This week we had a different perspective, the buyer's perspective, as I talked with Chad Stewart from SmartThoughts. Chad is a professional software buyer - organizations hire him to determine which software platform they should adopt. So he has seen every sales process imaginable and has a special insight we can learn from. In particular, Chad and I talk about:
- The biggest mistake software sales people make
- Why he is a fan of great salespeople
- What is most important to be sharing with your buyers
Chad is really smart and totally understands how a sales process should be run. In fact, he loves it when the sales rep has a well defined, structured process that he and his clients can follow. Don't we all?

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
