In today's episode, we are delighted to be joined by Chris Pearson, an Enterprise CRM Applications Director. Chris talks us through his early career, how he came to work with the Salesforce platform, and what the transition into leadership was like for him. We discuss the importance of still staying close to the technology as your responsibilities and teams grow, and what changes when you manage bigger and bigger environments. Chris provides some tips on what a Salesforce Leader can do to make a quick impact when joining a new business, how he approaches building trust with team members, and talks candidly about some of the team retention challenges he faced over the last couple of years. Finally, Chris shares some advice on working with Salesforce Partners and Account Executives and discusses about leadership lessons he wishes he knew earlier in his career.
