Leadership Spotlight: Meet Sara

Ashley DeGroot | November 5, 2021

We interviewed Sara, our regional inside sales manager, to learn more about her Paycom journey.

What is your favorite thing about being in Inside Sales? 

It’s hard to pick just one thing. But I love to win, and in Inside Sales, we get to win a lot! It’s exciting to see reps get their first deal, double-digit week and commission check.

What advice would you give a new employee for being successful at Paycom?

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

You can be successful at Paycom, as we have the best leadership and incredible resources and we like to win! You just have to want it and you can have it!

What’s the one word you would choose to describe Paycom, and why? 

“Opportunity.” The reason I say that word is because that’s what Paycom allows — the opportunity to grow, lead, win, help and thrive in all aspects of life, personally and professionally! Paycom has blessed me with so many opportunities!

What is your greatest accomplishment at Paycom? 

This chapter in my life at Paycom is my greatest accomplishment right now. I still have a long way to go, and I’m excited about it and what’s happening for us!

What makes you proud to work at Paycom? 

The leadership that we have makes me proud. I’ve been at Paycom for 13 years and alongside forward-thinking, never-settling leaders who like to WIN! I love being a part of that!

What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of work? 

Watching my kids play sports and being their cheerleader!

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

If I could eat anything I wanted for the rest of my life and not gain weight, it would be spaghetti and garlic bread!
