Episode notes
From Acting Class To Authentic Selling
- Patrick started in sales after disliking inauthentic reps and taking an acting class that revealed his natural presence.
- He built his style by being honest on calls, admitting gaps, and selling the real, authentic version of himself.
Marketing And Sales Should Be Hand In Hand
- Patrick says marketing and sales should be "holding hands" pursuing identical goals rather than operating in silos.
- He emphasizes putting both functions at the table with founders so materials and compensation align with sales behavior.
Align Compensation With Marketing Campaigns
- Ensure sales compensation and marketing programs are communicated so reps are rewarded for promoting created materials.
- If marketing builds campaigns reps aren't incentivized to use, the effort becomes wasted and creates friction.
