In this episode of The Exceptional Sales Leader podcast, I engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Donny Hackett, founder and CEO of VeriDeal. Donny shares the journey leading to the creation of VeriDeal, a groundbreaking platform designed to differentiate genuine sales achievers from the embellished resumes prevalent in tech sales. Through his narrative, he highlights the struggles and realisations that catalysed his transition from a sales executive position at AWS to a tech entrepreneur, aiming to transform industry standards. As Donny delves deeper into the nuances of the VeriDeal platform, he discusses its potential to alleviate hiring challenges by providing verified proof of performance for sales professionals. This episode covers crucial themes such as the importance of authentic relationship-building in sales, the impact of market dynamics on job security, and the innovative approach of leveraging client feedback for career advancement. Donny's vision is to empower individuals and enhance recruitment processes through a verifiable, results-driven framework, making significant strides toward reshaping the competitive landscape of tech sales.
