196: From Teaching to B2B Sales, Samantha Craig, Senior Sales Manager, Semrush
Samantha Craig wanted to be a teacher. She got through school but then had a hard time finding a job. She knew she loved to travel so she wondered if she could travel somewhere and teach. Sam ended up teaching for a year in South Korea. She came back to her home state of Massachusetts and realized she wanted to teach somewhere else so set off for Washington, DC. At some point Sam considered a job "until she got her teaching job" in an office. But not just any office. Sam said that if she had to work in an office, it should be an amazing one. She was interviewed in an amazing office and the hiring manager saw something in Sam for a sales role. This changed her life. Shoutout to Sarah Carcone! Listen as Samantha talks about her rise into leadership and what it takes to be successful.
