I'm thrilled to share my experience working with Southwestern Advantage back in 2000. I had never sold anything in my life. I never saw myself as a salesman, yet I finished in the top 1% of 2,000 first-year salespeople in the company. Regardless of my initial confidence, or lack of skills - it was actually more about my drive, and habits that made me stand out.

I can certainly say that everything I learned about business, I learned while being with SWA: selling, recruiting, time management, expense, and profit focus; not even to mention the "soft" skills like communication, listening, reading people, flexibility, will-power, discipline, courage, self-motivation and so on.

I used to play competitive volleyball in high school and kind of missed the feeling of competing in university. This was one thing I really enjoyed in SWA - it is like competitive sports: there are records to break, competitors, rankings, and you can see how good you really are. But the fun part is that while competing, you also make money.
