I Called Until They Let Me In—How I Got Into A Top Sales Program part 3

After slamming the anatomy book shut and telling his mom he was switching majors, Obi spent the summer working two jobs simultaneously — Enterprise Rent-A-Car by day, Cole Haan retail by night. Standing in that mall watching the clock, he knew he was paying his dues. His target: get into one of the top university sales programs in the country. One problem — the application window was already closed. This episode covers the phone call that taught him his first real sales lesson without him even realizing it, how he learned to get past a gatekeeper before he knew what a gatekeeper was, and how he earned his spot in a program with a 70-80% placement rate into top sales organizations. The internship story — and the first cold call — comes next.
