Edan Gottlib (VP of Sales at Cloudinary) joined Scott Britton and Andrei Newman on the Business Is Human podcast.
Here are some key takeaways from the conversation:
- You have to properly incentivize salespeople to sell a new product, otherwise, they will choose the path of least resistance (selling your old products).
- Great salespeople are people first.
- A large part of the deal is helping your champion acquire your solution (guiding them through a software purchase).
- Salespeople avoid asking certain questions because they are afraid of the response.
- Crises expose your strengths and weaknesses in a way that makes acting on them simpler.
