Guest Bio: 

Liz Heiman is the Sales Operating System Architect and the founder of Re: Sales™.

Early in her career, Liz trained some of the world’s powerhouse sales organizations. Using Strategic Selling and Conceptual Selling, she helped them boost sales by improving their sales processes and systems. Now her focus is start-up and mid-sized companies selling into complex B2B environments, including medical, government, and enterprise.

Liz’s team uses strategy and process to build a roadmap for success that drives extraordinary growth. While most clients achieve the sustainable year-over-year growth they need, others have realized exponential growth very quickly; as much as $10 million in one year. Liz is on a mission to challenge assumptions, build trust, and make founders’ dreams come true.
