Think of your peers like the mast of your sailboat. They keep steady while you shift your sails. They share the weight of career-based decisions or learning hiccups, keeping you upright and safe in a storm.

Guidance

Like a lighthouse, your peers can help you reorient yourself when it feels confusing. They can encourage you to reach your personal and career goals no matter how foggy or rough the waters.

Your community are your crew. A feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing those common goals can be invaluable, especially in the big bad ocean of the sales world.
