143: Sales Leader in a Telecom Company, Laura Colón, Vonage

Laura Colón focused on public relations in college at the
suggestion of a counselor. She learned, however, that PR does not
pay well right out of college. She went a different direction and
ended up in sales, but is grateful for the learning she got about
communication and PR which has helped her first as an individual
contributor in sales, then as a sales leader. Laura has worked on
both coasts, and is currently Regional VP, Mid-Market West for
Vonage. She is also a Mentor at #GirlsClub and recently spoke on
the main stage at the #GirlsClub "RISE UP" conference, where I
met her and realized her energy would be a great addition to the
podcast.
