Bringing clients into the Level Access family
As an enterprise team lead, Jesse Idun spends half the day with clients in his territory to help them along their respective accessibility journeys — then spends the other half mentoring account executives to do the same. “The sales culture is one of collaboration with a focus on advancement and improvement,” he said. Since learning from account managers in his first months on the job, Odun has made himself available for impromptu coaching and training sessions aimed at accessibility education and empowering future leaders on his own team. “There are always ways to pay it forward,” he said.
