Basile had worked for AssetWorks for 24-plus years. “I am living proof that if you know your product and believe in your product, along with all the people that are involved in bringing this or any product to fruition, you can be successful in sales or for that matter in any career,” said Basile in a LinkedIn post. “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. I loved what I did and even more loved the knowledge I gained along the way. I never looked at any of our clients as customers - they were and still are my friends.”
