We had a great visit with Willms and Associates and the students walked away with some simple but important reminders. Selling is not always about getting someone to buy right away. It is about planting the seed and building real connections.

They talked a lot about focusing your time on people who are interested, staying consistent, and building relationships that last. Those conversations will pay off over time.

This visit was a great way to get ready for our upcoming student tradeshow and practice talking through their businesses with confidence.
