    Maximizing B2B Sales Through AI with Usman Sheikh

    Maximizing B2B Sales Through AI with Usman Sheikh

    Usman Sheikh recognizes that the best salespeople follow a process, build relationships, study and research the clients’ business and deeply understand the pain points. They become trusted advisors. When he was leading product and sales enablement teams at SAP, Usman asked himself - why do only 3% of sales reps achieve “platinum” status? What was failing in the sales process?
     
    As a natural born change agent, he wanted to tackle this problem head-on. He observed that sales and marketing were not aligned, and that leads coming in from marketing were not actioned. He saw that sales reps did not have the time to do in-depth research, and that they were not connecting deeply enough to understand the personal motivations of their buyers. So, he set out to apply his design thinking to solve this situation – and xiQ was born.
     
    xIQ is a proprietary platform that combines neuroscience, psychology, and AI to understand the buyers’ mindset and the factors that influence their purchasing decisions. xiQ’s Personality-Driven Sales and Marketing platform enables sales to focus on the most important part of the buying process – the buyer.

    Building a Powerful Culture with Dave Albin

    Building a Powerful Culture with Dave Albin

    Join Cris in a transformative conversation with David Albin, an extraordinary individual whose life experiences shaped his path towards personal growth and creating a powerful culture. Born in 1954 in Hollywood, California, David's journey took a challenging turn when he was adopted by his Aunt and Uncle at the age of 5. At 11, he discovered they were not his biological parents, coinciding with their struggle with alcoholism.
     
    From experimenting with alcohol at 11 to delving into hard drugs at 14, David's battle with addiction led him to Alcoholics Anonymous in June 1988. This marked his entry into the personal development industry. Attending a life-changing seminar by Tony Robbins in 1995, where he experienced his first firewalk, set David on a remarkable path. He served as Tony's Firewalk Captain for almost two decades before retiring in 2014 and founding Firewalk Productions, LLC.
     
    David's expertise has impacted renowned organizations like NASA, Heineken, RE Max, Chick-fil-A, and Google. In this episode, Cris engages in an enlightening conversation, exploring the power of building a strong culture and David's transformative journey of personal growth.
