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?
