Q: What is a typical day for a Marketing Representative?

Q: What advice would you give someone who wanted to become a marketing Representative?

Shanice: I would say be open to learning, be dedicated, consistent, and confident. Know when to pursue and when to plant the seed and walk away. If they need you, they’ll seek you out. Have patience.
