00:00:05.867 --> 00:00:07.233
My name is Echo Johnson.

2
00:00:07.233 --> 00:00:10.367
I am part of the people team,
specifically with community and engagement

3
00:00:14.533 --> 00:00:17.533
I joined Progressive Leasing in 2019.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.367
I was actually suggested to come here
by one of my greatest friends.

5
00:00:21.467 --> 00:00:22.600
So I took the leap.

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.700
I originally started in ops
and customer service.

7
00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:29.100
I made sure to tell my leadership
that I was interested

8
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:30.834
in some other opportunities.

9
00:00:30.834 --> 00:00:32.867
They definitely led me through the way
to make sure

10
00:00:32.867 --> 00:00:35.600
that I had all those opportunities
to get to my goals.

11
00:00:36.367 --> 00:00:39.400
So I started in the customer
service, helped out with merchant support.

12
00:00:39.767 --> 00:00:42.400
Then I went on into sales And now I'm

13
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:45.166
in my dream job working with the community
and engagement team.

14
00:00:45.433 --> 00:00:48.400
My leaders noticed that
I love giving back to the community,

15
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:52.100
and they made sure that I knew about
all the options that were available Making

16
00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:55.300
sure that I knew that there is volunteer
options, that there is mentoring options.

17
00:00:55.567 --> 00:00:57.100
And that really helped me succeed.

18
00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.000
On moving towards
getting into the sales department.

19
00:01:00.166 --> 00:01:03.600
My biggest advice for moving onward
and upward here at Progressive Leasing

20
00:01:03.834 --> 00:01:06.600
is to make sure that you let
your leadership and everyone else

21
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.700
know that you are interested in some goals

22
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:13.066
or things that you like to do
professionally and personally.

23
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:17.500
Don't let them just sit inside of you,
not tell anyone because the progressive

24
00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.100
leasing family does care about you
and about what your goals are.

25
00:01:21.433 --> 00:01:23.900
So the sooner that you can tell people
about that, the sooner

26
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.000
that they're going to
help you get to your goals.
