PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS QUOTES
- "Don't care if the world's on fire, nothing is more important. And I've had reps say to me like, 'Oh, you know, the customer could only meet at this time.' I respond back to the customer and I'm super transparent about it."
- "It's humanizing yourself. I'm more than a VP of sales at reprise. I'm more than an AE of reprise. I'm a dad. I'm a husband."
- "When you look at folks like customer success or product, like, how do you know that they're working? And I think that you have to trust and set expectations."
- "Embrace it, embrace working from home. There's nothing wrong with the dog barking in the background. There's nothing wrong with the kid walking in the room."
- "You don't need to be sorry for the dog barking or the kid wanting to say hi. We're humans."
