For the first time, Road Warrior Radio will feature not one, but two people here in person at Lola Studios.
David Donlan is the CRO over at Crayon, and Mary Rogul is his VP of Sales Strategy and Engagement. Mary and Ryan used to sit next to each other in the trenches in their days as sales reps. David was one of Ryan’s first managers and certainly one of the most influential in his career.
Now you may hear the gang reminisce a little bit about the early days at Hubspot and some of the learnings that they have tried to apply to future roles. Some of those learnings worked and a lot didn’t.
The group dives into the importance of attention to detail in your sales process and what to research and prepare for when holding a meeting.
Finally, how do these seasoned sales leaders test coachability and curiosity during the interview process? Why those answers such important harbingers for success?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
