The Sales Strategist: System-Driven Thinking and Strategic Partnerships - Janice Gordon | Ep 27

My guest for this episode is ‪@JaniceBGordon‬. Janice is a Customer Growth Expert and an absolute rockstar speaker, educator and consultant. She started out as a sales rep, rising through the ranks and learning her craft until she eventually became a visiting Fellow at Cranfield School of Management. She now helps CEOs and Sales Leaders expand key customers, create productive sales teams, and implement proven customer-centric revenue growth strategies. She’s been recognised by LinkedIn Sales as one of 15 Innovating Sales Influencers to Follow and she’s the host of the top 10 Sales Podcast Scale Your Sales.
I first met Janice several years ago on the speaking circuit and I love her energy and passion for her topic, so I’m excited to have her on the show to share her story and experience.

Thank you for the discussion, Dominic. We talked about discovering the importance of customer excellence. You must understand your audience's mindset and challenges before guiding them.
