-
- Careers
What does it mean to “make it”? What does it take? And how does your reputation play a role?
This is what I explore with Doug Landis, Growth Partner at Emergence Capital and a sales legend. His career journey is impressive and candidly abnormal. He climbed the ranks through sales and then became the Chief Storyteller at Box, which might be the coolest title ever. Now he puts his experience and expertise to good use being an advisor and mentor along with creating GTM strategies for Emergence Capital’s portfolio companies.
But that’s not all I wanted to talk to him about. Beyond his sales and marketing prowess, what has it been like as the person behind the success? What does it take to hit that pinnacle of growth? What sacrifices has he had to make? And the lessons he’s learned? Because Doug’s reputation precedes him as someone who knows his stuff, is a great connector, and is an even better mentor, while being wildly successful. Here are a few highlights we’ll dive into:
Doug’s lessons on walking the fine line between monetary motivation and the pursuit of success coupled with the sheer joy of doing something impactful.Why being positive and intentional can change your outlook and output, at work and beyond.And a few tips for driving accountability and better relationships between marketing and sales. (Okay, I had to ask a few practical questions, too.) Jump into the conversation:
