About Robert King
I am often asked \"WHY PAYCHEX?\" The answer has remained the same in all of my roles: I LOVE the people I work with, I am in CONTROL of my paycheck, I get to spend time with my FAMILY and I get to make an IMPACT on our clients as well as the people on my team. These four aspects of my role are so important to me and the people on my team.I generally ask anyone looking to join my team to rank in order of importance: Recognition, Making an Impact, and Money. There is no wrong answer because you can have all three!4 years ago when I joined Paychex I set a goal of owning my first home by the time I had my first anniversary - I was able to do that within 6 months. I have watched members of my team buy their first homes, go on vacations they had only ever dreamed of, and build the life they had set out to build. Nothing has made me more proud at Paychex than watching my team reach their GOALS!We all know, nothing worth having comes easy. BIG GOALS require BIG COMMITMENT! Being on my team means committing to setting the bar higher than you ever thought you would and being accountable each day to pushing closer and closer to that goal!If this speaks to you please connect with me. I am always looking to meet with Sales Leaders and Sales Representatives looking for their next career.
