Quotes

“If we think about how we serve our clients, how that buyer buys and how they progress along that path, you have to be aligned at that executive level, right? Do they understand their goal, their KPIs, their area of influence? And if you don't have that alignment at the top it's almost impossible to get that alignment from within the team. So I think that that relationship at the executive level and just how they view the necessity of their peers and their counterparts there is very indicative of how successful you will be in a revs role.” - Justin Gray, CCO, Shift Paradigm
