QUOTES

Scott on taking a break from work every once in a while: "Get up from the laptop and let your mind think. Otherwise, it's all just consumption and reactionary which is not a really great way to build a business, to react constantly. You have to create new thoughts."

Scott on celebrating your wins: "People talk about the challenges of sales and it's a grind, so you have to have the reward. The financial is one part, but honestly, calling it a win especially when you beat competitors and help a customer — that's really one of the big drivers."

Scott's tips for people wanting to climb the corporate ladder: "Try to spend some time outside of just the role you're in. Because then it gets very easy to get caught up in the pressure of the role and just do that all day long."
