Candice D'Angelo
The Growing Pains Podcast
11/02/22 • 47 min
Candice went from doors being slammed in her face, being told ‘no’ repeatedly, and almost getting fired on multiple occasions...
To winning MAJOR multi-million dollar accounts, becoming sales rep of the month for multiple months, and the go-to sales rep for training newly hired sales reps how to hit the ground running in becoming an expert too!
There is much emphasis on giving a quick win and an instant gain, but that’s not a long-lasting, sustainable solution — especially when it comes to sales.
Candice gives business owners real, tangible results from repeated proven techniques that are transferable to any industry.
