Even companies that are competing in the same industry come together to help the community. This allows different types and qualities of leadership personalities to come together and work on a common goal. Through these experiences, people learn and grow. Not only but it also can strengthen individuals and companies from these experiences.Kirby asked Paul about what qualities he sees in successful salespeople.
