🚀Another fantastic Movac Sales Jam yesterday, expertly hosted by Movac Operating Partner Serge van Dam! 🚀 We welcomed 180 Sales & Growth leaders who gathered for invaluable insights from an impressive lineup of speakers. Here are some key takeaways: 🌟 Byron Powell, Chief Revenue Officer at Parkable: 🎯 Utilise Sales Sprints (and AI) to efficiently evaluate the top of funnel when entering new markets. 🎯 Proactively develop strong salespeople to ensure your team can quickly fill vacancies without impacting sales momentum. 🌟 Nicole Brooky, Vice President of Sales at Sign In Solutions: 🎯 Highlighted the critical need to foster autonomy and self-service capabilities when effectively managing a remote sales team. 🎯 Send meeting agendas in advance to maximise the productivity of individuals working across different time zones by enabling them to prepare during their most effective hours. ⏰ 🌟 Ana Wight, Chief Strategy Officer at Lightspeed Commerce: 🎯 Take a very deliberate approach if deciding to move up-market. Be willing to decline large upmarket clients requesting custom features. 🎯 Sales Leaders can emerge from diverse professional backgrounds. One of Ana’s most successful Sales promotions was an internal candidate with a strong strategy and finance background, whose analytical approach and fresh perspective proved more effective than someone with traditional functional sales expertise.💡 🌟 Hanie Y., Chief Commercial Officer at Alimetry: 🎯 Healthcare moves at the speed of trust. This means it is crucial to hire salespeople who are adept at building strong and lasting customer relationships. 🎯 Identify and involve the right individuals early in the sales process, even before a formal sale is made. 🌟 Rob Borland, Director of Sales at Zendesk: 🎯 When leading US Sales teams, ensure clear expectations, explicit communication, and clear assignment of ownership and accountability. 🎯 Advised striking the right balance between accountability and empathy, cautioning against being overly lenient. High-performing team members will readily notice inconsistencies in expectations across the team. 🌟 Gal Thompson, VP of Expansion at Re-Leased, former CEO of Secured Signing: 🎯 It is critical for sales representatives to engage with customers in person to gain a deeper understanding of what they truly care about. 🎯Identifying a vertical where your product can be the leading solution can be crucial for success. 👏A huge thank you to all our wonderful speakers and to our co-sponsor Apprento!👏 Jason Graham, Millie McKelvie, Byron van Vugt, Belinda Yeo, Xander Beard, Mark Vivian, Mark Stuart, David Beard, Fi Foster, Sabrine van Rossum, Nathan Bell, Selena Chhit
