Wow. Less than a week now until Rainmaker and we couldn’t be more excited.
We’ve been highlighting some of the breakout session tracks at Rainmaker and already previewed both the Sales Leadership and Strategy track and the Sales Mastery and Methodology track. Today we’ll look deeper at the Sales Operations and Systems track. Targeted specifically for Sales Operations, Sales Enablement, Rev Ops, and Marketing Ops professionals, the track will focus on the alignment of and support for your sales organizations to run more effectively and efficiently in support of your business goals. We’ll dig deep into a number of areas including data, technology, process, education, and governance among a plethora of other topics.

1. Let’s Get Real: What the Heck Is GDPR
Erin Bush, Director of Revenue Operations at Salesloft; Dave Thomas, CEO at EvidentID; Mike Meyer, VP of Information Security at Salesloft
Wednesday, 3/7 at 1:00 pm
The new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) privacy regulation can have a potentially huge impact if you’re selling in Europe, but is also likely to have ripple effects even if you’re not. This discussion will address some of the common misconceptions regarding GDPR (most significantly that it doesn’t apply to your company), followed by what you need to know and what actions you can take so that you are truly ready. You’ll be an expert by the time that you leave – and who doesn’t want to be an expert on GDPR?!

Truly understanding your buyer can be one of the most powerful tools a sales rep can possess. Armed with this knowledge, sellers gain credibility, can speak with authority on real buyer challenges and better position your product or service in an easily relatable way.
