Frank Rocks' Tools of the Trade

Sales rep Frank Rocks shares with us his essentials to keep moving at work and beyond.

Trusty Running Shoes

This might sound strange, but my running shoes are a tool I’m never without. I have put my body through a lot over the years, from skiing (and falling), to marathon training, to Crossfit—I definitely have some wear and tear. On top of that, I was hospitalized last year with a blood clot and sitting for long periods typically leaves me in pain, so I walk often. I’ll typically start my day with a five mile walk early in the morning. I’ve become incredibly efficient at email-walking as well. This daily movement gets the blood flowing and I wouldn’t be able to do it without my Sauconys.

My Records

Time moves faster when you listen to records. So when daily tasks start to feel repetitive, and I need a jump, I’ll throw on some vinyl. Having to actually get up and flip sides proves that we are in fact moving forward, compared to streaming, where space and time are endless.

Local Coffee House

The smoothest coffee in all the land is right in my neighborhood at Espresso A Mano. I am a regular here and like to work from the shop when it’s not so hot out.

Business Development Tool

Apollo.ai is a great tool for those in business dev. It helps prospect new leads, send messages, and manage daily tasks. I have fully embraced the world of AI and appreciate Apollo’s time-saving features.
