At Improving Sales Performance, we are proud to be celebrating Women in Sales Month once again.

For all of October, we have an amazing slate of women sales leaders who will be sharing their unique insights.

From offering advice for sales managers new and old to surveying the anticipated landscape of sales in the years ahead, when it comes to Improving Sales Performance, these ladies know how it's done.

Joining Matt for the entire month is Stephanie Downs, SVP & Senior Consultant at The Center for Sales Strategy.
Today, our guest is Kim Guthrie, Division President for iHeartMedia Florida.

Kim brings up so many valuable topics. Such as:

The importance of building trust with and being a sustaining resource for your team
And how it’s necessary to always be recruiting new talent
