    Podcast: Adapting to the New Era of Selling With Jacco van der Kooij

    New Call-to-action

    In the latest episode of the Art and Science of Complex Sales podcast, Paul Fuller interviews Jacco Van Der Kooij, the founder and Managing Partner of Winning by Design. They delve into the various aspects of successful SaaS sales teams and businesses.

     

    Jacco highlights the common tendency of companies to excessively invest in tools as a way to make up for skill deficiencies. He stresses the significance of prioritizing skill training over superficial items such as branded merchandise. 

     

    To illustrate this point, he shares an anecdote about a company that decided against printing training materials for a course due to the high expenses involved, but ended up spending even more money on distributing $8 branded jackets at a conference. While acknowledging the value of tools, Jacco suggests that placing a greater emphasis on developing employee skills should be the primary focus.
