You’ll be hard pressed to find a more energetic and experienced sales expert than our special guest, Maria Boulden! Maria Boulden has spent over 3 decades creating and leading world-class sales teams at leading enterprise organizations like DuPont and Gartner. She brings her incredible experience in multiple verticals and truly unstoppable energy to one of the best conversations yet with co-hosts Matt Amundson and Craig Rosenberg. Maria drops some serious insight bombs in this one, including why steak dinners aren’t the deal closer that they once were, why top execs need to get down to the frontlines to talk with employees, and why ‘not broken’ is not good enough for your company to succeed. Additionally, there is some great advice in here about effectively leading change management efforts in your organization, why building personal relationships in SaaS has become so important for B2B sellers, and why you shouldn’t hold a deal signing at a Japanese gentleman’s club. Fueled by an ungodly amount of Coke Zero, Maria really brought it this episode and delivered some incredible stories, which make this a must-watch!
