Tips and Tricks to Succeed in Sales

About this session

There’s one thing all sales professionals can agree on: it can be a competitive career.

Reaching personal quotas, team KPIs, and company goals can be challenging. But, according to Okta’s Field Account Executive Marcella Norris, exceeding metrics isn’t the key to success in the field — building relationships is.

Marcella will be joining us to share how she paved her way to a successful sales career and practical tips you can use to do the same!

Join us to learn:

  • The importance of having a mentor and fostering your network.
  • How to build good relationships with your clients and how to navigate difficult conversations with them.
  • How to assess your next professional move to keep growing your sales career.
