Ask the Stupid Questions: Building a Sales Career from Scratch | Jacky Rossouw
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From receptionist to Sales Director and Board Member at Lecico South Africa, Jacky Rossouw shares her 23-year journey of grit, learning, and relentless relationship-building across Africa.
In this episode, we cover:
-How Jacky went from unemployed to her first big break and used it as a launchpad for her career
- Why a learning mindset (not just hard work) was the real driver behind her growth into a sales leadership role
- The power of asking “stupid” questions and never pretending you understand when you don’t
- Letting go of day-to-day operations to empower senior staff, build a stronger sales team, and create a scalable business
- How Jacky built sales relationships across African markets by investing in culture, trust, and value, not just price
- Why sales is ultimately about connection, ease, customer experience, and making your customers’ lives simpler
If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, sales leader, or ambitious professional wondering how to grow your career without formal qualifications, overcome intimidation and learn on the job, open new markets in Africa, or step back from operations to focus on strategy and revenue growth, this conversation will inspire you to back yourself, pick up the phone, ask the questions, and build something meaningful.
