QUOTES

04:34 "The most important lesson that I've learned and what really helped me create that team bond was actually me as a manager being very vulnerable and transparent with my teammates."

09:30 "We have regular one-on-one's, I think that's the crucial part when you're managing a team remotely. Not to only talk about work, but how they're satisfied with their own role ... how they're feeling if they're feeling overworked, overworked, etc., I think that's the crucial part."

11:20 "Communication is key, right? And holding a space where people are comfortable to not just tell you about their pipeline but what's going on in their personal life as well. And I think that is something that a lot of sales leaders lack today, unfortunately."

16:15 "The reality is if you can't trust your team to do their job by doing something bold like that when your team needs it, then you really need to question your own leadership skills."

22:35 "The way that we really grew was that no matter what we were always focused on the customer. We were never focused on our metrics, on our revenue ... But everything we've done was with a mission of how we can help them succeed because if our customers succeed, they're gonna be helping us succeed as well."
