Donny Hackett is the founder of VeriDeal.
He is launching this with a friend/partner because when he got laid off from AWS, he found his job efforts thwarted by other sales reps who had no problem lying about their accomplishments.
So he created a new SaaS platform for sales reps to verify and track their closed deals. We get into Donny's background in sales, the importance of trust and verification in the sales process, and how technology, particularly AI, is changing the landscape of sales.
I grilled Donny pretty hard about how he has developed VeriDeal and how it solves the problem he says it does.
Whether you need the app or not, you will benefit from listening to how he has balanced a growing family, his day job, and entrepreneurship.
He’s excited about the launch as am I, so let’s get this party started.
