A Must Listen

The overarching theme of "Winning the Interview" highlights the importance of treating the interview process like a sales cycle; a mindset that clicks once you recognize the simialrities. The topics covered, pacing of the episodes, and real-life examples make this podcast feel extremely authentic and practical. I highly recommed adding this to your queue. Keep up the great work Dan and Matt, you're making an important impact on a wide variety of sellers.

Do yourself a favor

A former sales leader once told me, “Common sense doesn’t always equal common practice”. For most of folks, interviewing is not something we do frequently. Being able to leverage and benefit from the collective wisdom of two experienced sales leaders was tremendously helpful to me as I formed my mental model around how to approach pursuing a new career opportunity. Whether you’re new to sales or an experience veteran, you’ll no doubt take one or two gems from each episode, and that alone is worth the listen.

Very informative and unique insight

Dan and Matt pointed out things that you should know…but don’t always think about when you’re in the moment. The podcast has great pacing, and was super insightful.
