Meet CharityRx Rep, Steve Lee

Territory: Houston, TX

Start Date: June 2023

A little about me:

Korean American with 30 + years of sales and marketing background. I am someone who is used to being “99%” in everything I do. For example, I had 99% in SAT math when I was a student. When I worked for Weichert Realtors, I was in the top 10 out of 2,000+ realtors, and with BMW, I was in the top 50 of 5,000+ sales reps. For the last few years, I have been studying Spanish on an App called “Duolingo,” and according to them, I am at 99.9%. (Sorry if it sounds like I am showing off, but it’s true.) When I do something, I do it until I am one of the best. With the slow growth rate of my donation count for the last few months, I really don’t feel I am anywhere near where I want/need to be. I told Eric once that my ultimate goal is to reach 1,000 scripts in a single day, and I will keep trying until my God tells me otherwise.

I’m in my 50s now, and I have been in sales and marketing for pretty much my entire life. In my twenties, I was already making a six-figure income as a realtor, and during my 30s, for a couple of years, I actually earned and reported a seven-figure income. Unfortunately, I mismanaged that fund, as any young, foolish man will. But I have no regrets, as I got to live like a celebrity for a couple of years.

How did you get started?

My latest employment before CharityRx was with Geico Insurance. Once again, I performed very well, becoming one of the country’s top producers, so much so that I was awarded the Geico agency ownership in Houston, Texas. Long story short, I got embezzled by my financial partner, and the Geico agency never materialized. I had depleted all my savings during that time, and I needed to find a job immediately. I had applied to several jobs online, and CharityRx was one of the few companies that responded immediately.

The biggest reason why I chose CharityRx was first, I can do this job probably until I’m into my ’70s, and because I’ve heard about a rep who is very successful (Michael S.), who was making well into six figures after about a year and a half employment with the company. Some might say it’s arrogance, but I like to think it’s confidence; I naturally thought that I could do even better and make well into six figures after a year or two with the company. During my first few months, my growth rate was excellent well–over 100% each month–but my last few months have been anything but. However, I’m still grateful for this opportunity, and I strongly believe that it was God who led me to this job.

Roadblock:

Honestly, I don’t think I am successful yet.

Solution:

Always think positively and believe in the outcome in the long run.

“Little strokes fell great oaks.”
