Sometimes, the difference between “I’ve been trying” and “I finally got my opportunity” starts with who’s in your corner.

For Majesty Ferguson, that was NSN.

After hearing that she couldn’t break into pharma, Majesty found a community that helped her see a path forward. She connected with sponsors, attended conference, secured five interviews with top pharmaceutical companies—and landed a job in the industry she’d been working toward.

In her words, connecting with NSN felt like hitting the jackpot.

Today, Majesty serves at both the Atlanta chapter and national levels, helping build the same community that opened doors for her.

That’s the power of getting connected. Opportunities can come into reach. Introductions can become interviews. And the people you meet can become a support system that grows with you throughout your career.

For Majesty—and so many others—NSN is more than a conference or a career opportunity. It’s a network to grow with, contribute to, and count on.

Your ambition deserves a community behind it. Explore NSN membership at the link in our bio.

“You don’t know what you don’t know.” — Donte Wilder, Emerging 100 of Atlanta

As an Emerging 100 member, Donte reflected on why workforce development experiences like this matter.

Looking back on his own journey, he shared that sales was not a career path he initially considered. It wasn’t until he gained exposure to the profession that he discovered it aligned with his strengths and offered opportunities he hadn’t previously imagined.

That experience is what makes opportunities like these so important. Exposure creates awareness, and awareness creates opportunity.

By connecting students directly with professionals, they gain insight into career paths they may have never considered and possibilities they may not have known existed. Through honest conversations and shared experiences, students can better understand how their interests, strengths, and passions may translate into a future career.

Sometimes the most impactful opportunity isn’t showing someone where to go. It’s helping them discover what’s possible.

Thank you to National Sales Network Atlanta, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and everyone who continues to invest in the next generation.

“Making sure we have connections established before we need something.”

That was one of the biggest lessons a student took away from the workforce development session.

While networking is often discussed in terms of career opportunities, this experience reinforced the importance of building genuine relationships before an opportunity ever presents itself.

Students were encouraged to connect not only with industry professionals, but also with one another, recognizing that today’s peers may become tomorrow’s colleagues, collaborators, and leaders.

The conversation also challenged students to step outside their comfort zones. For this student, that meant being more intentional about introducing himself, meeting new people, and building the relationship-building skills essential in both sales and leadership.

Most importantly, he left with a renewed commitment to showing up as the best version of himself. Because meaningful connections aren’t built through transactions. They’re built through authenticity, consistency, and a willingness to invest in people before you need anything in return.

Thank you to National Sales Network Atlanta, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and everyone who continues to create opportunities for students to connect, learn, and grow.

“I’m excited to apply those skills.”

After participating in the workforce development session, Crystal reflected on the value of hearing directly from professionals who shared practical advice on networking, recruiting, and interview preparation.

What stood out most was gaining insights she can immediately put into practice as she pursues opportunities in sales and marketing. From building meaningful professional connections to strengthening her approach to interviews, the experience provided tools that can help her navigate the next stage of her career journey with greater confidence.

As Crystal looks ahead, one thing is clear: preparation creates opportunity. The ability to learn from professionals, ask questions, and gain real-world perspective can make all the difference when students begin pursuing internships and full-time roles.

Thank you to National Sales Network Atlanta, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and everyone who helped create this opportunity for students to learn, prepare, and grow.

Professional development is more than preparing for the next opportunity. It’s developing the skills, confidence, and perspective to make the most of it when it comes.

In collaboration with the National Sales Network Atlanta (@nsnatl), we connected students with industry professionals who shared practical knowledge about navigating today’s workforce and building a foundation for long-term career growth.

Through résumé reviews, mock interviews, elevator pitch development, professional headshots, and candid conversations, students gained insight into the skills that often make the difference beyond the résumé: persistence, coachability, curiosity, problem-solving, and the ability to become a trusted partner.

The experience also brought together students from multiple universities, creating access to new perspectives, professional relationships, and career pathways that may not always be visible from the classroom.

Thank you to National Sales Network Atlanta and the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation for investing alongside us in the professional growth of the next generation.

In partnership with National Sales Network Atlanta, the Emerging 100 of Atlanta brought together professionals from across the sales industry for a candid conversation rooted in the lessons, experiences, and perspectives they’ve gained throughout their careers. Students from around the country were able to receive direct access to professionals who have walked the road before them — people willing to share what they’ve learned, demystify the journey, and model what it looks like to pay it forward.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, students engaged in workforce development programs are more than 50% more likely to secure employment within six months of graduation.

Experiences like this help make that statistic real by giving students a clearer picture of the skills, mindset, and preparation that shape strong career pathways.

Thank you to National Sales Network Atlanta, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, our panelists, and everyone who poured into our students. The knowledge shared last Saturday has the potential to become the knowledge they share with someone else tomorrow.

It was a privilege to serve as a partner for the NSN Student Sales & Marketing Conference Luncheon on September 12 in Atlanta alongside the @nsnatl , @emerging100atl and the @_blankfoundation_ .

During the luncheon I had the opportunity to share more about @missionbridge_careeradvisors and demo the #MissionReadyApp to more than 30 students from across the country, including several from my alma mater, Georgia State University (#GoPanthers).

One of the most refreshing parts of the day was seeing so many young people intentionally investing in their future. I feel blessed to have played a small role in helping these students prepare for successful careers in sales.The future is bright. 💼🚀

At the 2026 National Sales Network Professional Conference, I had the incredible honor of meeting award-winning actress, author, and entrepreneur @tarajiphenson and creating a custom portrait of her in Washington, D.C. 🎨✨

As someone I grew up watching on TV, it was surreal to not only meet her, but also hear her speak about resilience, perseverance, and pushing forward despite setbacks.

The gem that stuck with me:
“On the other side of a mountain of no’s is the yes you’re looking for.”

This portrait is a reminder that sometimes the “yes” you’re looking for is on the other side of simply refusing to quit.🙏🏽

Thank you Taraji for sharing your wisdom and inspiring so many of us to keep going, even when the journey isn’t easy.

Lastly, a huge thank you to @nsnhq for hosting an unforgettable conference filled with excellence, connection, and opportunity. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
