RELATIONSHIPS Over Revenue | Talk2Rami feat. Kate (Barnett) Kirschner


Kate (Barnett) Kirschner shares her journey from overcoming social anxiety to becoming a successful sales leader at Guesty. For her, the most important aspect of sales is building genuine relationships, embracing vulnerability, and adapting thoughtfully to the rise of AI in the industry. Her philosophy centers on truly caring for people, asking the right questions, and fostering a collaborative sales culture.


In the world of sales, the traditional approach often feels transactional, focusing solely on closing deals rather than fostering genuine connections.


Successful sales are rooted in relationships. Hiring individuals who are natural relationship builders is crucial. "If you get a good relationship builder, if you get somebody who cares about human beings, you can teach them a product, and they can sell it.”


Kate’s experience in building relationships serves as a reminder that success is not just about closing deals—but about fostering genuine connections. By prioritizing empathy, curiosity, and collaboration, sales professionals can create a culture that not only drives results but also enriches the lives of those they serve.


In a world where technology is ever-present, the human element cannot be replaced, and those who embrace this philosophy will undoubtedly thrive in their careers.
