#107: Mentoring the Next Generation of Successful Sales Leaders

The sales profession has evolved, but one thing has remained the same: the power and importance of mentorship. Where sales leaders once learned in person from each other in unstructured meetings — office banter, going to lunch, connecting at conferences or networking events — many of today’s professionals now work primarily from home. So how can we foster growth and success in today’s sales leaders? The answer remains the same, but the execution looks a little different. Dan Dal Degan, operating executive at Marlin Equity Partners, is a skilled mentor with a strong commitment to returning the energy and input he received as an up-and-coming professional. In the last episode of Winning the Challenger Sale podcast before a hiatus, Andee and Dan reflect on how mentorship has evolved, where sales professionals should look for growth today, and the current (and future) state of the field.
