Have you ever felt invisible? My guest, Kate, was working a 9 to 5 job and felt completely invisible. She was doing great work, but when she went for a promotion she was turned down for someone from outside the company. Being turned down for the promotion is what led to some MAJOR changes in Kate's life. When Kate left her job she started an adventure that would lead to ultimate success, but there were some ups and downs that she went through first. It's easy to get overwhelmed over which step to take next in your sales journey, but Kate shows us that allowing ourselves to get uncomfortable is THE BEST way to make major strides in our business and in life. Kate didn't exactly know what she was offering to potential clients, but she didn't allow that to stop her from starting a business. She went on meeting after meeting and heard NO after NO, but she never stopped working. All of this experience helped groom Kate for the amazing entrepreneur that she is today!

Kate went to at least 12 meetings where she'd pitch herself, and continued to receive NO after NO.
