What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
The most important thing I've learned in my career is to stick by your convictions. If you're helping a customer because they have a problem and your company is pushing back, but you feel they are in the right, stand by your convictions. Make sure it's done properly.
In the long run, you're building relationships with your customers. You also have to be able to sleep at night. Companies will often try to get you to push something past that you don't necessarily agree with.
It's always better to just stick with your convictions. If you don't agree with it, don't do it.
