Q & A with Mike Shaffer:
What Do You Enjoy Doing When You Are Not Working?
Either playing video games (PC, Xbox, or Switch), reading daily, binge-watching TV, or driving to the beach with my Jeep every weekend, when the weather allows me to.
What’s The Best Piece Of Sales Advice You’ve Heard Recently?
Be sure to understand and match tonality during a sales conversation. I have found this to be major in my experience with sales.
Are You An Early Bird Or Night Owl?
Night owl for sure. The gaming community keeps me up pretty late from time to time lol
If You Could Live Anywhere In The World For A Year For Free, Where Would You Choose?
I have never really traveled so I have a tough time answering this. I’d say as long as I could bring some people with me, I think the Maldives would be a cool spot. Either that or Italy if I had time to learn Italian.
Tell Us What Inspires You, Or Provide Your Favorite Inspirational Quote.
I always struggled with knowing what I “wanted to be when I grew up.” Countless hours of career coaching and Myers Briggs personality tests told me I was supposed to become a teacher. They were close! I eventually found I just really like to help people by showing them something they are unfamiliar with. In this case at SHP, it is being a consultant and helping people to grow their business. That has always been my dream job.
Tell Us What Motivates You To Do What You Do Here, and How You Contribute to the Customer Experience.
The idea of helping business owners grow their businesses, or helping them to find ways to run their businesses more efficiently is what motivates me. Despite never having owned a business I am very close with many business owners. The stress that comes along with running your own business is tremendous. Being able to help alleviate even just a portion of that stress is rewarding.
Working for SHP has been a blessing. I am so glad I have finally found a career that I feel the need to brag about and feel great about. I learn so much from everyone on the team daily, and words are not capable of expressing how thankful I am for that.
