Account Executive Niya Brown helps small businesses find their balance and says the secret to her success has been finding her own magic.
What is your current job?
I am an Account Executive for AnswerConnect.
What do you love about it?
My current role allows me to interact with a wide variety of people and industries. I listen to their business struggles and then offer solutions that will solve their problems. Helping someone who is overwhelmed and unable to have work-life balance is very rewarding! The solution I am able to offer has been truly life-changing for some of my clients.
What is challenging about it?
As a salesperson, most days are filled with rejections and unanswered phone calls. I leave more voicemails than you can believe! If I take it personally, those NO’s will keep me from continuing on to finally hearing a yes — so staying positive and knowing that a “no” is really just a “not yet” helps.
I remind myself that my clients are crazy-busy — which is why they need the services I can offer them. Reaching voicemail doesn’t necessarily mean they do not want to talk to me — in fact, I see it as more of a cry for my help.
