In episode 8 of Sales Enabled, Dan is speaking with his good friend Rober Ruiz. Rober has held Vice-President roles at Groupon and WeWork, C Suite roles at Groupon (Spain) and at Taster, and in this conversation we get into a topic that both of us hold close at heart which is Sales Culture.
In this conversation, Rober and Dan discuss what makes a good Sales Culture, discussing how to find the balance between a high-performance machine and creating an environment for people to succeed and grow with a sense of security. With many companies who recently focused on blitzscaling and hyper-growth finding themselves rightsizing, many salespeople are looking for companies that are focused on sustainable growth, and that is associated with a strong sales culture.
Specifically, in this episode, some of the talking points include:
- What should salespeople look for in a company’s sales culture, and what questions to ask to decide if it is a good fit for them
- What can a sales leader do to create a strong sales culture (and how does this compare to ChatGPT’s list of 10 recommended activities)
- Why Rober loves Gifs and donuts
- What role does training and enablement play in sales culture, and how leadership and enablement should be working together
This is a must listen for sales leaders who are responsible for setting the culture at their company, especially if they are looking to attract and retain talent given the changing economy.
