How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I think the people who thrive are the ones who are not afraid of rejection. When you're in a job that requires you to talk with a lot of people, you're going to face rejection.
Out of a hundred people you ask, maybe 99 will reject you, and only one will say yes. So, it's very important to have a great perspective on what you're doing and also be open to rejection.
