Episode notes

Sally Kohn: Stumbled in the sales, didn't want to do it. Thought it was like, you know, all the bad things, right? Super slimy, super high pressure, like manipulative con artist. Once I figured out that sales wasn't evil, if it was actually about helping people, it was going to be my lifelong profession. So we talked a little bit before the show about how marketing should embrace the sales lead approach and then how also sales should have that deep affection about marketing. What does it mean for marketing to embrace the sales that approach? Yeah.

As the founder of Sales Team Builder LLC., Leslie Venetz spends her time helping commercial teams build repeatable processes and winning playbooks that produce revenue.

She chats with Daniel about the things that encourage marketing success, like ensuring consistency in messaging, reassuring prospects that sales and marketing have their best interests at heart, and avoiding overly flowery language in sales copy.

Plus, if you aren’t using cold-calling as a channel, find out why Leslie thinks you may not have what it takes to win in a sales environment.
