Outcomes Over Hours
If you could put together all the ingredients of a great leader, then the outcome would be Donna.
Being a global leader has its difficulties with time zones, however Donna would always make herself available at all hours of the day to be there if required. She would put her team first & go into battle with you on deals to get the outcome needed for both team & business.
I would highly recommend Donna to lead a sales team & would welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
Access Recruitment Group
From day one we knew we were in safe hands. By day 60, she had won over all my colleagues that spoke with her and it was clear what our decision was going to be.
No question was too small, and any that could not be answered on the spot, were answered shortly afterwards, often with a little video.
Donna - I'm going to miss our weekly (sometimes daily) calls - your enthusiasm and positivity were only matched by your system knowledge. At no point did it feel like a sale, it was someone genuinely trying to help.
Rethink Group
The Engine's sales training was insightful and engaging, equipping our team with valuable skills and actionable knowledge. The impact was immediate - we saw a noticeable improvement in our approach to client interactions, pipeline management, and overall sales performance.
Their expertise, professionalism, and ability to understand our unique needs made a lasting impression. We're grateful for their partnership and highly recommend The Engine to any business looking to elevate their sales capabilities.
African Fintech
It's been eye opening working with Donna over the course of this year. We've gone from a scrappy founder led sales function to a growth engine with dedicated sales & customer teams. Before Donna joined, we had something that was working but no formal structure to show the rhyme or reason.
As a first-time CRO, often learning by doing, Donna's also been an incredible sounding board as we (& I) have tried to navigate the steep learning curve that is start-up life in the B2B SaaS world!
Donna's also gotten properly stuck into the business from day 1, it's felt like we've had another team member as opposed to anything close to fractional. Couldn't recommend Donna & The Engine higher!
