Empathy in Sales: Dorian Kominek Insights on Channel Partnerships and Innovation
In this episode Aliya & Kelly talk with Dorian Kominek, an innovative entrepreneur and channel partnerships specialist from Calgary, Canada. Dorian shares her journey as a young entrepreneur, starting with a candy business in high school, and discusses the importance of empathy and understanding when selling ideas to others.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Understanding Channel Partnerships: Channel partnerships involve enabling other businesses to sell your product on your behalf, creating a "force multiplier" for sales efforts. This approach can significantly scale a business by leveraging the networks and resources of partner companies.
Empathy in Selling: When selling ideas or products, it's crucial to have empathy and understand the needs of your audience, whether they are family, team members, or potential customers. This understanding can lead to better buy-in and more effective communication.
Iterative Idea Communication: It's important to communicate ideas in a step-by-step manner, guiding others from the initial concept to the final vision. This helps prevent overwhelm and ensures that everyone is on the same page, facilitating better collaboration and understanding.
Leveraging Technology for Scaling: Female founders should be cautious about their tech stack, opting for established tools that offer integrations and long-term support. Automation tools, like Zapier, can streamline processes and reduce manual work, allowing for more efficient scaling of services.
Continuous Innovation and Curiosity: Embracing a mindset of curiosity and problem-solving is essential for entrepreneurs. Engaging with potential customers early on to validate ideas can lead to better products and services, while also fostering a culture of innovation within the business.
