Of all the definitions mentioned above, the first one is my favorite. Figuratively, it captures the solid definition of being a performer in sales.
**I honestly lost track of my train of thought about this post. I have already forgotten about this draft. But for some reason, there's a pull of heart string whenever I read the title. And I guess all I can say is I can totally relate with the first definition.

I hope things will be okay soon.
