Hey! I am Mahak. In 2022, I was an Assistant Professor pursuing a PhD in Finance. That was the "big career." If you told me then I’d end up in Sales, I would’ve lectured you for an hour on why I was meant for a classroom, not a CRM. I was playing it safe in academia, convinced I’d reached the pinnacle.
Then I joined Fresh Prints in December 2022. It was a total U-turn.
I went from "Professor Mahak" to a Junior ISA. On paper, it looked like a massive step backward. A total entry-level grind after years of academic prestige. My ego took a hit. I was starting from scratch in a field that used to terrify me.
But Day 1 was a reality check. I saw 21-year-olds demolishing their goals with a level of fire I’d never seen in a lecture hall. I realized my degrees didn't matter as much as my drive.
Core Memory: The Sunday Morning Email: A few weeks in, I got a team-wide email from Jacob (our Co-Founder) titled “How to establish a great first connection.” I opened it and froze. He used an email I had sent to a client as the perfect example of what not to do. :’)
It was a tough pill to swallow. I was devastated, but also shocked. I had no idea the leadership was watching so closely or cared that much about an entry-level associate's growth. I didn't quit; I reflected. Jacob kept working with me because he saw me actually listening. Exactly one month later, Jacob shared a new example of perfect client communication with the team. This time, it was me. I traded the lecture notes for a headset and stepped into the limelight.
Seven months in? Promoted to Level I. A year later, my boss, Dylan, asked the ultimate question: “Do you want to grow as a solo contributor, or do you want to lead?” Most people would’ve asked for a manual or a training week. I just felt electric. I’d led clubs in college and always had that "Commander" energy; I just never knew a corporate job would actually let me unleash it.
I didn’t just swim; I built a fleet. Within 10 months, I was promoted to Inside Sales Manager.
Today, my "PhD" stands for Powerhouse Development (haha, jk!). My day-to-day isn't just management; it’s about architecting the success of my team. I work directly with my ISAs to dismantle their targets, build closing strategies, and turn Junior ISAs into Key Account Managers who scale business through high-value referrals.
Fresh Prints is a high-speed experiment in autonomy. I went from teaching theory to driving real-world impact, and I haven't looked back since.
If you have the energy to build, experiment, and own outcomes, I’d love to hear from you.
