When I was in the Sales Development Training Program for flavors, I had the opportunity to shadow a highly skilled account manager in cosmetics. It was a completely different industry, a different style of selling different products, and a different value prop. And it was so eye-opening. Taking best practices I’ve seen from different groups is the skill that makes me successful.
