Social selling, empathy in sales, and diagnosing problems with your sales process with Sebastian van Heyningen, President – Revenue Operations Consultant at Central Metric

Starting off as an SDR, Sebastian rejected the traditional sales route of becoming an AE. He felt he was more suited to being a full-cycle seller, working through the entirety of the sales cycle. Sebastian now consults with many high-growth businesses to integrate RevOps into their processes.
