Customer Lifecycle: The Honest Truth

Why honesty is a competitive differentiator and how sellers are using radical candor in their selling motion.

Sellers when they first approach new customers will generally sell a utopian vision of what a product can do. There will be no mention of bumps in the road, but the road to transforming an organisation through software is seldom smooth. Our guest on the show Moe Goodman, Senior Director of Sales Enablement at CenturyLink, expects vendors who knock on his door, to give the honest truth of what the end to end journey will look like. He also outlines why that is a competitive differentiator and how his sellers are using radical candour in their selling motion. In the second half of the show, he redefines the carrot and stick approach to sales enablement. A show you cannot afford to miss.

Moe Goodman Bio:

With over 20 years of telecom experience, Moe has an extremely rare level of diversity in his roles across his career. Moe has been an operations technician, sales engineer, SE manager, and director, and did a stint in marketing and segment strategy before becoming Sr. Director of Sales Enablement at CenturyLink.
