About the event:

The Surprising Sales Mindset of Successful Startup Founders

Garrett Brown and Colin Coggins, sales leaders and instructors of the University of Southern California's popular “Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs” class, will be hosting an interactive, informative, funny, vulnerable conversation you won't want to miss.

Known for their mindset-focused approach to sales, they show how the best salespeople in the world do the opposite of what traditional sales training teaches, and prove that being a good person and good salesperson are not mutually exclusive.

In this candid discussion, they'll cover:

· How founders can generate their first customers without acting or feeling "salesy";

· How to build a sales culture you can be proud of from the very start; and

· Why the newness of your startup can be an advantage for early sales.

After their talk, they'll leave time to answer any sales questions you have about your own business. Nothing is off limits, so come prepared - this is an amazing opportunity to get their advice on your specific challenges.

Speaker Bios:

Garrett Brown began his career as a corporate lawyer representing entrepreneurs but decided to leave the law and join a tech startup that would allow him to follow his passion. His first role was selling corporate sponsorships for Fastpoint Games, an online gaming platform. He was quickly promoted to run Fastpoint’s Sales and Business Development efforts as VP of Business Development until the company was acquired. He then helped launch and scale Bitium, an enterprise software company where he served as Chief Revenue Officer until the company was acquired by Google. Garrett joined Google in a Revenue Management role where he worked with a wide variety of internal teams and learned countless lessons about the inner workings of one of the most recognizable companies in the world. He is now an active startup investor and advisor, an adjunct professor at USC's Marshall School of Business, and a founding partner of Agency18 (www.agency18growth.com), where he helps companies, build, scale, and inspire sales teams.

Colin Coggins is well-known in the tech community for his unique, process-driven approach to repeatable and scalable revenue generation models, sales IQ, emotional intelligence, and technology evangelism. He has held senior leadership roles at several emerging technology companies including SVP of Sales at Bitium (acquired by Google), Mobile Roadie (acquired by Intellectsoft), Phunware, and Results.com. After Bitium was acquired by Google, Colin went on to lead the global revenue charge as Chief Revenue Officer at Chanje Energy. He now spends a majority of his time teaching, advising, investing, and helping mission-centric companies transition to revenue-forward cultures while staying true to their purpose, as a founding partner of Agency18 (www.agency18growth.com).
