Victor shares nuggets of wisdom about connecting with clients and prospects.

He also shares insight on how to approach self-improvement as a seller.

    There's a misperception that salespeople are no longer needed, says Victor: "I think salespeople are now more valuable than ever because there's so much information out there that buyers are actually confused. And it takes a great salesperson, going back to the domain expert piece, to actually help them clarify their thinking in order to make a decision."

    Victor on how we train people to slow down: "When you measure the wrong KPIs, you get the wrong results. And also, salespeople are not stupid, they know how to game the system. If you're gonna measure me on the number of calls, well I'll just call anybody. Sometimes we're focusing on the wrong things."
