Juliana Vida: You Sell More When You Think As The Customer
#JulianaVida is Chief Technical Advisor to #Splunk's #PublicSector sales team. 27 years in the US Navy, combat pilot, deputy CIO to the US Navy, 3 years at Gartner advising governments, and special advisor to Washington Cyber Roundtable, Juliana is the voice of the customer for sales. She's not technical by background and spends much of her time reminding salespeople that their buyers are human beings! She reminds them that to have an executive level conversation you have to invest time on the human level of discovery if you want to avoid being sent to Siberia, stuck in the IT department.
We have a very robust conversation about why buyers really buy and what salespeople do to prevent them from buying. Juliana is an advocate of thinking AS THE CUSTOMER instead of about the customer - if you think about the customer you are making assumptions and those assumptions are probably wrong. We discuss what managers need to do to recruit diverse teams who have breadth and perspective that transcends sales and engineering. Look outside for people who come with different experiences, who think differently, who ask questions your specialists would never think of. We discuss training managers and salespeople, the value of constructive conflict, the need for planning, rehearsal to get ahead of any problems that might occur in the sale.
Splunk has created a fun, creative, innovative culture in a mature business to drive the constant feeling that everyone has to be very creative, embrace different opinions, stand up for what they believe to best serve the customer, to offer a better solution. We explore how to identify top talent by how they present their personal brand on platforms like LinkedIn.
The best vendors make their customer the hero, help them become wildly successful. Juliana explains why salespeople must build relationships that matter, why they must act as if they have no fear, and the negative effects of ego.
A genuinely insightful conversation about #sales and #selling, #salesmanagement, #salesleadership.
