Collin Cadmus Podcast The Power of Negotiation w/ Lee Rozins, CRO at Aligned
Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Lee Rozins.
Lee graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey and then started his career in Account Management and Business Development for a year and 6 months before starting his journey at SinglePlatform, where we met and worked together, and where Lee climbed the ranks from full cycle AE to Senior Sales Manager over a 4 year and 10 month tenure.
After SinglePlatform Lee moved into his first VP of Sales role at Cheetah for 3 years, followed by Head of Growth at Onaroll for another 3 years, until landing his most recent and current position as Co-founder and CRO at Aligned, where their vision is to change the way the world negotiates.
Lee was one of the most positive and energetic people on the sales floor at SinglePlatform and we sat directly next to each other for a long stretch of our careers on the phones. We shared many laughs, moments of frustration, and helped each other continuously push to the next level.
Needless to say, we have a long history together so I’m excited to catch up and get his thoughts on all that’s changing in B2B sales and find out how he’s helping sellers negotiate at Aligned.
