About Dani Hecker

Hey everyone! I\'m a sales enthusiast through and through finding joy when customers get to that \"aha!\" moment. When you stop thinking about your wants and needs and focus on the person right in front of you, your aha moment will happen too- less about you more about them. Sales can be tricky or effortless, it all depends on your point of view and how you navigate each situation.\"Do not measure success by today\'s harvest. Measure success by the seeds you plant today\" Robert Louis StevensonI see time and time again the eagerness to hurry the process along, get to the actual sale and move on to the next customer. But wait a minute. did we help solve a pain point of theirs or did we just rush to give them our perceived solution assuming it would be the right tool to help solve their most pressing issue? The time you spend today to cultivate and enrich the relationship with your customer may seem small in your eyes but you\'re taking the time to truly slow down, listen and focus on your most valuable asset your customer. Whether you\'re in a direct sales role or supporting those in a sales role (my current job), you\'re in sales I\'ve had the opportunity to learn and grow with the Sherwin Williams Company over the past 11 years and still find myself learning and expanding my skill set every day (hopefully the name of the game for everyone here- growth mindset )I\'m always eager to help those around me succeed and work in the \"do what it takes\" mindset with every project I receive. I am meticulous and detail oriented and I won\'t rest until the job is done right. So, what do I do when I\'m not climbing that work mountain?
