Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Alex Smith.
Alex received her bachelors degree from The University of Alabama in 2012 and then started her sales career at SinglePlatform where we met and worked together in NYC as she quickly rose from a top performing salesperson to sales management positions.
After SinglePlatform Alex became the Director of Sales Development at Ritual Hot Yoga, Flexport, and Headspace, until landing her most recent and current position as Director of Sales at TestGorilla. She also serves as a consultant and advisor to top startups around the world.
Alex is one of the most energetic and positive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and I’ve been watching her career from afar for many years. But it’s been a long time since we last caught up, so I’m excited to get her thoughts on all that’s changing in B2B sales and find out what’s working and what isn’t for her team at TestGorilla.
