To kick us off on our road trip around the sales process we think it makes sense to start by focusing on where all business begins and ends; the customer. With that as our starting point, our first workshop offers a step-by-step guide to crafting the ideal customer profile. The magic lies in its customizability, and if applied correctly should guarantee results in relatively short time scales
Best of all it's completely FREE so please feel free to share!
This workshop is intended to be useful to as many different types of industries as possible if there's any steps you feel aren't relevant to your job simply skip them and move on to the next.

Episode 10 finds Jeroen and I speaking with Jan Ullman of Citrix specifically about which types of sales activities and tools are the most useful today in the world of tech sales. Join us as we cover everything from the modern day novelty of cold calling, the merging of sales and marketing technologies and the hottest topic of the moment Chat AI. Jeroen and I had the pleasure of working with Jan back at PTC and since then he has gone to not only further his own skills in inside sales but now leads his own team as Director of Renewals at Citrix.
With only a couple of episodes to go on #StoriesWorthSharing once again we wanted to thank everyone for their enormous support and input on everything that has been covered.

CALLING ALL SALES HEROES! Episode 9 of the SalesHERO Podcast finds us continuing with our #StoriesWorthSharing series where we are delighted to welcome back on to the show Jefferson Lebourg of Twilio and of course a salesleader who needs no introduction, the mighty Jeroen Buijs! This time we take a deep dive on the elusive yet essential art that is pitching to clients and progressing the deal. From setting agendas that deliver results to knowing what to do when someone on the client side throws a curveball during a pitch. In a post pandemic world of heightened competition and uncertain economic times ahead, the need to maximise every client contact and stand out from the crowd has never been greater. Coupled with increased budget scrutiny, privacy /security concerns and economic buyers evolving into multilayered committees it's no surprise closing deals today depends on successfully managing a series of unpredictable meetings. If any of the above is something you run into then Episode 9 is a must-listen!
A big thank you to Jefferson and Jeroen for taking part in this episode, looking forward to recording in person as soon as possible! -

Hearing that any of this actually resonates with our audience means a lot! Keep the comments coming and if you've got any queries or suggestions let us know via the blog or feel free to message us all directly here on LinkedIn.

As we reach the halfway point in our Stories Worth Sharing Podcast Series I am joined again by Jeroen Buijs and this time we recap briefly on the topics we've covered in the first 5 episodes. Responding to listener demand, our recap focuses on the main differences of the topics we've covered so far when comparing selling in the US to selling in Europe. Many of the sales basics remain the same wherever you go but there are important cultural differences to be taken into account when hiring new salespeople or targeting new customers in the EMEA region. Whether its the university you went to or what is and isn't appropriate to discuss with customers to how you interact with your colleagues both in and out of the office. Stay tuned for our next episode where we will be taking a closer look at Key Account Management and will be joined by Marcus San Pedro of Google. Please send us your comments and share with anyone you think might be interested in the topics we cover.

This week, in EPISODE FIVE of our Stories Worth Sharing series, Jeroen and I continue where we left things in the last episode about Targeting and Segmenting customers to cover one of the most essential parts of sales; QUALIFICATION.

For the fourth episode of our Stories Worth Sharing series we once again welcome back Jeroen Buijs to help us continue our road trip around the sales process. Moving on from topics like interviewing, onboarding and sales basics the next stop on our journey is typically the first thing a new hire or a newly promoted sales professional has to think about; TARGETING. Jeroen and I talk about targeting in today's super connected world where the information available can sometimes be daunting and segmentation and positioning is essential. We also discuss targeting in a startup environment and briefly touch on the role marketing plays in deciding who you target and how you position your offering to that audience.
Stay tuned for episode 5 where we will talk about the next step in the sales process jumping from targeting to the most important aspect of sales - QUALIFICATION The aim of SalesHERO is to try and bridge the gap between the IDEAL and REAL and we hope these episodes offer everyone in sales something they can put into practice immediately. Enjoy, please share and if you like what you hear please leave us a review on your podcast platform of choice. SalesHERO 2022 -
