Speaker: Jeff Birk, Director, Global Sales Enablement, Prophix
Jeff Birk: Hey, everybody. Jeff Birk here. I'm the Director of Global Sales Enablement at a company called Prophix.
What will you be discussing at Sales Enablement Summit San Francisco?
Jeff Birk: So what am I going to be speaking about at the summit in San Francisco. I'm going to be the chairman. Sounds like a lot of power, doesn't it? It's essentially the MC. Not sure why they call it the chairman over in the UK and they call it MC over here in the USA chairman sounds like Frank Sinatra or something, whatever. But that's kind of what I'm going to be doing, right? Just making sure that the event goes smoothly, successfully, crack some jokes, have fun with everybody, introduce all of the speakers and just overall have a wonderful time. So looking forward to it and I'm glad that I was invited back to do this again.
What nugget of wisdom are you hoping to leave attendees with?
Jeff Birk: You know, my role at the event is not just to provide you with a nugget, but to make sure that you've gotten multiple nuggets from all of the different speakers over the two days. And I'm telling you it is going to happen. I've done this before. Last year's event was fantastic. This year's is gonna be no different. You're gonna walk out of the door. You're gonna have so many nuggets on skills, statistics, data, tips, all of that kind of stuff. You're gonna need a big bag to hold all the nuggets that you're gonna be walking out of the door and, and let's be honest. I, I just like saying the word nugget. Come on it. It's a funny word. Just, just say it with me. All right. 123 nugget. If you're having a bad day, just pause and say nugget. I can see you smiling already.
What aspect of the summit are you most looking forward to?
Jeff Birk: You know, there's a couple of things that I really look forward to whenever I do these events. First of all, this one in San Francisco - location, you gotta love San Francisco, the hotel or just we got such a great location this year. It's gonna be a lot of fun. There's plenty to do plenty to see. So that's top notch. The second thing I think and even more importantly is networking with people there. Now you're be seeing people that, you know, already that maybe you've met at other events and worked with, but you're also going to have a chance to meet people that you've never met. Maybe you only know them through linkedin or you've heard about them, these kind of titans in sales enablement and revenue enablement. So that's something that you can definitely look forward to. I always do whenever I go and speak at these events and MC these events, it's just a lot of fun. So look forward to that for sure.
