This wide ranging conversation with Nalin Vahil Part 1 spans Dan and Nalin's history of friendship and Nalin's career history. With parents that wanted him to become a Doctor, Nalin forged his own path first as an Entrepreneur and then as a Sales Professional for some of Silicon Valley's hottest tech companies.
Nalin has an expertise in applying the latest technology to run a highly effective sales organization. He also is a passionate student who studys the ways that new Enterprise IT infrastructure enters a company. And in this conversation he explores the role of end users and bottoms up decision making that is often leveraged by Sales teams to land new accounts.
This part wraps up with a great exploration about the role of sales in a software evaluation along with the dark side of the reputation that sales has earned when they are not always necessarily looking out for the absolute best interest of the customer.
These podcasts are dedicated to bridging the gap between business & IT. Each episode looks at different aspects of this relationship as we explore ways to help the two groups better communicate. We're passionate about this topic because it's a failure to communicate that causes 75% of all IT project failures and costs the US $1.8 Trillion every year—8% of US GDP!
