Key Quotes;

 

Maximise your data usage: "A lot of the time, we don't use the insights. We just track the data almost out of habit, and then we end up not using it."

— Jess Lorimer 00:02:1300:03:23

 

Data driven success: "Data driven sales processes make more money, in a much simpler way and are much better at preventing your own burnout as a business owner."

— Jess Lorimer 00:28:5800:29:10

 

"Maximising sales potential": "You want to have a B2B sales process that works, that is efficient, that you don't have to think about but you can scale using team members as and when you want to."

— Jess Lorimer 00:31:5700:32:08

 

Self-Worth and confidence in sales: "But it is also quite shocking to me the amount of people that I see who would rather spend 6 months to a year trying to figure it out, failing because they're not qualified salespeople, diminishing their self worth and confidence, and then thinking, I don't know whether I can do this."

— Jess Lorimer 00:22:4600:23:10

Finding the right business tools: "Sometimes you have to take a little step back and go, what is it that I want to achieve in my business? Am I investing in the right tools or the right resources or the right support to get there?"

— Jess Lorimer 00:24:0000:24:10

 

The importance of longevity in motivation: "About 90 days after being the most motivated version of themselves that they can possibly be, it becomes more difficult to hold yourself accountable and keep doing the things. Because the reality of B2B sales is that it is about progress and following a very clear process and just doing the things consistently."

— Jess Lorimer 00:06:4200:07:07

 

Focus on immediate solutions to prevent overwhelm: “People can fall into this trap of I'm only focusing on long term revenue. That means I'm only going to present the biggest solution ever to prospective clients, and that can be quite overwhelming for the client."

— Jess Lorimer 00:15:0500:15:19
