This podcast is full of quick and easy ideas to improve the way you sell and to give you tools that will help you to save time and reduce frustration so you can scale those sales ABOUT YOUR HOSTS: Two sales experts walk into a bar… that’s kind of how it happened. Julie and Merit became fast friends and the more they talked about their business challenges, the more they learned from each other. Yin met yang. Chocolate found peanut butter. Harry met Sally… well, maybe not exactly, but you get the drift. Sales technique and sales technology finally team up for your sales success. The Smarter Sales Show is two smart sales women advising each other (and cracking each other up) while you get to eavesdrop. Julie Holmes has been a quota carrying enterprise tech sales rep and the director of product marketing for a global software company where she spent a ton of time doing sales enablement work. While the rest of the world is vegging out, Julie is inventing apps and products currently sold in dozens of countries. When she says, "there's an app for that" it is because she is the Library of Congress for all things tech... and if there isn't an app for it now... you can be sure Julie will be the one who will create it. She is an Innoventrepreneur… and to show you how good she is at inventing things, she invented that word! Her favorite question is “What if?” What if you could transform that frustration into time savings and money making? It might sound crazy but that’s exactly what she’s been doing for organizations over the last 25 years. From million-dollar software solutions to higher levels of customer engagement; if there is a frustration you are dealing with - there is an innovative solution to be found… and Julie can help you and your team find it.
