Key Quotes;
"The online education space has really done people dirty because it's talked about planning like it's something that is generic and doesn't need to be customized to you, to your personality, to your capacity, your time, and ultimately, your strengths." 00:05:2100:05:37
"If you're just creating a sales plan with little to no foundational understanding of how a B2B sales process works and little to no understanding of being able to troubleshoot your existing sales process, it can be really hard to create a plan that actually works." 00:08:0300:08:14
"I believe strongly in things like resilience, grit, being open to spotting opportunities, and actually a lot of things that are similar to money mindset. But you know what I don't believe in is increasing your sales goal by, like, a 1000%, without any kind of data to show that that has the capacity to happen, or that you have the capacity to execute a plan that would lead you to doing that." 00:12:1400:13:23
"We also have to consider the reality that for any plan, you need to know what numbers you're working with, what metrics you're working with and that's where people can go a little bit awry." 00:13:5000:14:05
"It's kind of like knowing that there's something wrong with your car and not being a mechanic. So you’re just pulling out a load of random wires and plugs and hoping for the best. That's what happens when people plan without any kind of foundational understanding of what a sales plan is designed to do and what they want specifically their sales plan to do." 00:06:0500:06:33
"If you are on our email list, you will have heard and seen signs that The C Suite ® is changing in 2025 so keep an eye out for an announcement in the next few weeks of how The C Suite ® is going to look in 2025!" 00:18:0400:18:21
