Sales EnablementInstana Aug 2019 - Jun 2020Newport, United Kingdom(acq. IBM)Worked as part of a small but close-knit team (codename Team No Sleep) of three people that were dedicated to helping our #salesteam sell more effectively. Training, development, and continuous education was at the heart of everything that we did. One of the first things we built out was an internal knowledge library of best practices, product knowledge, industry research, and how-to guides. The objective of this was to make it super easy for the sales team to find whatever they were looking for. We also put together a comprehensive 30, 60, 90-day #onboardingprogram to ensure that all #SalesDevelopmentReps, #InsidesSalesReps, and #FieldSalesReps had the right resources to excel. On top of devising this plan, we had to create pretty much every piece of content from scratch. Tracking what resources were being used across the sales organisation and how our efforts were impacting the overall performance of the team was also hugely important to the overall success of the sales team. -
Director Of Sales DevelopmentInstana Jan 2018 - Aug 2019Newport, United KingdomI led a remote team of global SDRs that were focussed on inbound and #outboundprospecting. I never saw myself as a Manager or Director (in fact I despise those titles). Instead I preferred to think of myself as a coach and mentor that spent every waking moment investing in the individuals on the team -- understanding who they are, what’s important to them (inside and outside of work), and what their personal and professional goals were. Once I understood what motivated the team (individually and collectively) and had demonstrated just how were important they are to the success of the organisation the #SalesQualifiedLeads flowed. -
