Advocating for the Little Guy: A Frank Talk with Dan Goodman, Warrior of The Sales Rep
Q: What are some of the ways in which a salesperson today is getting into a new role?
Dan describes a market where candidates are highly sought after, but employers scrutinize too tightly; negotiation should focus on leverage, rigorous terms, and protections to avoid being trapped by vague promises, while keeping a clear view of equity, vesting, and tail risks.
CRO Longevity & Navigating Organizational Transformation with Susan Rothwell
Q: How did you handle the complex three-business structure at Epsilon when you joined as the first CRO?
She started by aligning finance and enabling functions, brought in data, mapped customers and purchases across units, and then pursued a verticalized structure to unify go-to-market efforts across the different brands, ultimately presenting a clear, supported plan to the executive team.
