“Has tennis always been a part of your life — were you one of these 'born into tennis' people, on the court as a six-year-old picking up the game, or did it come later?”
On , Jack Cochran, Vice President of Marketing & Investor Relations at NV5 GLOBAL INC, spoke about tennis during Tennis and Presales with Ron Whitson | Beyond Presales Podcast (Ep 5) on Beyond Presales.
Jack Cochran, Vice President of Marketing & Investor Relations at Dmc Global, hosted the fifth episode of his podcast "Beyond Presales" on November 30, 2024, featuring guest Ron Whitson. During the episode, Cochran thanked listeners for their positive feedback and described the podcast's purpose as helping people "go beyond pre-sales." He discussed the importance of setting expectations for podcast content, noting that if he had invited Whitson to discuss hobbies and they chose an unrelated topic like glass blowing, "people would be a little bit disappointed." Cochran also addressed the ambiguity of job titles in pre-sales, asking Whitson what it means when a company seeks a "Senior Solutions Consultant" and what skill sets are required at what quality. He remarked that if career progression expectations are clear, "I can work toward that." Additionally, Cochran commented on the stigma around taking breaks from work, stating that "our brains need that reset" and that "you eventually burn out if you're on all the time." He promoted Whitson's upcoming book "A Friendly Human in Pre-Sales" and encouraged listeners to subscribe and rate the show.
