As a C-Suite Executive you might have a little bit of an ego. But that’s ok. When I was playing hockey I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a little bit of one. I think we all need to be confident in our abilities if we want to be successful. And sometimes a little over confident if we want to achieve great things. But you aren’t great at everything. As a Chief Sales Officer you should be focused on: ➡ Developing sales strategies. ➡ Setting and hitting sales and revenue targets. ➡ Establishing and maintaining relationships with key clients. ➡ Cultivating a client centered culture. You should not be focused on: ➡ Your current asset allocation in your portfolio. ➡ If you are maximizing your executive benefits. ➡ If your estate plan is properly set up. ➡ If you have the right insurances in place. ➡ And every other aspect dealing with your financial plan. By taking the financial responsibility off of your plate. You can focus on the things that will move you and your company forward. Let us take care of your financial life. You have enough on your plate.

🌟 Did You Know? 🌟 I joined the sales world a little over 5 years ago, and there's one thing that has always given me the ick—the term "sales rep." 🤢 Why, you ask? Because it often conjures up outdated stereotypes and misconceptions. But in reality, being in sales is about so much more than just "selling." It's about understanding client needs, providing solutions, building relationships, and becoming a trusted advisor. In my role, I strive to be a partner who adds value, not just a "rep" pushing products. It's about creating win-win scenarios and ensuring that my clients feel supported and heard. Every interaction is an opportunity to demonstrate expertise, reliability, and genuine care for the client's success. The journey in sales is filled with continuous learning and growth. From keeping up with industry trends to adapting to each client’s unique challenges, the goal is always to provide the best possible solutions. I am passionate about breaking the old mold and showing that sales professionals are truly dedicated to making a positive impact. Let’s redefine what it means to be in sales and celebrate the dedication, hard work, and expertise that goes into it every day. 💡 Picture below at my second sales job in 2020 😊 #Sales #SalesProfessional #CustomerSuccess #RelationshipBuilding #B2B #ValueAdded #TrustInBusiness #ClientFirst #SalesJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #SalesExcellence #SalesCommunity

📢📢 Calling all enterprise sales leaders! 📢📢 For today's Primary Venture Partners' GTM role of the week, I am ECSTATIC to share an opportunity to join our breakout portfolio company Lyric as Head of Sales. Lyric is using AI to invent a new era of supply chain decision science. If you read the news, you know the brittle reality of global supply chains. Companies big and small face complex supply chain decisions day in and day out, and Lyric has reinvented the way these teams can model out complex predictions, decisions, optimizations and everything in between... and do so EASILY. 🚀🚀 I had the immense privilege of leading Lyric's first round 16 months ago, and their growth in the time since has been absolutely explosive. It is rare to find an early-stage company that is successfully working with MULTIPLE Fortune 1000 companies, but Lyric has managed to do it. 🚀🚀 Lyric is growing its team across all functions, but the Head of Sales role is a particularly exciting opportunity to be at the tip of the spear in driving the company's continual momentum. This is a really special team and a truly unique breakout business. The joke in my household is that I finish many of my weeks/Friday nights on the phone with Lyric's founder/CEO Ganesh Ramakrishna, who is a force of nature in the best possible way. It's a treat to close my weeks this way, because Ganesh makes me want to go sell software again!! If you are an experienced enterprise sales leader (read: 7-10+ years of people management experience), please apply directly. We are not offering informational conversations on this role, and if you ask me for one, I'll know you have ZERO eye for detail 😆 ...and as always, a reminder that this is one of 350+ other open roles across Primary's portfolio today.

💡 Account Managers: The Unsung Heros of Sales 💡 In today’s fast-paced sales environment, the spotlight often falls on closing new deals and hitting ambitious targets. But there’s a key element that often gets overlooked: account management. Early in my career, I too was guilty of focusing too much on winning new accounts. It didn’t take long to realise that neglecting your existing customer base comes at a cost! Here’s why account management is so crucial: 🔍 Trust & Collaboration: Great account managers build deep relationships by understanding their clients’ evolving needs and consistently delivering tailored solutions. 🚀 Driving Growth: By proactively identifying opportunities for upselling, cross-selling, and problem-solving, account managers transform relationships into long-term growth engines. 🤝 Retention Over Acquisition: It’s far more cost-effective (and sustainable) to expand partnerships with existing customers than to constantly chase new business. In my experience, the most successful and enduring customer relationships are fueled by outstanding account management. When done right, it turns clients into true partners—driving mutual success and long-term value. #Sales #AccountManagement #CustomerSuccess #GrowthMindset #BusinessGrowth
