In the old days, people used their gut to determine what the market needed. But why do you need your gut now? We have so much data.” -Cathy Veri [02:28] “You have to be laser focused on what you are saying and confident enough to say it. You can’t sell someone feature feature feature. Something has to be in it for the customer.” - Cathy Veri [09:40] “People buy specifics. They don’t want general stuff.” -Cathy Veri [32:58] “If the salespeople could sit with an SDR for a whole day, once a quarter, SDR teams would infinitely benefit.
