Olivia Van Wormer, Reid Anderson, and Luke Ruffing were some of the first Praxis hires at PandaDoc (one of our largest BPs). All three have grown and excelled in their individual roles on the PandaDoc sales team — crushing their numbers, setting themselves up for promotions, and creating growth opportunities within the company.
We talked about:
- What it takes to succeed in a SaaS sales role
- Some of the biggest lessons they’ve learned along the way (on crushing it in sales)
