The interview in all its glory:

Kluster's Take

We spoke to Utshab, Head of Sales & Operations at Pulse Industrial, about the fundamentals of sales operations. A chemical engineer by trade, Utshab got into product management before completing an MBA. After this, he felt that the most interesting section of a business is where the product overlaps with customers; at which point he organically moved into sales operations.

Utshab breaks down a how to, here.
