. I have worked in the Sales industry for the past 7 years and one aspect for my success has always been with the capacity to influence the clients to do business with me and my firm. My personal mantra when working with clients is the adage of treating people as family. The client has the opportunity to experience this with each time we work together.
