Summary: In this episode, David shares the mic with Brian Walton, Sales Development Director at LinkedIn. Listen as Brian walks us through his journey from starting off on the talent solutions team of LinkedIn to becoming the Sales Development Director. He has managed and reorganized the sales development teams of Latin America into segments so that each team can focus on their target people and maximize their efficiency. Tune in as Brian discusses the importance of training your sales reps and what he’s fired up about, today, in his work at LinkedIn. 3 Key Points: 1. Managers and directors: spend time with your sales reps, educating them on the fundamentals of how business leaders think. 2. Sales reps: if your point of contact is a VP of sales, go to your own company’s VP of sales—study and learn from them so that you can be better equipped for that meeting or call. 3. At the end of the day, you are just two people connecting and and that point of connection is what people appreciate and respect. Time Stamped Show Notes:
