This is 20 Sales with me, Harry Stebbings. Now 20 Sales is the monthly show where we sit down with the best sales leaders to unpack how they hire, train and retain the best sales teams. Joining me is a legend, John McMahon, widely regarded as one of the greatest enterprise software sales leaders of all time. He's the only person to have served as chief revenue officer and at five public software companies.
Today he sits on the board of companies such as Snowflake and MongoDB, and also mentors and influences, a who's who of modern SaaS sales leaders. This was one of my favourites to do in a long time. He's just a sage of our business and has taught so many of the great sales leaders today. But before we dive into the show today, is your finance team a cost center tied up in enforcing policies, bogged down by cumbersome processes and drowning in operational busy work? Well, what if you could unlock seamless, strategic finance that actually fuels your business growth?
This is why leading global growth companies use Payhawk, the finance orchestration platform that unifies global spam management with conversational AI to deliver best user experience for everybody dealing with company spending. Finance teams using Payhawk report a major shift from operational to strategic work. New AI agents for each finance role handle the busy work, acting with the same governance as your finance team, like having a small team of expert assistants that work 24-7, but also providing an exceptional user experience to your employees.
