Other Quotes From the Chat with Brenda Batista-Mollohan:

- “it’s about putting yourself in the customers shoes, really having that empathy, understanding where they are, what they are feeling, what it can look and feel like, also doing your research on them in particular so that you are not just saying the industry trend is blah blah blah. And that’s fine, industry trends are fine when you are doing newscasts. But when you are talking to the individual about their business or their company it’s understanding them and how the market trends are affecting them. What’s happening in their geography?”
- “You can fill your potential by how you think because you are with you and you are in your mind all of the time”
- “your mindset determines your outcome in every aspect of your life”
