Jen was a full-cycle Enterprise Sales rep for 18 years. As a seller who made every mistake in the book, she believes sellers don’t need to be motivated; she feels they need to be empowered.
Jen teaches the strategies and tactics to earn buyer attention and trust. She has sold $50M+ to C-level Sales, Marketing, and Strategy executives while at Corporate Executive Board, Gartner, and Challenger Inc. (the company behind The Challenger Sale). Jen was a Relationship Builder who learned to sell like a Challenger.
Jen has hosted the Winning the Challenger Sale podcast (growing the audience from 2k to 20k listeners per month) and created the role of Chief Evangelist at Challenger. This Is when she fell in love with speaking at SKOs to help Sales and marketing teams rethink their beliefs and assumptions about how to earn buyer attention and trust and defeat the status quo.
