Written by Philippe22 February 2023 Insightful interview on how to excel in B2B selling with Gabriela Fuchs Frei, Executive Director at SIX.
In this podcast, my colleague Christiane Moeschler and myself had the opportunity to #learn from Gabriela on :
– What does it take to be a good #salesperson?
– How can you overcome #rejection?
– How to build a successful #salesteam?
– How has the #pandemic changed sales?
– An interesting story from a #procurement department that was doing everything to #pressure her team.
– And much more…
In 30 years of experience in #globalcompanies, in #sales and #management of international sales teams, Gabriela has seen it all – or very close to it.
She initially studied #hotelmanagement, then got an #MBA at the University of St.Gallen.
I think that she could sell me anything, whether she speaks in English, German, French or even Italian!
When asked about sales, Gabriela likes to say: “You need to have the #passion to sell!”. She clearly has it.
Sit down – or walk or even run – and listen to this very interesting and pleasant discussion.

Written by Philippe21 February 2023 Insightful interview with Lukas Stricker, Senior Lecturer at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences – Institute of Risk & Insurance.
Since January 1 of this year, he is leading all further education activities of the institute. He’s also engaged as advisor in a EdTech company and is consulting insurance companies undergoing major transformations. His insurance and consulting background stems from 14 years with Zurich Insurance company and 3 with McKinsey & Company. Lukas holds a Master of Science from ETH Zurich in Environmental Sciences. This background indicates that he is, as so many in this industry, one that never thought of working in insurance but once there, realised it is a truly fascinating area of work. He is a passionate sailor – on lake Zurich but also as Yacht Master across the oceans. In 1998, he sailed from New York to Portsmouth as member of a crew of six. An experience lasting 25 days and forging complete strangers into a winning team.
Sit down – or walk or even run – and listen to this very interesting and pleasant discussion.
