Get to know Ollie Whitfield, one of our newest co-hosts. He currently works in product marketing for VanillaSoft and talks to Ashleigh about how his age has made him feel like an outsider in the sales world and why he said yes to this opportunity.
SHOW NOTESHis Sales Journey
-Ollie was never a sales rep, and at one point said that he never wanted to be in sales.
-His journey starts when he worked in marketing for CreationAgency and ended up connecting with a lot of people in sales. Being around people in sales, he began to try it as a side hustle, winning his company more clients.
-He now does product marketing for VanillaSoft.
Feeling Like an “Other” in Sales
-Age is a factor that often sets Ollie apart from his teammates. Having never attended college, he entered the workforce earlier than most. He often hears that older executives don’t have anything to learn from lower-level, younger employees.
What Is He Most Proud Of?
-Ollie and his team produced a webinar for John Barrows, and they got a record number of webinar signups.
Why Did He Join OSoS?
-It’s an opportunity to gain more experience in the podcasting world. And, he’s excited to shed light on other people in sales who deserve it.
The First Thing He’ll Do When “Normality” Resumes?
-You’ll find Ollie playing pool.
