57. Samantha McKenna: Show Me You Know Me
Show Notes

Samantha McKenna is an award-winning sales leader and highly sought-after speaker. In 2020 alone, Sam was hired to speak at 100+ events by the likes of Google, LinkedIn, CrunchBase, TransUnion and many more.

For me:

S is for Samantha, 

S is for Sales and 

S is for ‘Show me You know Me’…a tenet and principle that I’ve been advising jobseekers to apply in their outreach for nearly two years that was coined on LinkedIn by Samantha.

Sam has had a stellar career working at diverse places Disneyland, ON24 and LinkedIn, among so many others, and is now creator of #SamSales Consulting and is also a LinkedIn Sales Navigator expert. To learn how exactly Sam ‘navigated’ this journey and all the lessons that you can apply in your own career, listen to this podcast where Sam shares:

- How Sam started #SamSales in 2019 end and went from $6000 in sales to now a multi-million dollar business

 - The unconventional way in which she drove to a city where she knew no one and pitched to a company to hire her, and bypassed the long rigorous recruitment process.

- How she got noticed by LinkedIn and eventually got a job there, that she actually turned down at first

- Timeless sales principles you can apply to job search and your own career

- The one thing that Sales Reps at even some of the most well known companies get totally wrong

- What she learnt from her leaders and mentors that she has directly applied to her own team at #SamSales

- And so much more

Sam is a powerpacked, kind and generous leader, and no matter what profession you’re in, I’m sure you will walk away with pages of implementable ideas you can apply to your own career.
