INSIGHTS OF THE DAY
KEVIN: FIRE THEM UP INSTEAD OF DRAGGING THEM DOWN
“I think having a positive attitude, I mentioned before, bringing people up as opposed to bringing them down, and then also, it's your focus during the day of getting things done and bringing solutions. And so from my side, I believe that when people are fired up and focused, they'll achieve more and that's what we try to drive throughout the organization.”
KEVIN: ENSURE TO INSTILL ACCOUNTABILITY TO ALL
“you need people that don't have to live in fear, but they have to feel that accountability through your organization and know that we expect them to deliver. And, you know, if you set the clear expectations and clear priorities for him, like, you know, once he kind of flows down, they're accountable for driving that.”

DAVID: BREAKING DOWN THE STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP

These are relationships, beyond coaches, beyond mentors, beyond great bosses, they see the best version of you, and they push you to constantly raise the bar on who you are, how you show up, not just how you perform, but the human being that you become, and the manager and the leader that you become.”

INSIGHTS OF THE DAY
DAVID: AI AND ML ARE GREAT, BUT THEY’RE NOT HUMAN
“I love AI and ML, in reducing some of the labor intensity, I love AI and ML in discerning who are the right profiles for us to kind of interact with I love AI and ML recommending kind of next steps and the right content in there, you know, for that buyer's consumption in their buying journey. It does not replace human interaction. And that interaction needs to be value-based. And it needs to be authentic.”
DAVID: RELATIONSHIPS ARE ABOUT INDIVIDUALS
“I keep reiterating to people, relationships are not between logos or buildings. They're always between individuals.”
DAVID: IT’S ABOUT THEM GETTING BETTER

INSIGHTS OF THE DAY
DAVID: CHANGE IS COMING SOON
“We got to stop calling these things soft skills because we've quantifiably proven that relationships can accelerate, go-to-market relationships can accelerate you identifying and recruiting exceptional talent, relationships can dramatically shorten ramp-up time and time to cash. So it is quantifiable, it's essential. And still, it is not taught in many organizations, and we believe it can be a teachable skill.”
