Being a woman in poker is similar to being a woman in tech sales - a very male dominated field. Curious how you navigated this throughout your career? I find many women focus on being the top performer as if we have to prove something to our peers.ย

In 2003 she played the main event with Chris Moneymaker - which most of us know completely changed the game. Curious how she pivoted to playing a tournament that typically housed under 100 people to now upwards of 8k. What was her strategy? ... HUGE FAN!!!!ย

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck?

But in all seriousness, can you recommend a book on game theory you think would be most relevant to sales?

Annie mentioned Game Theory. I highly recommend this course on iTunes U from Yale.ย ECON 159 by Yale University ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/id757227970)

Any tricks to reading someone when you can't see them?ย  People that don't share their camera have taken away my greatest strength

How do you handle when the model that you've built doesn't match the story that the person is "telling"?

it's always helpful to hear people's stories. Especially in sales. It feels like the success pathway is often pigeon-holed

For Annie - When would you let your gut override the strategic "rules" or "right answer" of the game? (poker/sales)

Does the way people play poker teach you anything about them unrelated to poker?

Would love to hear more about Annie's background in cognitive psychology and how that plays into earning trust.

In sales, it's tough when you're working with a non-talker.ย  In poker how do you deal with a non-communicator?ย  Can you bait them?ย ย

So far, my biggest takeaways areย 

1) Effective storytelling. Tell a story. People want to be more emotionally connected to the product.

2) Have persona-based pitch decks.ย

Do you believe being 'pot-committed' is the poker version of the sunk-cost fallacy in sales?

Do you keep deals in your pipeline too long?
70% Yes, because they said they might, maybe, probably be ready next week
30% No, because ain't nobody got time for that!
