Corporate Natalie comes crawling back to the Beyond Quota studio for a conversation about her experience making S.A.D. (Sales Are Dope) and what it was like living in a house with Corp, Raj, and Ben for a month of filming in LA.

Sara Kamine (Mickey) and Dylan Flynn (Travis) join Ross & Ben for another Sales Are Dope-themed episode of the Beyond Quota podcast.

Sara and Dylan discuss how they first became involved in the project and breakdown the similarities between the life of an actor and the life of a salesperson. "If you're not being rejected, you're not doing anything," wisely states Kamine. We think salespeople can relate.
