How Morgan shifted his mindset in sales When Morgan started in sales, he almost gave up because he thought things were not working out for him. When he told his boss about his idea to quit, the boss asked him to take 30 days and give 100% to his job; if it didn’t work, he would be allowed to leave. His story inevitably changed when he gave his career 100% for 30 days, and things began working for him. It’s been a progressive journey for Morgan ever since. He’s now started a YouTube channel to document his sales journey in order to help other reps, earning him a promotion.
