“In our new hire training session, we were learning about WYWYN and prospecting – and I knew all the answers! I can’t thank you enough for genuinely preparing all of us this much for our jobs. I’m actually excited to live in the sales role! The AEs were shocked that I took the CPSP course and Students Who Mule is an actual class!”
