- Why she’s not a fan of playbooks but loves frameworks (ie, “guardrails with expectations”)
- The role of creativity in sales success, and how it enables real business conversations
- How good listening skills helped her win a $30 million deal
- What she thinks about over-segmentation in the sales team
- The journaling system she uses to keep her head up on the bad days

“Everyone talks about problem-solving, but there are four other reasons people take action. You help them get better. You help them reach a goal. You help them pinpoint a blind spot they didn’t even know that they had. You help them be the hero of their own story, not yours. And the only way that you can do that is if you listen.”
