**The Value of Being Part of a Team:
My Personal Journey from Little League to SalesStar**
From Little League baseball to high school football, and from my time as a Plank Owner on the USS Comstock (LSD 45) to my current role at SalesStar, being part of a team has shaped who I am.
In Little League, I was placed in the outfield so stronger players could cover for me. In high school, I was a starter on both offense and defense, where my strengths helped propel the team. But it was in the Navy, on the USS Comstock, that I truly understood the power of teamwork. Our ship's motto, "Teamwork, Drive, Courage," wasn't just words—it was a way of life. We worked as a cohesive unit, with complete belief in each other's abilities, our team's capabilities, and our overarching mission.
I've also experienced the other side of the coin in business teams plagued by dysfunction, where members were only interested in themselves, and competing objectives led to minimal success. I thought my Navy experience was the pinnacle of teamwork until I joined SalesStar.
SalesStar rivals my Navy experience and could share the USS Comstock motto of "Teamwork, Drive, Courage." Our core values include:
👉 **Better Never Stops**: Every day, we choose a growth mindset, learning from yesterday and striving to be better today.
👉 **Be a Product of the Product**: We live and breathe what we teach, being avid learners and walking the talk.
👉 **Team First**: We support each other, collaborate, and pay it forward, knowing that our clients benefit when we work together.
👉 **Creating Raving Fans**: We under-promise and over-deliver, aiming to be remarkable and going above and beyond.
👉 **Do it for the Right Reasons**: We have the integrity to do what's right for our clients and the SalesStar family, owning an abundance mindset and putting our clients' needs first.
At SalesStar, we get to help customers grow their sales by growing their people. We help people achieve their goals, families take vacations, and put their children through college. We help people buy their first homes, invest in their retirements, give back to their communities, and have peace of mind and quality of life.
Being part of a truly cohesive team is invaluable. How have your team experiences shaped you? Drop a comment, share your story, and let’s inspire each other!
