We had an incredible opportunity to host Shiv Shivakumar at Pando Be it the macro-economic view or leadership lessons you could sense the #RadicalCandor and clarity of thought with brevity. Here are some of the nuggets that's gonna stay with me. #NurturingTalent ✨ Hire for “attitude” ✨ You can hire for “energy” or “experience” based on the role & stage of organization journey. ✨ “Tell the Truth” to your team - You earn respect with authenticity. ✨ Over-communicate ✨ Invest in continuous experiments #ProfessionalGrowth ✨ “Risk of Irrelevance” should be your driving force always ✨ You are in control of 80% of your time #OrganizationGrowth ✨ Engage with the Ecosystem & Partners to force-multiply growth ✨ Building Brand is a multi-year journey - invest early. ✨ Move to variable cost structures for sustainable growth ✨ Culture of learning & change drives outcomes. #CustomerDelight ✨ Soft power ( relationships) is your differentiator compared to hard power ( transactional) ✨ Your customer champion carries your product to their next organization. ✨ Convenience trumps Cost - Value for time drives Customer Experience Thank you Shiv Shivakumar You gave us a new perspective to look at the future as we climb the next mountain in our journey. #leadership #talent #growth Nitin Jayakrishnan Abhijeet Manohar Badri Setlur Ganesh Iyer Honeydeep Singh Sabharwal Chandrashekar Ramaswamy Vijay Kumar Rohit Lakshman Shreya Dugar Prasad Krishnan Sashank Emani Viveka Sasidhar Ankit Govil Sai Prabhu G Sarah Zachariah Aparna Dineshkumar

After this conversation, I wonder how different my career path might have been if I had met Chitra Singh 20 years earlier. As a software programmer, sales never piqued my interest—until I read influential books like Think and Grow Rich and Rich Dad Poor Dad. These books hinted that mastering sales could revolutionize not just business dealings but everyday interactions. This conversation with Chitra on Wonder Woman Wednesday truly illuminated how sales skills can build confidence, open doors to global travel, expand networks, and hone negotiation skills. These benefits apply universally, no matter the industry. Thank you, Chitra, for shedding light on why elevating the sales profession is so crucial and for changing the way people perceive sales. This discussion was not only enlightening but also thoroughly enjoyable!

Have you been someone's scapegoat in the "sales process" of life? We all have personal and professional situations when unwarranted anger is strewn upon us... And as salesmen ourselves, we must learn how to work through that process, Whether with family members, friends, or even clientele, To get to the root of the problem (which usually doesn't have to do with something we did). My simple solution for this: "And?" By asking "And?" we can discover the "objections" preventing this individual from moving forward on whatever is causing these feelings. Is this something you do in these situations? Share how you handle this in the comments. #Sales #Objections #SalesObjections #BusinessOwner #CEO #Leadership #SalesTips #SalesTechniques

I terminated my #1 sales rep. 🤢 When I say she was #1, I don’t mean she led the team in sales occasionally. I mean, this woman’s sales so far exceeded the rest of the team; her sales were easily 2x the second-place rep. So, what happened? This person was one of the most toxic and demotivating people I ever met. Her arrogance knew no limits, and her pettiness and meanness overshadowed any kind thing she may have been capable of doing. However, because she was such a high performer, I took my decision to the board to get their support. Their advice was this… “you can let her go, but remember, your goals are not changing. We still expect you to hit your budget.” (Sounds like a board, right?!) So that’s what I did. And you know what happened? That’s right…. the rest of the team’s performance increased drastically. Not only did we hit budget that year, but we exceeded it. 🤑 Toxic people do more damage to your team than you realize. At the risk of overstating the obvious, a positive culture is the difference between good and great among your sales team. #leadership #salesteam #bekind
