  • How many times have you gotten a message that says…
    "I love the work you are doing at [company]. Want to see our demo?"
    Yet another sales rep reaching out. It’s not an easy role!
    But how do we add the human element back into cyber sales?
    To help answer this question, we brought out Jonathan Wood, Cyber Sales Leader, and Samara R. Williams, Manager of Information & Security Risk.
    In this episode of Technically Divided, we explore the world of cyber sales including everything from the prospect/vendor relationship, to what is and isn’t working, and the future of selling security.
    Technically Divided is Presented by Axonius

    As someone interviewing for a Sales Engineering position, watching this round table couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you, Mighty Algorithm, but thank you to the four who imparted great wisdom and candid advice. Wholesome content, delivering raw truths in a digestible and tactful way.

    One of the most valuable pieces of content on this topic! This was pure gold. As a SP, I gathered a lot of information from the practitioners perspective.

      Absolutely! And it helps understand if there is a fit between the product and the buyer

    I’ve been in meetings that chris Cochran describes where my SE is showing a deck and I feel the customer looking at me and telepathically telling me to show them the product 😩

    Do you need to have a cybersecurity certification to be a cybersecurity salesperson?

      i dont think so but you just need to know what all services do and how they potentially help a business

    Also in cyber goes the same thing: If you wanna sell, you don't have to sell.
