Don’t be a Yes Person—Ask “why” to qualify leads

All companies want long-term success, but do they know what it takes to actually achieve it? First, start with leaders who remember their humanity, humility, and kindness. Next, understand that creativity is key and one-size-fits-all approaches fail. All inbound and outbound sales methods must be tailored. Our guest on today’s show, @Dan Fougere, Director of @HomesForOurTroops and former Chief Revenue Officer of @Datadog, has perfected both of these steps. He’s here to share his journey and reveal how innovative cultures that yield and foster outcomes will thrive.&nbsp; Resources: <a href="https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/innovation-culture-strategy-that-gets-results" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boston Consulting Group</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.brightspot.com/forrester-consulting-study-2023-search?utm_term=forrester%20research&amp;utm_campaign=SEA-2023-01-Forrester-Study&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;hsa_acc=9194893936&amp;hsa_cam=18528431478&amp;hsa_grp=142329794305&amp;hsa_ad=644084356223&amp;hsa_src=g&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-297096309799&amp;hsa_kw=forrester%20research&amp;hsa_mt=p&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA1MCrBhAoEiwAC2d64cJ4FR1qeP4CbIVTR9N_ROxWCmcsYdsNAY2Yf2SxW7j-3a-uOTmdgBoCRxkQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forrester Research</a>&nbsp;

Interested in finding that sweet spot where data literacy and narrative fluency meet? It's not always a sign of strength to use facts to support a new way of doing things—understanding the story they tell has importance, too. Get ready to feel empowered by the natural human draw to stories and the truth about how data can contradict people's beliefs.Therefore, using facts to promote a new approach isn't always the best option. We had the honor of sitting down with @Michael Lewis, the well-known financial journalist and publisher of many New York Times bestselling books, and @Amit Bendov, CEO and Co-Founder of @Gong.io., who both know that stories help us make sense of the world.
