"It's only really a failure if you don't take the tuition value out of that failure, and that's what I say to sales people. That's what I say to anyone who asks for career advice. If you're not trying hard enough you're probably not failing. If you are trying really hard, you're probably not going to be successful all of the time, but if you take the tuition value out these failures, that's what creates great employees and great people." - Rob Auld, VP of Worldwide Sales, SOTI
