Episode 10. State of the Market

Join us in this episode with Andrew Philips, our podcasts owner, and the author of the book “CEO Led Sales”. Andrew is joined by our host and interviewer, the Managing Director of Social Star, Andrew Ford.

In this episode, Andrew discusses the criteria you need to hire a stand-out sales team and client success managers. The current state of the economy and talent market is broken down, including Andrew’s view on the requirement for attracting talent when talent is scarce.

The industry is slowly changing, and it’s clear a short-term mindset and lack of strategy will cause more harm than good. Some businesses are facilitating change by bringing in new people - changing the culture through an influx of new talent, with the right industry backgrounds, but from different roles.

This discussion sheds light on the current state of affairs and provides insight into what business leaders need to prepare for in the near future.

About CEO Led Sales:

CEOs often relinquish control of revenue generation to the sales team. This removes the control of the income generation and requires a rethink. By creating a CEO sales plan, it provides clear guidance to the company on the importance of the sales function and the direction the sales teams should pursue. It adds clarity and certainty to the process and rewards the CEO with more trust in the numbers.
