NATIONAL SALESPERSON DAY, December 11th
What makes a ‘good’ salesperson? Is it dedication? Empathy? The ability to listen or build rapport? The cognitive ability to ‘rinse and repeat’ refining their process… could it really be hard work?
Today is National Salesperson Day, and we are taking this opportunity to spotlight a steadfast staple in the Broadway organization. An industry professional with a positive attitude and an unforgettable sense of humor – Daryl McDonnell has been an integral member of the Broadway service team for 28 years.
In our eyes, Daryl is not only a ‘good salesperson’… but a GREAT team member. The Broadway team shared why.

“Stalwart of our business because of his integrity, humility and respect for clients and colleagues alike. A true professional in every regard.” – Greg
“One of the most important things Daryl has taught me is that no problem exists that we can’t find a solution for. Daryl’s leadership and understanding qualities are truly inspiring.” – Justin
“I met Daryl 28 years ago when he first started at Broadway. Back then, I was a bit worried that he was ‘too nice’, and wouldn’t last long in the industry – but here he is still going strong. He has a unique, dry sense of humor – many times, I have heard him quietly dispatch many a killer line. Above all, Daryl is trustworthy, dedicated, hardworking, and after 28 years, he is still ‘nice’.” – Alison

It’s been a privilege having worked with him for 22 years. He is the Luke Skywalker of the Broadway Saga – essential to our storyline & the definition of a true gentlemen.” – Doris
“Daryl has taught me commitment and to never compare myself to others. He has been a great mentor and friend to me over the last 25 years!!!” – Kathy
