How You Can Be the Golden State Warriors of Sales w/ Bridget Gleason [Episode 201]

My regular guest on Front Line Friday is Bridget Gleason, VP of Corporate Sales for SumoLogic. I recently read an article on how Steve Kerr, head coach of the Warriors basketball team, has instilled a system that’s built around 4 core values: competition, mindfulness, compassion and joy. This framework got me thinking about how these 4 core values actually relate to sales and go a long way towards helping us succeed both personally and as a team. In this episode, Bridget and I unpack these 4 core values in the context of selling and sales performance.
