Meet Chris von Huene, a long-term acquaintance turned friend. Currently serving as the Director of Sale at Prodigal, he came from a financial analytics background to outside B2B copiers sales to now SaaS.
Chris is a truly born hustler when it comes to sales. Starting off as an analyst, although he was good with numbers he quickly realized there was something bigger waiting for him in life.
That something bigger is Sales.
We live in a world now of instant gratification. Everybody wants things overnight. No wait, no work, just now.
Although this sounds nice, this isn't always the case.
So if you're a brand new SDR/BDR, how do you attack failure?
What do you do when sh*t hits the fan?
The only way to push forward is to Think Big.

My Life’s Purpose:
1. I will smile often and laugh deeply while always retaining a child-like mentality of fun and wonder
2. Staying true to myself and my values will allow me to make a positive and sustainable impact in as many lives as possible
