What are the requirements for someone to hold a position as VP of Marketing?
First and foremost, you don’t sleep. No sleeping allowed. Second, you’ve got to be able to communicate with people and speak their language. I’ve got to be able to hang out with a street cat, but I’ve also got to be able to talk to the President of Reebok. The third thing is follow-through. The last thing you want to do is let an opportunity slide through the cracks. You need to have great energy, communication, and perfect follow-through. Return every call, because you never know what it could lead to. Treat people at the bottom the same as those on top. Be respectful of everyone’s position. Enjoy what you do. Play your role. Wake up every morning willing to learn. If you follow those simple rules, it’ll guarantee you success and satisfaction.
