Key Interview Takeaways
Every life experience is a stepping stone. Roach contends that her time as an NFL cheerleader prepared her for entrepreneurship, helping her learn how to put herself out there in a big way.
Top-performing salespeople use their time differently. Roach had early success in sales because she prioritized the things that get results. She spent the majority of her time in conversation with prospects and clients, making it a point to follow up and follow through.
Nurture a nothing-to-lose mindset. Roach’s approach to sales begins with a recognition that the prospect is not paying her now, so a ‘no’ isn’t the end of the world. She frames sales as simply asking a qualified buyer to investigate your solution.
Reignite your passion with a clear focus on WHY. If you’ve lost connection with your mission, Roach suggests beginning and ending each day with a reminder of your purpose, the meaning behind why you do what you do.
Work toward balance by making family a priority. For every decision, Roach asks herself, “Is this the right thing for my family?”
