Meet The Host
Kyle Holder
Host
For someone that likes to talk as much as Kyle does, talking about himself doesn’t come easy.
Here are the Top 3 Things to know about Kyle:
- He loves to learn. Kyle knows a little bit about a lot of things. Just enough to make him dangerous.
- Curiosity is what drives him. Filled with tons of nearly useless facts, because “you never know when that information may become useful”
- A true Do-It-Yourselfer. He loves to tackle a challenge and try to figure it out himself, stumbling and learning along the way.
Kyle believes the world of sales is one of the most interesting topics to discuss. It is fundamentally the same as it was 100’s of years ago, yet it evolves every day.
You can talk to him about Sales – Marketing – Raptors Basketball or Star Wars – all topics he loves to dive into.
Sales Organizations are now required to partially or fully reinvent the way they approach B2B sales.
In April 2020, AGS conducted a Business Leader Sales Survey. This survey was designed to understand the major issues facing Business Leaders caused by the Pandemic.
The Survey had 4 Major Sections:
- Areas Sales Managers Need Help
- Urgent Priorities vs. Top Priorities
- Main Area of Focus for Business Leaders Moving Forward
- Areas Business Leaders Recognize they need Help
Mark joins Kyle to discuss the survey results, what mindset Business Leaders and Sales Leaders may find themselves in currently, and their challenges and focus moving forward.
Full Survey Results can be found on Atlantic Growth Solutions.
