In this weeks’ Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Sergio Bea.
Sergio draws on nearly three decades of telecom and IT industry experience, leading different sales organization in Fortune 500 global corporations as well as smaller niche vendors. Sergio has led indirect sales teams (Channel Chief award for 8 years in a row) and direct sales organizations with expertise in different market segments and regions. Born and raised in Argentina, he moved to the US 20 years ago with his wife Vanessa and his triplets’ girls (now 22 years old). Both Sergio and Vanessa had extensive executive careers in global companies.
In today’s episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, Sergio shares a case study on transitioning from a direct sales model to a 70% partner-led approach over seven years, discussing the motivations and challenges involved. He explores strategies like decentralizing approvals, simplifying processes, and building strong vendor-partner relationships. Sergio also highlights the importance of soft skills such as integrity and empathy in sales leadership, and shares insights from his personal journey, including his move to the U.S. with his family.
