Ian Barker 👨‍🍳's Linkedin Analytics

Even as a serial sales rep throughout school, I never considered a career in sales as a viable option. I had resigned myself to the reality that teaching was my calling and that sales was just a means to pay the rent until I graduated. That all changed when I attended a dinner my brother was hosting for his closest friends. The topic of what I planned to do came up and there was an overwhelming amount of support to seriously consider the field of sales. That night, without a business degree, I worked up the courage to apply to some of the perceived best sales organizations we had discussed. To my surprise, companies began to reach out and I haven't looked back since. Now, I am here to help others, in a similar position find their calling. Working in the trenches, leading teams, or advising companies on their growth objectives. I'm excited to give back and help those who may look to forge a similar path.
