David Dember β Sales Executive
Ever since I was 5 years old, I have had a passion for sales. I was the kid outside in the HOTβοΈsun in Tucson, Arizona selling lemonadeπ to my neighbors. If that was knocking on their doorπͺ, or them coming to my stand, it was about the hunt, the sale, the process. β€οΈ I grew up in a Greek π¬π· family, which means that I got to see what HARD WORK looks like firsthand. My mother always told me " David, If you're going to do something, give it 120%, or don't do it at all!". You could say that there was a lot of tough love in my family. AND YES my mother is 100% Greek! #Opa π½ π· Growth for me is the underlying passion that drives my sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. In baseball βΎοΈ you can fail 7 out of 10 times you're going to the hall of fame.
