For Vitaly, selling isn’t about waiting behind a desk. It’s about connection, presence, and proactive engagement from the very first hello.

“I introduce myself, make them smile, talk to their kids, and make them feel comfortable. That’s how trust is built — not by pushing a deal, but by showing up for people.”

This is what real sales leadership looks like — relationships first, results next.
