Curious about what a longtime, successful, and well-respected revenue leader thinks are the most important things to look for when hiring? Well, you’re in luck! Today’s guest is Ted Purcell, the Chief Revenue Officer at Tealium. Ted has over 20 years of experience leading sales and marketing teams at the highest level at companies such as SAP, Marketo, and Clarizen. Ted joins Craig Rosenberg, Matt Amundson, and Judd Borakove to discuss why grit and curiosity are key to hiring for GTM roles, why sellers are faced with such a challenging market landscape, and even a little college football.
Also of note, Matt debuts a fresh cut straight from the barber, Craig gives Ted a one-man standing ovation, and Judd surprises Craig with some great questions.
