Athyna - the platform for hiring talent globally
Interview 1
"Unexpectedly on the other side, you have the Strategic Partnerships Manager of Google. It’s crazy and I love that! You never know who you’re going to get!"
Ivan has had 15+ SalesHookup meetings and really embraces the platform and supports its mission. He joined the platform to improve and learn new things. He's never experienced a platform like it before, and its main value is that it removes the hassle of arranging meetings.
On SalesHookup, he’s met people working at Google, Salesloft, and the best SaaS companies all over the world.
Interview 2
“He was working in partnerships for a long time, and he started giving me insights about how to do it. I even told him a problem that we had, and we tried to solve it and brainstorm some ideas. It was great!”
Jose has had 15+ SalesHookup meetings. He thinks SalesHookup is amazing for getting ideas from his matches on how they would handle certain situations and how they would improve different processes, as well as giving them his advice and ideas as well.
He loves how people with lots of experience with different backgrounds, in different industries, randomly hook up. All the different points of view and approaches opened his mind to different ways to work and see things.
Interview 3
“Jeff was a CEO of a company in an early stage, so I was like “Ok, how do you like to get contacted by people?” It was really nice to hear his feedback.”
Eliana has had 5+ SalesHookup meetings. She said she had been struggling with certain challenges and trying to find out where she was going wrong but mentioned that it had been difficult to open up to her coworkers. Then she had her first SalesHookup meeting and it was perfect timing to speak to someone outside her org who had gone through the same experiences!
It made her realise she needed to lower her expectations whilst she was getting started and not get frustrated by the pressure of wanting to get results asap in her new role.
She explains how at Athyna they practice roleplaying but how it wasn’t real life. SalesHookup gave her the chance to test how much she knew about her product in a real-world setting. It was great to discover what she was missing and what needed reinforcing.
Interview 4
“I truly recommend it to everyone working in a sales position. Working remotely, it’s good to have a rest, a different way to think in your week, and it provides you with an injection of energy!”
Martin has had 5+ SalesHookup meetings. He joined SalesHookup as he had been having less interactions working remotely. Weekly virtual calls with your team don't compare to the hours spent working in an office together.
Having an extra half an hour to speak to someone you don't know, from a different company, in a different industry, but with the same interests, really helps to think a different way and take a break from selling remotely. It provides you with an injection of energy!
He was trying to break into the world of sales coaching and was matched with someone that had moved from a sales position in a huge company, to a sales coach in a couple of years, so got great value asking him questions about his experience.
