Get to know more about Ryan Woodard, BDR Manager at Edify, as he and Ashleigh discuss his passion for electronics, his networking group Sales for the Culture, and how he’s felt like an outsider.

SHOW NOTES

His Sales Journey

-Ryan was able to transform his passion for tech into a sales career, first selling electronics, appliances, and furniture then moving to industrial equipment.

-He’s now back in the world of electronics working as the BDR Manager for the fast-paced startup, Edify.

Getting Connected With OSoS

-As one of the co-founders of Sales for the Culture, a networking group for Black sales pros, we asked him to come on the show initially as a guest. We loved him so much we made him a co-host!

Feeling Like an “Other” In Sales

-Ryan remembers being at a dinner for a sales kickoff and feeling pressured by colleagues to vote a certain way in the 2016 election because of the industry they were in. It wasn’t appropriate, and being one of the only people of color at the table, he felt like an outsider.

The First Thing He’ll Do When “Normality” Resumes?

-Ryan’s heading to the beach, preferably out of the country, with his fiancé.
