Abbie O'Grady Renewals Sales Specialist | Adobe Class of 2020 |

"I am so lucky to have the education from the K-State Sales Program going into my first sales role! Just this morning, one of the account managers I am responsible for generating pipeline for, asked if I would be comfortable running a discovery call for a prospect at Facebook. Without my sales education, I would not feel nearly as confident to run this call, and I would not have the skills to be able to prove myself as a valuable member of my new team - after only two months on the job! Being a part of the program has definitely set me up for success and made me feel more confident in this new role." | ||
