What do you learn working alongside Thomas M. Siebel, Marc Beniofff, Keith Krach and Bill McDermott? We sat down with Chris Lee - Salesforce, Docusign, Siebel Systems - on The Buying Decision to hear what he learned in the room with leaders who helped reshape enterprise software. Chris’ experience spans the pre-IPO years at Siebel Systems, Salesforce and Docusign, when those leadership styles were shaping the businesses they became. We talked about: • How Siebel commanded a room, Benioff sold a vision, and Krach and McDermott built connection • How to support your CEO in a customer meeting without losing sight of the buyer • How a leader's passion becomes company culture as the business scales There's also a $35M deal, almost two years of persistence and a very unexpected route to the executive floor. Join us Tuesday 13 October, 8:00am AEDT (Monday 12 October, 5:00pm EDT in New York), for the live conversation. #TheBuyingDecision #EnterpriseSales #Leadership
