Most accountants run from sales - Vanessa ran toward it.

After 9 years behind the books, she pivoted into a full-time sales role and never looked back. In this episode, we unpack her journey from accountant to closer - and the mindset shifts that made it possible.

We get into:
– How to make a career leap without starting over
– Why mindset > tactics in outbound sales
– What to do when the leads don’t say yes
– How to stay sharp, take feedback, and actually enjoy the game

Whether you’re scaling your firm, shifting roles, or just want to get better at closing—this one’s a must-listen.
