In this episode of “What I Wish I’d Known About Sales” brought to you by Lead Forensics on The B2B Sales Playbook Podcast, we’re joined by Steven Birdsall. Steven, the Chief Revenue Officer at Alteryx, has led sales organizations from Fortune 500 companies like SAP and Oracle to successful IPOs. We dive into his unique perspective on adapting global leadership to different international cultures, his mathematical approach to solving business problems, and the lessons he learned while scaling a company for IPO. We also explore what it means to be a truly supportive servant leader and why he insists on hiring for personal attributes over experience.
