About Helen's Guest:
Janie Wall joined DefenseStorm in November 2020, bringing with her over 15 years of technology sales experience. Janie is a self-described ‘sales geek’ that is passionate about helping companies develop go-to-market strategies to drive revenue acceleration.  Janie believes that sales coaching is the most under-prioritized responsibility of a sales manager and loves to leverage data to improve performance and drive results – building a data-driven, connected, coaching culture.  It’s important to use key metrics to drive coaching.  But to make metrics and coaching meaningful, it’s paramount to lead with empathy and never forget that, regardless of title, we are all just humans trying to achieve the same goal.  

In this episode, guest Janie Wall joins Helen to explore the power of data in building strong sales team cultures.  It is so critical for sales managers to recognize and utilize the “hard” metrics we are all so familiar with such as pipeline coverage and revenue attainment as not only measures of success, but as guideposts to lead us to opportunities to improve the “soft” skills and culture of our teams. In the data, we can find the real answers to unlock even greater success and the clues to a winning culture. Enjoy!
