In this episode, guest Janie Wall joins Helen to explore the power of data in building strong sales team cultures. It is so critical for sales managers to recognize and utilize the “hard” metrics we are all so familiar with such as pipeline coverage and revenue attainment as not only measures of success, but as guideposts to lead us to opportunities to improve the “soft” skills and culture of our teams. In the data, we can find the real answers to unlock even greater success and the clues to a winning culture. Enjoy!
About Helen's Guest:
Janie Wall joined DefenseStorm in November 2020, bringing with her over 15 years of technology sales experience. Janie is a self-described ‘sales geek’ that is passionate about helping companies develop go-to-market strategies to drive revenue acceleration. Janie believes that sales coaching is the most under-prioritized responsibility of a sales manager and loves to leverage data to improve performance and drive results – building a data-driven, connected, coaching culture. It’s important to use key metrics to drive coaching. But to make metrics and coaching meaningful, it’s paramount to lead with empathy and never forget that, regardless of title, we are all just humans trying to achieve the same goal.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
