Many of us in PreSales didn’t get into this profession without help. Sidney Gomez, Director of Solutions Consulting at 6sense, says it took more than a village — a whole country, she calls it — who mentored and coached her to get to where she is today.
Now, Sidney is leading a team and finding opportunities to mentor others in the PreSales space. In the sixth and final installment of our “Becoming a World-Class SC” podcast series, she talks with Mattie Stremic about how SCs can benefit by investing in others’ success.
“There are so many people who need help right now; you just need to extend the branch. If we can all commit to helping one person a month — think how much better the world will be.”
