Hiring B2B sales reps? Why nontraditional backgrounds are a secret weapon for top talent -- with Lindsey Boggs

Music major? Waiter? Hotel clerk? They might not sound like typical stepping stones to a successful sales career—but they absolutely can be. While some reps follow the traditional path (business degree → SDR → AE), there’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint for thriving in sales. In fact, some of the best sales pros come from the most unexpected backgrounds. In this episode of Closing Time, meet Lindsey Boggs—go-to-market advisor and former opera major—who turned stage presence into sales excellence. She shares how nontraditional experience can translate into sales success, and what sales leaders should look for when hiring B2B sales reps from unconventional backgrounds.
