We don’t often think of sales as a place of leadership except just many money. Today will talk with Joe Petrone about real leadership to change the world for the better and doing through sales.Interview bio/storyInternational commercial leader with a track record of transformational success over 20+ years working across various industries.My brand is focused on making my place of work simply the best place to work – and for our customers to see our organization as best- in- class in our industry.I passionately believe that people are the key to extraordinary success.Every day, I seek to create a learning and collaborative environment where new business development and key customer cultivation is innovative with a focus on advancing our customer’s vision, mission and business results. My teams’ often comment on their great learning experiences, which makes for satisfying and fulfilling jobs, attracting top talent leading to retaining our key customers.While I am in a player/coach role today and deliver extraordinary results, I find great reward in inspiring my team to contribute beyond their boundaries. I believe in unleashing the power of people - both in my organization and my customer’s organization.Anything not founded on personal and team accountability is doomed to failure, and with this ethos, I thrive for a consistency in leadership principles and values from those around me.I do best in the most challenging environments –be it economically, revitalization of a team or simply finding a way to accelerate results in the shortest and most ethical path possible. As I have mentioned to my teams, adversity will come. It is not the size of the gap that matters rather courage, determination and wise persistence to reach one’s goal.
