“I have worked with Ben under the banner of two different brands and each experience underscores his high capabilities as a teammate. My most recent experience was with SOG Knives, into which I recruited Ben to be the most senior member of my team. Working together, Ben and I methodically implemented the sales channel strategy which proved to be a vital element of our overall effort of pivoting the SOG brand to a higher premium spot in the market. Ben’s coolness under fire and his methodical focus on solving our channel and pricing challenges while adroitly seizing unforeseen opportunities was a big reason why SOG was successful in our overall brand pivot. Ben is a seasoned sales professional, a very effective manager of others and he also brings acute and insightful observations to bear on strategic concerns. Ben understands the dynamics of the shifting landscapes of wholesale/retail and is highly capable of balancing the needs of customers with the needs of the brand with win-win solutions. I would unequivocally work with Ben again.”

All of the listed options are solid, but reaching out to your network is incredibly valuable and can lead to an undiscovered opportunity. As others have said, make this a daily or weekly practice. Additionally, possessing a learning mindset is beneficial. As Coach Lasso says, be curious.
