QUOTES

Kevin: "What am I obsessed with? Three things: technology, process, and people. You blend the three of them, outbound suddenly becomes a formulaic machine just like the Model T. You crank it up, you get it going, and once it's running you can drive anywhere you want. But you got to blend the three the right way."

Kevin: "There's so many really technical products out there and really technical buyers that it's not really about the gift of the gab. It's a much more consultative and technical sale, and that takes a lot of documentation, a lot of explanation, a lot of demo stuff."

Kevin: "There's more opportunity out there than ever before for salespeople, for SDRs, for AEs, for anyone who's like in SaaS sales. Now is the time to get an awesome job, an awesome offer. Every company is hiring, venture capital is flowing like water."

Kevin: "What are salespeople for? You're hiring a salesperson to fuss around the CRM, and build lists all day and write emails that never get opened? That's now why you hire salespeople. Salespeople are in the job because they like talking to people, they like solving people for people, and they want to communicate with people. Nothing about sales, even if you're an inbound rep, nothing about sales is just sitting, alone in your desk."
