Becoming a World-Class SC: Gaining Visibility & Broadening Your Impact (Part 3)
Every professional can feel like they’re operating on autopilot at times — repeating the same tasks day after day without much added effort. But there are ways to stand out and make an impact.
In episode 3 of “PreSales Podcast: Becoming a World-Class SC,” Maria Lat, Manager of Solutions Consulting at Gem, talks with host Mattie Stremic about how Solutions professionals can push the status quo to gain visibility in their organizations. Through her experience as both an individual contributor and PreSales manager, she knows it can be difficult to bring problems to light and have your voice heard.
“Socialize your ideas early and often and come at it in a way of curiosity…start small with your immediate team and your manager. The way to get any buy-in from leadership is to have a solution for a problem.”
— Maria Lat
