How does this senior sales leader use humour to make professional connections?
We’re chatting with Miram Ebrahim, the Senior Director of Strategic Enterprise Sales at Criteo. Miram brings a refreshing authenticity to sales. She’s not afraid to be different and relate to other people using something funny or interesting. It might not always go as planned, but in sales, a “no” is bound to happen—it’s all about how you recover from it. She also emphasizes the power of tapping into your network and finding mentors to help you along the way.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
– What women bring to sales and how it’s become a more equitable environment.
– The value of mentorship in becoming your best within the sales industry.
– The unconventional way of seeking out mentors that actually works.
– The biggest lessons the experiences at Google, Apple, and Amazon taught Miram.
– How to stand out when you feel like a small fish in a big pond.
– Critical traits of successful leaders and whether they’re innate or learned.
– How to help your team deal with rejection and why it’s so important.
