He shares his passion for sales and talks about how revenue is not what you must chase, but instead work on fulfilling client requirements. He shares how sales is no longer driven by targets, but instead by building relationships with clients.
He takes us through his time at campus and shares why elections, clubs and committees matter. He gives excellent tips on building a network (and finding love :D) right at b-school.
