What Happens When You’re Not Afraid to Ask
Erin Peirson
Employee and Corporate Communications Manager
Sometimes the best way to grow is to ask the question you’re worried might sound “stupid.” Curiosity has played a big role in Lau’s journey, from learning the technology behind our products to growing from a Business Development Representative into an Account Executive. But what helped him along the way was his willingness to ask questions and his openness to learning. Lau realized early on that Apryse is a place where you don’t need to pretend to have all the answers. You just need to be willing to learn.
Why Apryse
Honestly? The people I met during the interviews. Everyone was relaxed, curious and easy to talk to, and it felt more like a conversation than a test. I left thinking “I’d actually enjoy working with these people”.
Favorite Core Value
Strength in Our Differences. On any given day, I’m talking to people from completely different cultures, and I think that’s exactly what makes it work.
Thinking About Apryse?
Be yourself and don’t be afraid to ask “stupid” questions. I asked plenty when I started, and every single time someone took the time to explain. People here genuinely want you to succeed.
We work hard, but nobody takes themselves too seriously. I somehow ended up as a referee in our internal World Cup Challenge, which says a lot about the vibe here.
Favorite Thing About Apryse
Two things. The first is the moment a deal comes together, when a customer tells you “This is exactly what we need.” after weeks of working on it together. The second is my team. We celebrate the wins together, laugh through the tough days, and always have each other’s backs. Closing a deal is great but sharing it with people like that is even better.
Personal Growth
I started at Apryse as a Business Development Representative, booking meetings for the sales team, and today I’m an Account Executive running my own territory. That journey taught me a lot, from handling tough conversations to understanding the technology behind our products. Apryse gave me the chance to grow, and the people around me helped me get there.
Professional Support
I’m part of a small team, and we really have each other’s backs. My manager is always there when I need a second opinion, and there’s a lot of space to try new things. It never feels like you’re on your own.
If there’s one lesson from Lau’s journey, it’s that curiosity pays off. Growth doesn’t come from already knowing everything. It comes from being willing to learn and having people around you who are happy to help along the way. Looking to join Apryse? Explore our open opportunities.
