🐾 Can't believe it's already been a year at McKinley Scientific! 🐾 Reflecting on my first year in sales, I've learned a few things: Relationships Matter Most (and actually being nice) - It's not just about making a sale; it's about cultivating genuine relationships/friendships. People do business with people they like and trust, right? Persistence Pays Off - like trying to figure who are all the decision-makers (and their contact information). Flexibility Is Key - especially when your "perfectly" planned pitch, sales quote, or discovery call, gets derailed by a last-minute change in the client's needs or a scheduling conflict. I've had client's change their minds at the last minute but still managed to be a resource and support to their lab growth. And speaking of flexibility, I actually have a pawsitively (did I spell that right lol) good excuse for missing my first work anniversary celebration - meet the newest member of my family, Clover! 🐶❤️ Apologies in advance if my email replies are delayed today (or for the next few months) - Clover's on her millionth potty break already! Here's to many more successful sales and adorable puppy distractions! (Send help, I haven't slept a full night since she came home lol) #SalesLife #NewPuppyAdventures

💸 Last month I closed my first deal! 💸 What I didn’t have: - AE Training - AE Job Title What I did have: - Tenancity - Understanding of my product - Belief in the solution What’s helped me: - Talking to people like people and not thinking about commission - Working with a platform that I have an unwavering passion for - Consistently listening and learning If you want to do the unexpected… just blooming go for it. There’s nothing stopping you, not even your job title 💪🏼🌟🦄 (p.s, that was a great day and I couldn’t have asked for a better first customer to close.) #successstory #sdrlife #salescommunity #womeninsales #womenintech

LinkedIn family, #WisdomWednesday. It's hard to understand but everyone is in sales in some aspect of their life and career. (Starbucks barista, the PTA at school, the Teachers on campus, social media, or even the sales professionals) In life, it isn't WHAT you know, it is the WHO you know. So, you never know WHO or WHAT is down the line... or HOW you can be an impact on others through a connection. So lets CONNECT; calendly.com/rachyll In the recruiting world, I have found we are talented in connecting people with other people. The "but I'm happy here and have no plans of leaving anytime soon." closes you off to opportunity. This #mentality won't open the right doors to lead you, your clients, or others you know to their fullest potential. #takethecall #settheappointment #reachout #alwaysbeopentoaconversation #network #connect #commmunity #impactstartswithaYES #itisnotWHATyouknowitisWHO

12 years in the making. I did not read the dress code before starting at STAR. So, on my first day it was a hundred degrees outside and my high heels weren’t the best choice. I was feeling pretty awkward.. And then a Teams message popped up: “𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?”. The feeling of inclusion as soon as I read this, is something I won’t forget. Christophe Coquilhat was the one sending the message. This year marks his 12𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑. 12 years of recruitment, key account & business development management. 𝐖𝐨𝐰. Being a quiet force, he has taught me to not underestimate the 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲. And to always have an open mind. Champion in telling the 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐬, he also knows the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐭 and 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟. 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩. Here’s to wishing you all a colleague like Christophe Coquilhat.. 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 12! 🏆 STAR Specialists is where you grow a career just like this one. Sales supermodels: Sari Van Tendeloo Roos den Hartog Anne de Peinder.

A short story with a great outcome on why people relationships matter. Relationships with people are my "why" for what makes work meaningful for me. I've always been a big believer in building strong relationships with the people I work with, and also the people whose paths I cross with in various ways both big and small. When I look back on my career, I can attribute each stop along the journey and my favorite work experiences to one or more of these relationships. I will always remember taking a reference call in January 2020 with Dini M. when she was making her first SC hire at Lattice. That 5 minute call quickly turned into 30 minutes, I remember thinking to myself after we wrapped -- "we're going to work together one day." And sure enough we did when I joined Lattice in late 2021 to lead & scale the Solutions Consulting organization. My experience during my time there will always be a highlight of my career and I grew considerably as a 2nd line people leader with new skills that I'll carry with me for the remainder of my career. More recently, earlier this summer I made the decision to get back to my passion, which is leading pre-sales SE/SC teams. One of the first people I connected with was Katie Meyer, who I met 3 years earlier when she was leading the SC team at Outreach. Although I landed at Lattice, we stayed in touch along the way - I've always admired her leadership style. As luck and good timing would have it, she was beginning the hiring process for an SE leader in North America at HiBob, which is now my new home leading the North America SE team. Although I'm just getting started, I'm excited for the journey ahead to help build a world-class SE organization with some truly world-class people. More to come and lots to look forward to, but today I find myself reflecting on the importance of relationships and the impact they've had on my life and my career. #peopleleadership #relationshipsmatter

Im one month into my new role at Ncontracts and already I have learned so much from my colleagues, my leadership, and our customers. Its been a crazy, rewarding month and I wanted to share some of my takeaways: 1. The work is never done. There will always be things you can do to generate pipeline, close deals, and create a positive experience for your customers. But if you can’t prioritize the never-ending list of things to do, you might be working well past 5pm for awhile. Learning to prioritize the most important tasks early on is essential. 2. Find your work/life balance. Look, i’m the kind of person that thinks “If I just work a few more hours tonight, I can get ahead!” Sure, there are times where this is totally fine but make a habit of it and you’ll see your productivity decline. Im making a point to, at least a few days a week, close the laptop at 5pm. Date night’s with my partner, gym sessions, and game nights with my friends might not always be around. The work will be there tomorrow. (And taking a break is just going to up your productivity in the long run). 3. Ive said it before and I will say it again: People by from people. Full stop. When I meet with current or prospective customers, I am very much myself. I don’t put on the “sales hat” or the whatever else. I put on the “Dylan” hat. I don’t want customers to work with “Dylan the Salesman.” I want them to work with, “Dylan, the guy who loves watching college basketball and nerding out on history books.” No one wants the sales schtick. Ever. Just be you. Im excited to see what lessons the coming months bring as I try to continue growing personally and professionally! #sales #salesexcellence

Wow, 6 years at Bright Network! Where does the time go? 🎉 In that time, so much has changed, and I’m grateful for every moment. Here’s a quick trip down memory lane: - Bright Network went from being the underdog to becoming the UK's most used early career platform (Times Top 100)! - Lost all my hair (totally worth it, though). - Held 4 different roles, all within the exciting world of new business sales. - Had the privilege of working with 3 incredible managers who’ve shaped my journey. - Onboarded over 200 new employers, from enterprise giants to innovative mid-market companies. - Moved offices from Regent Street to Liverpool Street. - Worked from over 70 coffee shops across 15 countries (new environments sooth my ADHD). - Watched our membership grow from 150,000 to 1.3 million bright minds! - Seen the team quadruple in size—and we’re still growing (seriously, check out our live roles)! - Stopped telling people I was an introvert and embraced my authenticity—life got so much better after that. -Met some of the most incredible people - colleagues, clients, members, speakers! Time really does fly when you’re having fun. It’s rare to find purpose-driven work in the corporate world, let alone in a company culture that values results, realness, and rest in equal measure... maybe results a little bit more. In light of recent events, I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be: fighting for a fairer and more equal society for the next generation. They deserve nothing less. 💪 Here’s to the next chapter! Kirsten Barnes James Uffindell thanks for the opportunity of a lifetime

In 2023 I focused on developing my skills in Paid Social Advertising, this year I want to do more of the same but also expand into some new channels 👀 #Progress #Learning #Growth
