One of Rich Surprise’s earlier memories is standing in line, at the height of Communism, hoping there would be a loaf of bread waiting for him when his family got to the front.
After living in places like Senegal and Moscow thanks to a father who worked or the US State Department, he attended Virginia Tech, found a passion for cooking and hospitality, then pursued sales, and eventually landed a few other positions at some big-name companies.
And then COVID happened. Layoffs happened. Perspectives changed.
Rich, now the Director of Global Sales Development at Cloudbeds shares his journey, as well as changes he’s seen in sales since then, with RevOps Therapist and founder and CEO of Greaser Consulting, Jordan Greaser.
