Providing prospects with a trial or POV (proof of value) to showcase capabilities, features and how this will support your clients in action is really powerful BUT can seriously impact your lead time. 

And no salesperson wants that. 

In this episode I share:

Remember, Trials should work with your process and support better results, NOT hinder them.

Let me know what software's and technologies you offer trials for and how this works in your sales process.

"I'm going to try and make 10 calls tomorrow" 

Do you ever say this? 

Think about the things you 'just do' every day:

You don't try to clean your teeth every morning, you just do. 

It's now a habit but you understand or fear the pain if you don't do.

And yet the lack of activities will cause you pain if you don't take action. 

Instead of "I'll try to make 10 calls in the morning" 

Change to I will make 2 calls in the morning. 

Instead of "I've blocked out the whole morning to do outbound" 

Why not commit to 20 minutes of outbound. 

When you try to go too big when you've been off the routine, habits and activities for a little while it will be overwhelming too big and you just won't do it. 

Check out the full episode to stop trying and start doing! 

And... I share my tips for procrastination too.

Happy Selling.

Welcome to the Women in Tech Sales Series!

This has been a passion project to promote the incredible women in the industry AND to share a little behind the scenes for those new to the industry or thinking of getting into the industry.

It's been a pleasure to host and the women you're going to hear from are inspirations to many after being supported and inspired by others.

The series is a reminder that there are great people within the industry, regardless of where you are in the world, and there is so much opportunity just waiting for you.

Listen to our conversations with:

In this episode I learn how Lisa went from Marketing to Heading up Sales & Marketing teams, Lisa's passion for the industry goes way back.

We met during our engagement at Somerville (now Attura) where Lisa is well known and respected within the industry.

Lisa's passion, leadership and network are something to be recognised and a true reflection of what can be achieved within the industry. 

Our conversation follows Lisa's journey, discussing her initial days in marketing to the moment when she embraced the challenge of an exciting industry, never looking back.

In this episode I chat with Jennifer about her transition into the tech sales industry during the pandemic out of the travel industry. 

Embracing new opportunities, she was introduced to Netskope and has since never looked back. 

From learning a totally new industry, which can feel like a new language, she was ready for the challenge and has embraced it with open arms.  With English being her second language (you would never know), she's had to navigate her way and shares what has supported her along the way.

In this episode I talk to Claire, a longstanding friend and invaluable industry connection, stands out as a powerhouse in her field. Throughout my career, she has consistently proven to be one of the most supportive and nurturing individuals I've had the privilege of knowing.

It was very interesting to discover that Claire, like many women in the tech industry, didn't initially begin in the tech industry. In fact, her career path was quite the opposite; you'll hear my surprise in this episode as I learnt something new!

Claire shares insights into her career path, highlighting the pivotal figures who supported and championed her along the way to achieve the role of 'Head of Regional Sales WA / NT / QLD / SA,' 

She shares strategies and approaches on how you can build your own career!

I recommend bringing your team together aside to your sales meeting

If you’re working towards the dream state of automated sales processes, know this… 

It should begin manually. 

I’ve seen many a challenge with automated everything and yet it’s not effective because it didn’t begin manually. 

The manual process is an opportunity to test, tweak and test again. 

Once you know what works, then automate what you can. 

Not every business is the same so trying to copy what ‘that business’ is doing won’t necessarily work for you. 

Personalisation is key to a successful sales process and I always recommend it’s part of your automation roadmap. 

1. Curate communication templates 

2. Test 

3. Tweak 

4. Test 

5. Automate
