Hey, this is Aandra Bohlen, and if you want to learn the six and seven figure science to success, significantly increase your revenue, and learn how to successfully build professional relationships, you should be listening to the Sell Without Selling Podcast with my good friend, Stacey O’Byrne.
[Intro]
Stacey: Let’s do this, Aandra, how are you?
Aandra: I’m good. Thank you so much for having me. This is going to be so much fun. I can already feel it.
Stacey: I’m excited. I know that you’ve got a really crazy schedule that you pack yourself productively, and I want to make sure that we just leverage your time, our listener’s time, and my time and just knock this out of the park.
Aandra: Let’s do it.
Stacey: Alright, so you know you’ve got a hell of a background in sales. You really climbed the corporate ladder and worked for some pretty big companies. So did you just wake up one day and go, “Hmm I think I just want to be in sales.”
Aandra: No. What’s funny is I kind of fell into it. As a young 16 year old the only jobs you could get were at fast food joints and things like that nature, and I had a friend that told me, “Hey you should try this telemarketing job.” That’s what they called it back then. And I tried it and quite frankly I fell in love with it, because it was just a place where I felt connection really deeply, where I was lacking that in my personal life. So for me, I fell into this opportunity to sell, figured out that I was good at it, but it really became something much more greater for me was time went on and I matured into a younger woman vs a teenager.
