Shawn Karol Sandy is the Chief Revenue Officer of The Selling Agency (and all around NOT boring gal)

She has conquered, redefined, and re-engineered these roles in multiple organizations – big, small, independent, non-profit – and in multiple industries – Media, Retail, Higher Education, and Corporate Real Estate. Her business, The Selling Agency, uses these experiences to create strong sales programs focused on Organization Selling and strategies that focus on the goal of every business – revenue growth.


Straightforward, practical, and perhaps more than slightly cheeky, her innate gift is helping people find new ways to solve old problems, unique ways to approach new problems, and helping businesses re-invent themselves and their sales strategies. With Bold and Brave thought leadership and Clear Action Plans, her impact on business is Measurable and Meaningful and will lead your sales revolution to growth and revenue goals.


With over 15 years of changing the game and leading the pack, here are some of the dynamic applications Shawn has brought to the businesses she has touched:


Created the “4 Building Blocks of a Selling Organization”

Developed “Organizational Gravity” – method of building competitive businesses

Innovative Approach to Reverse Engineer Sales and Marketing Relationships

High Impact Prospect and Client Target Methodology

Set NEW standards for Thought Leadership and Organizational Experiences

#saas #revops #revopswithanedge #revenueoperations


Alex Theuma CEO and Founder of SaaStock joins Pete Jansons and Jamie Carney of the SAASholes Revenue Operations Podcast to give an update on the SAAStock show coming to Austin

After 11 years of sales experience in IT, Telecoms & Cloud, Alex Theuma started a blog on SaaS called SaaScribe. This soon caught on and he built a powerful network across the SaaS founder and investor community. The blog soon led to the creation of the first ever podcast on B2B SaaS, called The SaaS Revolution show, and that led to the first exclusively SaaS themed meetups in London, Dublin and Berlin.

That was 2016 and since then SaaStock has grown to be the biggest B2B SaaS Conference in Europe with five major conferences a year in five countries and many more local events.

As an entrepreneur Alex Theuma knows the value of shared knowledge from those in a similar sector so it's his mission to share the newest ideas and connect the brightest minds in SaaS so everyone can benefit.
