Quotes:
“We've got to be generous with our time, and that's the most valuable resource that a sales rep has is their time. So deciding where and when to spend your time is probably the hardest part of the job today.”
“It's not something you can tell someone that you're honest, you have to show it.”
“CRM has to be a value add for the frontline sales rep. And for the frontline sales manager, if CRM is a task, you know, I've had places where you had to put a calendar entry to update your CRM once a week. If that's the case, then you might as well throw it away, because it's not serving the purpose.”
“The entire business is sales. And if we aren't able to deliver results, you know, with accuracy in a predictable manner, it affects the entire business. And so I always want to include those other groups into the sales process”
