We've all been faced with headwinds this year in terms of shifting demand, shifting way people sell, opportunity and challenges. I ask Steven about the advice he has given to the outside world and how much of that have he had to apply to his own business. Steven talks about the importance of changing your messaging to better fit with the world and the mindset customers and prospects are in, in a down economy versus a good one. Specifically, helping companies to do more with less. And then, showing prospects exactly how much in terms of dollars, you'll be able to help them do more with less. It could be less money, manpower, resources, whatever. We went through this exercise ourselves. It's a good example, but when times are good, the sales team and the marketing team at Badger, their messages is, "Hey, we're going to... We'll help you sell 20% more with your field sales team". And we shifted that messaging to, with Badger Maps, your outside sales team can generate the same revenue, even though your team is 20% smaller. And there's a huge difference in these two things, even though it's basically saying the same thing we're going to help you do better, but then one of these messages resonates way more with prospects in a down economy than the other.

I have to make sure I still understand what operational marketers are going through, what the current issues are. I ask Cheri what where her best practices doing that as an analyst and what are some of her best practices for staying sharp. The best practice for me was really just listening as much as humanly possible ... Ask for feedback really early on. People think you have all the answers, but you won't, so you may as well just go in very early and as part of a research process, whether you're creating a technology report or something that's more model and framework based and say, "I'd love your feedback on this." .

I think the more complex a sale is the more useful this approach is. Let's say you're selling something very simple, like water filters and you don't have a whole lot of options here, and it's not that complex in terms of the need, then you don't need to go into this, co-creative mode. You don't need to do deep discovery. Whereas if you're selling a complex, say software system, you really do need to be on the same side of the table as your customer to figure it out together. There's so much unknown. There's so much ambiguity. And that's where I think some of these tools become particularly useful. We talk a little bit about the discovery process in this approach and how it sometimes differs from the typical list of discovery or qualification questions that a seller might use.

26:05This week's episode is entitled "Successful Event Pivots: Best Practices and Lessons from Will Curran" Will is the Founder and Chief Event Einstein at Endless Events . We talk about what it's looked like the last few months as he's worked with clients to create engaging events online. Will has so much energy and enthusiasm. I ask him how much of that is a key part of the recipe for success. "...you have to do start with really good content. You can't just come in and say like, "Oh, we'll just create a high energy experience," and not have this thought-provoking, good content, good ideas and things like that as well." ----more---- I think where the last couple of months have shifted, since in-person experiences have dissipated and now we're a hundred percent virtual, is that people are also recognizing that there needs to be production value. I think that when people are now getting so much webinar fatigue and Zoom fatigue that they don't want to sit and watch a square box with someone talking with slides right next to it, they're looking for something high energy, and exciting, and, more importantly, different, I think, than anything. I also ask Will what are we doing today in a virtual format that he thinks will sustain when we can get back together again... and if there are certain components of great events he thinks are at the top of the list, in terms of, if you nail this, it's more likely to be a top notch event. In other words, what are some of the foundations of great virtual events right now?

I ask her to describe her approach and what her firm does. I love the angle they're taking, we don't see it often enough. "We actually personalize everything from profiles, content, messaging, sales communications, because we want to get down to the level of the actual individual. Who is responsible within that account for different things? They're all going to have the end goal of increasing revenue for their company. But a sales rep is going to have a different goal than the SVP of Sales. Or whoever you're targeting, whatever decision making group you're targeting, they're all going to have different goals and we want to make sure to speak to all of them, so you can create that collective buy-in and change why they should be working with you versus maybe a competitor or why they even need to change at all." ----more---- We also talk a little bit about the personal account based approach and how that's different from how a lot of people think about ABM traditionally.

The idea of selecting your MarTech stack and selecting the right sales and marketing tools is something most marketers are grappling with. The problem is getting worse because there are more and more tools on a regular basis. I feel like if you go and talk to each of them, if you go to every tool's website or you see them in a trade show (eventually we'll see them at trade shows again), you go to their website and you hear from them-- everybody individually has a great story. It sounds like a good pitch. Sounds like a good opportunity, interesting, but you can't buy 7,000 tools. So the idea of selecting which tools are important to you, which vendors are going to be best for your business and for your stack is a real challenge. I ask Subbu to talk a little bit about why he decided to go down the route of creating a tool to help people make better technology decisions. We also talk about the importance of knowing what are the outcomes you are trying to achieve as well as what capabilities you need and how peer feedback can really help us.

25:44This week's show is called "Business Activity vs Lead Generation – Where True Demand Comes From” with Justin Shriber , CMO at people.ai . We're talking about signals and trigger events you can pull out of your consolidated information to have better contextual conversations with your prospects. We have complex buying journeys that not only take a long period of time, but also sit across multiple members of the buying committee. We also have multiple people on the selling team. So if you have an insight, it's not as binary as saying, "Well, let's put that into an email sequence," or, "Hey sales person, go mention this on your call." Ideally it's integrated across multiple channels in an appropriate sequenced way. Justin and I talk about how sales and marketing are increasingly embracing that complexity and he shares some keys to helping companies integrate those insights and those triggers into that more complex nuanced sequence. Listen to the end to hear some great lessons he's taken away from COVID and from other experiences like it as well. This and a lot more!

24:10This week's show is called "He Predicted Marketing Automation and ABM. What’s Next?!" and our guest is Jon Miller , CMO at Demandbase I ask Jon how do we get beyond ABM? If this is a marketing exercise, you're neutering its impact from the beginning. The account-based revolution isn't over. There's a reason why everybody has adopted account-based, but traditional demand generation is fishing with a net, whereas account-based marketing is fishing with a spear. You throw your net out, you see what you catch, you don't know what you catch versus you go after the big fish. But I've been thinking a lot about the limitations of both ABM and fishing with a spear. And partly, it just comes down to... It doesn't feel very good to get poked by a spear. I think, fundamentally the fact that with traditional ABM, we would identify the accounts we really wanted to go after, and we'd go after them, regardless of whether they were interested in hearing from us or if it was the right time. And so, you end up having this world where we were doing traditional demand gen, which was great, because we only called people who had high scores and we thought really actually were ready to be called. With ABM, we were calling people regardless of whether they were interested. Is there some way to merge these concepts? Is there some way to bring the engage-ability of inbounds with the precision and targeting of ABM? I think I've come up with a concept that I've been playing with a little bit, and that's the phrase of account-based experience , or ABX. And I think account-based experience is a customer-centric rethinking about how you go after accounts, but really rooted on that buyer experience. It's about engaging with these modern buyers on their own terms, letting them be anonymous when they want to be anonymous, being really helpful and relevant when they're ready, always based on trust. And the other cool part about ABX is it fixes the biggest problem in the ABM name, which is it had marketing in there. And as we all know, it's bigger than just marketing. It's got a hold on the market team. This and A LOT MORE! Listen in now or read the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing Blog starting Mon. 2/8/21 at 6am PST.

It is definitely more complicated, it's definitely less predictable, may be high risk, but lots of high reward. I ask Jason why is this function so interesting? What about partner marketing is so exciting? Jason shares about the pros and cons of how companies should think about direct versus indirect direct versus channel. There's a balance there between content and demand, between leveraging and building trust and credibility while also still driving pipeline. ROI is a two-way street. How do we also stay focused on deals? What's the chicken versus the egg, which one's the egg? I ask Jason about how to think about exclusivity versus playing multiple sides? Both inbound and outbound from a partner standpoint, are there advantages to one approach versus the other? And if there is, what are some of the criteria and variables you would look at to try to make that decision? This and a lot more!

Jeb shares what the salesperson in the future needs to get and understand and why he thinks this is the best time ever to be in sales ever because... ... in this crucible of pain that we've been through over the last year, salespeople and buyers, by the way, are being forced to learn new technology, learn new skills, step out of these embedded comfort zones and start thinking, "Let's be flexible and agile." There is going to be a time to meet in person and there's going to be a time to meet by phone. There's going to be a time for text messaging. There's going to be a time for face-to-face meetings. So why not get good at all of those things so you can meet your buyers where they are and you can move faster. And by the way, probably have more time to spend with your family like me.

It's a deep, deep research piece. But this year, because there are so many changes in 2020, really generations shifting in terms of buying, a huge number of changes. It's the most dynamism seen in the market report ever, which makes it a really cool time to be in the business. Check out the 10 takeaways . I asked Russ, of the key takeaways, what are things he thinks are the most urgent for sellers to consider as they approach how they manage their buying journey moving into 2021?

And if there was ever a time to pay it forward and say, "How can we help? Let's kind of take the deal off the table for a moment. But how can we help you or what can we do to support you?"

25:21This week's episode is entitled "Coronavirus, Trade Shows and Value vs Venue". So many cancelled conferences! The people who wanted to attend are missing out on something. The people who wanted to sponsor are missing out on something. The people who produce the conference are going to miss out on something. So what was that and how do you now use that? The last thing I want anyone to do is think about this as an opportunity. I've been really trying not to use that word this week because no one should be opportunistic when lives are at stake. For the people organizing events, for the people planning on producing the events, the most common response I have seen is, "We are going to do a virtual event . We are going to take all of that learning in-person, we're going to do that online." But what if what attendees really want isn't just the content, they want the community? What if you took those same resources and created small micro versions of your event? What if you use this as a way to catalyze actually creating and activating those local user groups to help your customers to help people in your community get together in person? There's a thousand ways you could actually do that. But in the past when you've just said, "Wow, we'll just go to the regular trade show and just do it all at once." It feels more efficient. Now a virus has forced our hand, but you got to think about where is that value exchange, what is actually valued in that process along the way?

We cover strategy methodology for sales and marketing professionals all the time and naturally end up talking mostly about selling products. It's not often we step back and say, okay, "What is it when you're selling what people DO?" I facetiously tell people, as a consultant I talk and type for a living, so I don't necessarily have the same widget to be able to sell to everybody or the same piece of software to sell. So selling in professional services obviously is very much a thing. In this episode I ask Steve how is that different and why do people need to think about this a little differently when you're selling professional services versus selling product? And for smaller organizations--- is the answer to that to separate your services from your selling? Is there a way to make that transition? If you are a small firm and representing yourself, what are some of the strategies that you've found work best? This and a lot more!

21:22This week's episode is entitled "What Do Tina Fey, The Ohio State University and B2B Marketing Have in Common?" and our guest is Marilyn Cox , Vice President of Marketing at Clubessential Holdings, LLC Sometimes I think of this term content marketing and it sort of demeans what the form and what the opportunity is. Is there a value in thinking of it as just content? How do you create content that engages, that persuades, that teaches, that makes people better? By doing that well, you're earning ongoing attention, you're earning the right to continue the conversation that might turn into a sales conversation, but is it wrong or is it counterproductive to call it content marketing or should we just create good content? We talk about this and a lot more! Marilyn is into WWE. I ask about her interest overall, but also what makes these athletes such good storytellers? I also ask her, given her diverse career, the different places she worked in marketing, what she'd say if she was sitting in front of a group of soon to graduate college students, what's some advice shed give them they might not hear from others that she thinks is important for their careers moving forward? I think one of the biggest is ... I think I would agree when a lot of people say that you have to recognize that you don't have all the answers and you can't stop learning. For me, that's huge. If I were talking to people that were getting ready to graduate and were going into marketing and they were earlier in their careers, I think the one piece of advice I would give them to build on that concept is start to learn outside of marketing. Not to discourage people from reading good marketing content and best practice content, I absolutely do, but I think there is a lot to be gained from reading more on financials. I will say probably aside from, of course, aligning with a sales team, the organization that I align with the most at a company is always the financial team. The CFO is somebody that I make my best friend very, very early on. Listen in NOW or read the entire conversation on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Mon. 2/10 at 6am PST.

They have done a ton over the years to really develop the definition of account based marketing to really set some benchmarks and drive a lot of great thought leadership around it. The concept of ABM has been around now for at least three, four plus years. Demandbase has been involved in this category now for a long time as well. In this episode, I ask Nani: How she has seen ABM evolve? What is ABM here at the beginning of 2020? Can a company's marketing be applied to any target? Do you think for companies that continue to go down this maturity curve this won't be a separate effort, that this will just evolve into the sort of table stakes of how companies market to their targets? What sales role is in driving effective ABM programs and what does it take to get a sales organization aligned with the marketing efforts to create a truly integrated ABM approach? What are some key lessons you've learned about what it takes to take this great idea and actually land it? (how does it work on Tuesday?) How do you make this not just a campaign but a culture change? What are some things you've learned that are key to making that work? And lots more!

4:59In this 5-minute extract from Dave Lorenzo’s interview with Matt Heinz we learn the kernel of truth that drives a new business relationship that turns into a sale or becomes a bust. This is part of the discussion with Dave Lorenzo about his book, " The 60 Second Sale " ----more---- To hear the full interview, go here: Can a First Impression Make or Break Your Sale? Q&A with Dave Lorenzo "The 60 Second Sale is about creating a condition under which, if your best client, the person who trusted you most in the business world, had a need and you called them up, it would only take you 60 seconds to close that deal. So, if you are adding value to somebody who already trusted you, you could close a deal in 60 seconds if you met those exact conditions. The book is about creating those conditions every single time. It's about taking what everybody would think of as a one-call close environment and making the relationship the one-call close." "Another way to look at it is to take the individual moments of truth that occur throughout the day with our clients and with the evangelists who are out there recommending our services, and winning each of those individual moments of truth. So, you create an environment that is one of trust, and you make sure you're always focused on the wants and needs of your clients, and you can close a deal in 60 seconds."

This week's episode is entitled "How to Start 2020 the WRONG Way" and I banter with our MC and friend, Paul Roberts. Football does come up (as usual), but we also talk about 2020. Don't go into the holiday period and into January 2nd without a plan, without knowing what your objectives are, without knowing what you are going to be focused on. What are you trying to achieve? What 12 months from today, does success look like? And what are the key things that are going to get you there? Know what that plan is, at least going into the storm. Knowing the storm is probably going to try to tear it to pieces, but having that plan up front, if you don't have some semblance of that, it's going to be very hard to start the year off on the right track. Listen in below for this and more. The full transcription will be on our blog starting Monday, 12/30/19.

23:37This week's episode is entitled "What Do CRM and Spirituality Have in Common? A Wide-Reaching Conversation with Jon Ferrara". I asked Jon Ferrara , CEO at Nimble , what are some of the key highlights you would say are the bigger waves that have really had a big impact over the last 10 plus years, that are impacting successful sellers today? ----more---- His reply: I think the more digital we get, the more human we need to be. And especially in this day and age of being over-connected and over-communicated where I don't even want to tell you the number of unread emails that I have in my inbox, more and more salespeople are turning to technology to try to bombard their customers in getting them to have a conversation. I think that the more human you are, the more you'll stand out and that ultimately people buy from people they like, know and trust, and so you have to build relationships to drive results. We also got talking about CRM's. Our host and MC, Paul Roberts, said this of Jon: I have never heard such a succinct, interesting historical take on CRM and I never heard anybody say, what I've always thought that really, for most people, it's just customer reporting. They just want you to report who you called. It's not about building relationships and I think that's the key difference here. Listen in to hear the connection to spirituality and about how to adequately think about technology as a system as well as the story and the relationships behind it. We also talk a little about the old world social sell and much more. Jon graciously offered a gift! if you try Nimble use the code Jon40, When you sign up it'll save you 40% off the first three months.

I think maybe five years ago, the big buzzword in B2B was maybe "social selling," "social media." A couple of years later "account-based marketing" and then we start talking about AI and I think there has been a lot of interest in artificial intelligence, a lot of discussions. I think inevitably that initial frothing turns into, "Well what exactly is it and how do we use it?" And AbsoluteData really have been at the forefront of this.

Well, it's not necessarily in that case about the commodity, it's about what people are going to do with it. I ask Oren to share his best practices for taking something that might feel like it doesn't have a lot of competitive differentiation and how to still get that sold at a premium. He talks (among other things) about the idea of getting people to believe in what you're trying to say, getting them to think that that is their idea and getting them to believe that there is something that's worth changing, something worth doing is a very, very powerful concept.

Find out what wave machines and authors Hemingway and Chandler have to do with anything. The topic today I've been thinking a lot about is this difference between incremental and exponential thinking and what that difference is, what it means, why it's important. Sales and marketing folks talk a lot about small tactical problems that provide incremental change, but... ...We're not always taking the time to step back and think about the monumental changes that may be in front of us that if we could think more strategically about those, we might be able to move forward more efficiently. Among other things, we also tackle the notion of a world without email. If we assume email is no longer a channel, how would we think about other channels? How would we think about other means of communicating? If we could envision a world where something is no longer true, does that help us think not just incrementally but exponentially?

How do you encourage people to make the right internal moves to be successful with ABM? This isn’t all-or-nothing, right? How does ABM integrate with other key marketing priorities moving forward? One of my biggest concerns with the term ABM is the “marketing” part of it, but “everything” feels too broad. How do you think about that?

26:07Today we're honored to talk with Lindsay Pedersen , Owner at Ironclad Brand Strategy and best selling author of " Forging An Ironclad Brand: A Leader's Guide " "Today the most scarce resource that most of us have is attention. Any tool that can break through or can harness attention, whether it's a song, or a brand name, or an image, is truly a multiplier." According to Lindsay, "There's a distinction that's probably worth making that brand strategy is simply the definition of who you are and what is the promise you bring. So what's the stake in the ground? Why should your customer part with their hard-earned money, or time, or attention for you? So it's really the definition of the value you bring and brand marketing and the tactics for brand marketing and brand awareness building which belong in the bucket of marketing and those can be kind of in conflict, some might say, with your term "lead generation". Brand strategy is agnostic of tactics, just like your mission is agnostic of tactics, so related but distinct as well, right? So whether it's B2B or B2C being very precise about what is the value you bring your customer is worthwhile, regardless of what kind of company you are and regardless of what stage company you are. If you're a startup and you have a small marketing budget and a small innovation budget, you probably stand to gain even more from focus-- brand strategy is simply a tool for focus. So it's not less useful, it arguably is more useful as long as you're serving human beings who have scarce attention, it's going to be really welcome to have a focus." This and a lot more!

Intercom user Elegant Themes added Intercom to their site, and now convert 25% of leads through live chat. Go to Intercom.com/deals to jump on customer intent in the moment. Then see everything else Intercom can do. A taste of the specific topic of the Pivot is here: Matt: That’s fantastic. One thing that stood out to me in that conversation is something I know a lot of people face, either in their businesses or in their career, and it’s the idea of a pivot, right? The idea that you see an opportunity and sometimes you move from what you were doing to something different. I think in hindsight those successful pivots always look like a slam dunk. In the moment, they’re not always a clear cut choice. Could you talk a little bit about that moment of making that pivot, and sort of what you had to go through just sort of mentally to do that? And I’m thinking about that not just for those that might be entrepreneurs, or are thinking about stepping out on their own, but people that are looking at their own even sales and marketing careers and facing an opportunity that isn’t certain, that it sometimes is scary. David: Yeah. I always love how we talk about it as a moment of time. There’s this moment where you pivoted and everything changed. The reality is, when I talk about the fact that our business shifted, that was a five-year process. So it’s something that you start to see, hey, this doesn’t really connect for me, and I’m wondering if this is the right path for us. And then over time what we saw is that we were investing more and more time and energy in the small business component of our operation. And less and less in the alternative asset. So you start to see these resource conflicts that came up within the business, those that were working on the real estate side were concerned that maybe they weren’t getting the time and attention. And so eventually we divested it. We sold that portion of the business to a company who wanted to continue to grow and expand in that area, and that was ultimately best for our customers best for our team members on that side. And it would give the remaining organization a chance to focus in on who they really wanted to serve, and who we wanted to be long term. I’d like to say that it was a moment in time, but the reality is it was a long, painful decision because you’re talking about people, your clients, your employees. And as entrepreneurs, you have this sort of emotional attachment to this thing that you’re building. So, not easy. Matt: No, not easy at all. And I think we could probably spend the whole show talking on the concept of the pivot as a process. Which I think is something that a lot of people that have been through that, both successfully and unsuccessfully can talk about. But I want to cover today, and we talked before, as we sort of talked about all the different topics we could cover in this conversation. I want to talk about the sales and marketing engine you have built. As a lot of people, you start the business, you start to figure out what are people looking for? What does our sales process look like? And as you’ve grown the business successfully over the last 16 years, you really have developed an engine for growth of the not only supporting your growth goals but also you’re doing it without making cold calls. You’re doing it without having to do a lot of complicated, and sometimes just frustrating outbound selling efforts. So I wanted to talk a little bit about sort of how you came to that process, and how you’ve been able to sort of systematizing and scale that. You'll need to listen to the full episode to get the full benefit of David's experience and success. ___________________________________________ Sales Pipeline Radio is hosted by Matt Heinz of Heinz Marketing which is a program on the Funnel Radio Channel .

25:55This week's episode is entitled "Your most important sales meetings just went virtual. How do you differentiate and still win." Join me as I talk with Tim Riesterer who is the Chief Strategy Officer at Corporate Visions A lot of Tim's talks really center on the idea of conversations. Conversations in marketing, conversations and sales. I ask Tim to talk a little about the origin of that as a focus area, and why the concept of conversation is so important to effective sales and marketing. "....oftentimes products sound the same, products look the same, product smell the same. And the real winner is the one who can tell the best story, the one who can articulate value." ----more---- The definition of value, and what constitutes value, has a lot of opinions and it can be very abstract. Right? And so, as long as everybody starts to understand that value is what the customer determines it to be, and the primary driver of value is in the mind of the customer, is the contrast between what they're doing today and what you're asking them to do tomorrow. They can't even perceive value if you just talk about your solution, it's features and benefits. There is no value proposition in your solution, even if you try to link it to a customer problem. "The real perception of value is being able to understand their current situation, and the change they need to make, and what that impact will be." Of course we had to also talk about the new book published earlier this year, The Expansion Sale . And it really focuses on not only keeping customers, but growing customers. I think this is a place where, thankfully, I'm seeing a lot more CMOs and organizations invest in not just winning the initial funnel, but really treating the end of the sales funnel as the middle of the revenue bow tie. Tim shares what that means and some of the other ideas that were really important in this new book. Listen in now or read the full transcript on our blog starting Monday, 7/20/20 at 6am PST. Tim Riesterer, Chief Strategy Officer at Corporate Visions , is dedicated to helping companies improve the conversations they are having with prospects and customers to win more business.

Joanne is the Founder of No More Cold Calling I can't imagine a time when referrals or referrals and sales, referrals and business has been more important when channels are shrinking, budgets are shrinking. Joanne's been beating this drum for a long, long time and it's been important and prescient that entire time, and I would imagine she's hearing more from companies right now saying, "How do I build that referral culture?" I ask Joanne why she thinks it's coming up more often now and how has her answer changed or evolved over time? ----more---- Companies are really realizing they have to do more than just give lip service to referrals, to say to their sales team, "I'll just go ask for referrals." And they're finally realizing that's not working and realizing everybody in the company knows someone, but this word culture is important. Joanne shares how she was afraid to use it for years. She says, "Well, maybe afraid isn't the right word, but it's because I worked for a consulting firm and they did culture work and it took forever and cost millions of dollars. So, that's not the picture I wanted, but it's really about how do you set a strategy, have goals, have metrics, build skills, have accountability, and make sure referrals become the way people work? And Matt, I found this wonderful definition of culture: Culture is what happens when people aren't looking. Listen in now for this and a lot more.

25:10This week's episode is entitled "You’re Hired, Just in Time for a Pandemic! a lively Q & A with Chorus.ai CEO Jim Benton" . Jim was new to Chorus when the pandemic hit! Jim has a front row seat in terms of seeing how conversations have changed. I ask him what prospects are talking about and how sales teams are pivoting some of their messages as well. We talk about what he has seen by mining their own data and by listening to those changes and what they're finding about the way sales teams have really pivoted in this time. ----more---- Surprising to some, connect rates are at least holding steady, if not going up. Prospects are more open to talking to sales reps, especially those who have shown they can provide some value. It'll be interesting to see if that continues as we get into more back-to-the office or more of a hybrid work-from-home-work-from-the-office, wherever we are mode. Jim shares some of the data that supports this and how that can give some optimism to sales teams. This and a lot more!

This week's episode is called "Brand Management in Uncertain Times". Our guest, Karen Leland , is the President at Sterling Marketing Group. Listen now for a lot of really great advice on brand framework, brand development, and even care and feeding of your brand, whether it's your personal brand, your team brand, your corporate brand. A lot of what we're talking about today is in her book, The Brand Mapping Strategy . Check it out, for sure. We talk about building stronger personal, business, and team brands. I ask Karen to talk about those and how those are different and why it's important to differentiate between them. Everyone has a personal brand and in the world we're in today, I mean, think about it, there are eyeballs than ever looking at people online. I mean, especially, with where we are now. When we're working with teams to build better alignment between sales and marketing teams, we're very clear with people upfront that the cultural impact, the cultural requirements for change are critical. We have to be able to clarify very articulately and in language, for ourselves and for other people, what exactly is our brand. And my sense is, there's a level of regular disciplined, care and maintenance that goes along with this. I ask Karen, "What does that typically look like?" "What are the ways that people, day to day, week to week, need to think about managing their brand?" This and a lot more! Read the full transcript on our blog starting Monday, 6/22/20 at 6am PST.

I was so impressed with my recent experience at EventHack 2020. A must see (watch it on demand) " Hacking the Future of Virtual Events ". We had a great conversation about Corey's role and what Socio is, and what they had to face head on (with great success) just a couple of months ago with the onset of the pandemic. I ask her "What were some of the leadership lessons? I think that one of the key things that I've been trying to lean into is trust your gut. I think it's easy to overthink things. And I think that one of the first things that I realized is that there were no rules anymore. Anything that you thought you knew, just throw it out the window. And so we spent a lot of time trying to tap into that authenticity and being completely empathetic with our audience in a time that, they didn't even know what to do..... Transparency is the biggest thing because what I found in my experiences, ambiguity is a motivation killer . We also discuss lessons for managing a remote team. And so much more. And as I do for many of my guests-- I ask "What's something you miss you can't wait to do again. And what's something you don't miss that will no longer be part of your new normal moving forward?

25:07This week's episode is entitled "What’s your Noble Sales Purpose? Best Practices from Lisa McLeod". Lisa is the founder of McLeod & More as well as the Author of Selling with Noble Purpose . We have vision and mission. We have objectives and sales. We know what we want to get done, sometimes we happen to think about what the prospect wants out of this as well, but that's different than having a noble selling purpose. Noble sales purpose-- what is it and why is it so important? When you have this clarity of purpose, it gives you a sight line into your customers. It creates urgency and it also makes you a lot more resilient because if your whole self esteem and self confidence was built on hitting your number, you're having a big problem right now. The way you find your own unique noble sales purpose is by answering three really critical questions. How do you make a difference? (How do you improve life for customers?) What impact do you have on customers? (How do you do it differently than your competition?) On your best day, what do you love about your job? And those three questions seem simple, but the answers to them are actually rather profound. And those become the story of your company. And it's a much more compelling story for a sales team and for customers, than we provide superior products and services. Like no one cares about that, at least not now. So much good stuff...

I ask Mike " What are you seeing from organizations that have been traditionally in person sellers ?" Quite frankly, the value prop you bring isn't necessarily different just because you're not in person. Because you can't see someone at a trade show doesn't mean you can't still talk to them. Mike shares five things that are really different now when it comes to virtual selling. Managing yourself Managing meetings How you set up and build relationships How you get people to make decisions and how you get them to choose you How you actually manage a team that is completely distributed Of course in light of current times, we also talk about whether or not this pandemic will really permanently change anything.

24:01This week's episode is entitled "More Sleep, More Sales: The Direct, Science-based Connection Between Sleep and Revenue". Our guest is Jeff Kahn is CEO and Co-Founder of RISE . In this current world of uncertainty, and stress, and work from home, and homeschooling from home, and all this crazy stuff, getting a better night's sleep is crazy important. Jeff has been at Rise Science now for over six years. I ask him why sleep is such a passion and why he created a business around this. It was just the simple fact for us that sleep affects, as far as I can tell, every measurable thing that we do know about human functioning, sleep has an effect on that measure. So to think about something that impacts everything that you do, impacts how long you live, and then impacts billions of people, that, it's almost unheard of. There really is nothing else that really impacts people at that scale. Right now, people are working harder. The boundaries between work and home have really kind of evaporated as we're working from home right now. Jeff gives us some examples of the impact and the correlation between good sleep and productivity, and why that's even more important right now. Listen in to hear his answer to the question "Can you make up sleep debt?" We talk about the science of sleep. We talk about precisely how getting more sleep can help you get more sales. Jeff also tells us how the app works. Check them out, risescience.com . Go to your favorite app store and look for Rise: Track Sleep . They have generously made the app available for free right now to help folks sort of get through this current craziness. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales Pipeline Radio is sponsored and produced by Heinz Marketing on the Funnel Radio Channel .

23:50In most B2B companies, sales and marketing aren’t strategically aligned. In this podcast Kevin Knieriem shows how to repair sometimes warring factions. This program is for Sales and Marketing Management. One of the biggest challenges we've seen is the silos between sales and marketing. I ask Kevin how he sees some of the leading companies addressing this conundrum-- And, how is he seeing them overcome and actually create stronger bonds and cohesion between sales and marketing. We also talk about how he's starting to create and operationalize revenue operations in his own company. He tells us a little bit about what he's seen and experienced including a set of best practices of how to take what can often be good strategic alignment between sales and marketing and really bringing it down to a tactical level like getting going from, "we agree to revenue responsibility across departments at S-K-O" to, what do we do on Tuesday? He shares some keys to helping make sure operational alignment happens on a day to day tactical level. I think finally we're seeing a number of places where AI is having real practical applicability and it feels more accessible to organizations. I also ask him, are there other applications of AI he sees specifically and are there additional elements that may be more theoretical now, that he thinks in the next 1-3 years are going to become more reachable?

When we talk about marketing accountability and measuring the marketing's impact on the business, it's not just a scorecard.

Mark is the author of numerous books including the brand new book, A Mind for Sales . These are uncertain times. A lot of prospects are slowing down on things. Mark is talking to sales leaders all day long trying to figure out how to keep their team motivated and how to keep selling, how to keep selling with empathy. I ask Mark what general advice he's giving based on what he's seeing in the field? Look at the long picture. Look at the long game. Don't try to play the short game, play the long game. We're going to get through this. We're going to get through this. I'm very optimistic. The piece that I'm saying right now, short term, is you need to be listening to everybody's backstory. Everybody's got a backstory, a personal backstory and a professional backstory and you got to take a couple minutes and listen to that. Listen to it with empathy because you know what? You've got a back story. What's happened so far to you and how are you responding to it? And if we demonstrate that, it's amazing how we create a much better connection. There's a lot of business being done out there, a lot of business, a lot of opportunities, but you just have to take the time to listen, and listen more intently. And that's advice that you could give at any time. You could've given it three months ago. You can give it six months from now-- Use your active listening skills and understand where someone's coming from. I've heard pros and cons of people saying, giving the what's keeping you up at night question and making questions too broad. How do you exercise active listening? How do you let your prospect share while still maintaining control and direction of the conversation? Mark, in his book talks about minefields and the mind traps, M-I-N-D traps. I ask him to talk about the things many sellers face when they have good intentions. They develop their systems, they do some of the things he's talking about, but then they start to execute and they lose. Seeing they lose momentum, they lose confidence. I ask, what are some of those common minefields of mind traps and how do you get around those? This and a lot more...

Role specialization in particular seems to be causing an over-emphasis on teams to take on the productivity piece. This causes a loss in that personal touch and building strong relationships. We are still people buying from people. "Over 80% of our respondents in the study who said that they were effective at building relationships across the buying committee with multiple people, they were the ones who also said that they were effective at achieving their desired sales goals." Naturally integrating Microsoft's CRM and LinkedIn it creates efficiency for the sales rep to get back out of the tool and get back to actively selling.Having a full picture of the buyer and their timing to be able to synchronize all the data. This looks different in each organization, depending on the tools, but it is critical in every setting. "It is so important that a marketer knows the tactics and strategies that they're using are actually working. And you can bring in all the leads in the world, but if they're not quality, then your sales team, is going to be pretty unhappy." Listen to the full episode.…

17:39I talk this week with one of the masters of B2B sales, digital selling, a good friend, Jamie Shanks (CEO at Sales for Life ) in an episode I call Selling with Spears: Account-Based Sales Development Best Practices with Jamie Shanks ----more---- I asked Jamie: "I've noticed in a lot of your marketing, and a lot of your messaging, that you've made the shift from social selling to digital selling. Help me understand, what's the difference, and why is it important to think about this, broader than just social channels, today?" To whet your appetite, here is part of Jamie's reply. Read the full transcript and/or listen below. "...the reality is that social media is only one mechanism to help a seller connect with a buyer. Other digital platforms, like video is one, and is soon emerging, and I believe is the next wave, artificial intelligence and machine learning, are all digital data points. Remember, you're using these tools for research, for account planning, for account engagement, for account qualification and disqualification. All of these digital tools and fingerprints that customers are leaving around, can be harnessed to help a seller. And so we're evolving it towards digital. And in fact, even companies like LinkedIn are evolving it beyond digital. They don't even call it digital anymore, it's being called modern. That's all that it is. Because at the end of the day, social selling, digital selling, it's all just selling. It's just infusing the 21st century into your sales place."

18:52This week, Frances Traisman , Senior VP of Sales for the Seattle Mariners joins me as we uncover some great B2B lessons from baseball that apply to all businesses. Listen in now and/or you can also read the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing Blog starting Mon. 3/18 at 6am PST. Here's just a taste of Frances' insights: So as far as a strategy when it comes to sales, first and foremost if we're talking from a B2B standpoint we're listening to them about what's important to them. So for instance, if employees are important and they want employee engagement, we have opportunities for them to come and create a fun experience out at the ballpark that they couldn't necessarily get at a park... when else can you sit with your prospective client or even your best client and have an opportunity at a leisurely pace while being entertained, to talk business. So we really do have opportunities for anyone that we're talking with. That can be a blessing and a curse. So trying to stay focused on what our overall goals are can be challenging. It's a little overwhelming actually how many options we have to offer and so that's where we come in as leaders on the sales team to really help our sales team focus on where we need to have those opportunities go.

26:44The future of marketing’s leadership role is the central topic between Derek Slayton, CMO of Terminius , the ABM Platform company, and the host Matt Heinz. As they discuss the future of account-based marketing, they side-track into the important area of marketing’s revenue responsibility. Derek contends that B2B marketing is no longer a red balloon versus a blue balloon’s discussion just about lead generation; today it’s about the partnerships between sales, marketing and the CFO with the focus on revenue. Derek says Marketing has to be forward leaning into the revenue discussion and held accountable for holding up their part of the revenue bargain. “We get lost in our to-do list,” and the most notable CMO’s balance the use of tools and leadership to advance the strategic goals of the company. This is a program every marketing leader should listen to more than once. Sales Pipeline Radio is sponsored and produced by Heinz Marketing on the Funnel Radio Channel . Each week at 11:30 am Pacific time (plus 8 hours UTC Time) Matt Heinz interviews the best and brightest minds in sales and Marketing.

26:13Our guest this time is Shawn Herrin g, VP of Marketing at PandaDoc in an episode called, The Hidden Inefficiencies that are Killing Your Sales Workflow and Conversion Rates ----more---- As a new head of marketing at a startup, there's a thousand things to focus on. I asked Shawn (among other things): What are the places you try to look at first when you're joining a new company? What are the priorities you think are most important to drive some wins as a new head of marketing? In early stage companies, they don't often starve. They drown. There's a thousand things to look at, right? As you think about the brand, you think about awareness, you think about leads, you think about supporting the sales team, you think about future opportunities. I also asked Shawn: As you look into the future, how do you think about those different priorities? And how does a startup in a marketing environment balance traditional awareness, brand goals with really driving measurable pipeline as well? What I've been focused on in the first six weeks as well as leading up to joining PandaDoc is trying to understand where is all the revenue coming from? What is the ideal customer profile, like just the traditional foundational items. And I get less concerned with leads. I get less concerned with MQLs. And I really get focused on pipeline, and then pipeline to close. This is just a taste.... listen in now.

19:49Alex Shootman, CEO of Workfront joins us this time as we talk about principals of doing things "The Right Way". Check out his book, Done Right: How Tomorrow's Top Leaders Get Stuff Done. It pulls from over thirty original interviews with experienced leaders across a variety of industries to show how tomorrow's leaders can effectively navigate the modern workforce. "... this notion of getting it done and doing it right-- and mentally, if you think about a two by two grid, with a vertical axis being getting it done in a horizontal axis, being doing it right, it's a notion of ... the vertical axis is low to high. Are you getting it done or are you not getting it done? Doing it right is are you living up to the values of an organization or are you not living up to the values of an organization? It's this notion of if you're not getting it done but not doing it right, it's probably not great place for you. If you're doing it right, but you're not getting it done, you have the values of the organization, but you might need some coaching on how to objectively accomplish the role that you've been given." "If you're getting it done and you're doing it right, you're the person that everybody ought to see their name in lights. The tough one is if you're getting it done, but you're not doing it right, you probably ought to be fired faster than anybody in the organization, because nothing destroys the pursuit of the culture that you want in a company faster than being willing to tolerate people who can accomplish their goals but don't live up to the values of the organization." "What I found over time is I believe people are good and people want to do the right thing. A lot of times they just haven't been given the space to put a premium on values."

She discussed with Matt the reasons behind the book and why she wrote it. This is a Wall Street Journal Best Seller. She said that the number one thing CEOs and executives are focused on is growth. Bova found the Growth IQ is how we get smarter about the decisions we make. What she would consistently see and hear were, we're having softness in our sales numbers or we're finding it more difficult to grow than we have in the past, and it would tend to pull the same levers. “Spend more marketing dollars, hire more sales people or cut costs, and that just couldn't be sustainable over time because we now have so much more data as we were just talking about the CRM systems and technologies is far advanced is where it was five or even 10 years ago.” There were patterns, Bovi said, that she was hearing in high performance organizations and it she found she could sort these into specific patterns and she outlined 10 in the book.

But now more and more markers, more and more companies, are realizing that that needs to be a defined and measured and a prominent part of their marketing mix. I ask Ryan, at LevelTen now for almost two years, how they are thinking about that balance that is investing in the brand but also feeding a sales organization and driving some revenue responsibility? Ryan says "Let's really focus on the demand generation but the brand (and I'm using air quotes, realizing nobody can see it). The brand has to be a bi-product of that. So what does it look like? What are the messages you're actually saying? And how are you saying them?" Listen in for these answers and a lot more!

And personalization at scale doesn't mean you're doing everything in an automated way. Sometimes it simply means you have a system and a process to allow you to more efficiently personalize what you're doing, and it makes a difference. I think when you've got a set of target accounts, the question you need to ask isn't how much does it cost. The question more is "what is it worth?", "what is it worth to maybe not necessarily just spend more money, but also spend a little extra time creating something special?". And I think that's part of why I think creating a systematic way to really make a mark and stand out is so popular right now.

What are you seeing in the field and trends? Seeing overall that B2B marketers believe that content is more important than ever. 84% of B2B marketers are looking to increase their investment in content this year. 55% of marketing budgets are spent in content investment. But they are saying their content is under-performing. Why? Possible answers are: Their content isn't very good. The experience surrounding the content isn't performing. OR they are not able to see the results to properly measure the success. For content to be successful, it definitely needs to be engaging... it needs to be insightful, relevant and something other than what the "other guys" are producing. The content has to be action-oriented. You have to have a piece of content you expect something to happen at the end. This should be common sense, but it is often forgotten in the rush to meet the content quota and flood the venues. Get an actionable list of insights from Shannon from the full episode. Listen now. About our guest: Shannon Dougall has been called, “a marketer of the future.” She is an adventurer, scientist, and artist in the field of marketing.

" "The total obtainable market or the serviceable obtainable market...it doesn't really matter what they call it. The total addressable market is the market that you want to sell to. And a caveat here is that most companies prospect too broadly. " The unsung hero - lead nurturing.

It's looking for insights into the internal buying machines. Surprising enough you can gain a lot of insights from "out of office" messages. You will basically be given the org chart of the company. They looked at trigger events and campaigns around bounces. A bounced email happens when someone leaves the company. "Matt's no longer with the company, but Sally is here..." This gives you a lot of information and opportunity for an introduction and you can look for Matt at his next company, which is probably in a similar position. You can get two contacts from the one bounce. Who did Matt replace? Where did Sally leave to take Matt's old job? This is 4 contacts from one bounce. This is about unpacking the information in the body of the email, this is not scraping. This is human written information in the body. This was just in the first 8 minutes. You need this replay!

24:41We were happy this last time to have Chris Finneral ,CEO & Co-Founder at SketchDeck on in an episode called, Where Design and Software Meet: Rethinking B2B Creative, Process and a Lot More. We talk about (among other things) this idea that the sales pipeline just appears over the horizon. I ask Chris, in his experience as a serial entrepreneur, is sales pipeline development that easy? He says... "It's prospecting, generating leads is always something which requires work. Even if you have something that's awesome that everyone wants, you need to really educate your market, educate the leads, and put a lot of work into that. I actually was reading a quote recently that was saying especially for startups, people always overestimate how hard it is to build the product and underestimate actually how much effort it is to acquire customers. I think that's very true. It takes a lot of work to get your pipeline and get lots of customers for your product." Listen in below and/or read the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Mon. 4/15 at 6am PDT. Sales Pipeline Radio is sponsored and produced by Heinz Marketing on the Funnel Radio Channel . I interview the best and brightest minds in sales and Marketing.

In addition to being the Co-Founder & CEO of CaliberMind, Raviv is also an angel investor and mentor at Techstars and a regular speaker at marketing & AI events. ----more---- We're talking about how he sees a disconnect between Demand (buyers) & Ops (users) of data & analytics platform. For a full transcript, go to the Heinz Marketing blog . Some highlights: Your data strategy is your B2B growth strategy (quick overview of the paper) Without a clear and concise data-driven marketing strategy, B2B marketers lack the ability to effectively acquire, organize, analyze and translate customer information into actionable insights. But what does an effective B2B data-driven marketing strategy look like? Understanding what needs to be accomplished is the first step in developing an effective data-driven marketing strategy. For B2B data-driven marketers, a top priority is basing more decisions on data analysis. Most Critical Challenges? Integrating data across platforms and enriching data quality and completeness are the most critical challenges to achieving data-driven marketing success Marketing data is a marketing problem! Not devs, not IT - 100% marketing But data is hard, data is not sexy - so marketing is pushing it out - over 90% of B2B marketers outsourcing all or part of data tasks (Ascend2) But high performing marketers are doing the opposite, they license data and analytics tools and train their team to bring data capabilities in house Most of the reasons why marketing can't prove value and impact are data-related, yet we prefer to outsource this - lead qualification, ICP score, account scoring, lead routing are all data problems before they are marketing problems. To be successful with ABM you need - Data, Account Planning, Content, Execution, and Measurement - yes ABM is a data challenge, not a media challenge... No wonder that marketing and sales ops are spending more than 80% of their time in spreadsheet hell on marketing data wrangling, exporting/ importing, lookups in Excel whatnot There is a disconnect between the C/VPs and Ops inside the marketing org - Demand looks at pipeline sourced/ influenced/ ops created - but Ops don't give a hoot about it, they care about operational efficiency, workflow automation, the data integrity - they want to get out of spreadsheet, but guess what? - most ops don't have the budget to solve this problem, the biggest budget is demand and that budget mostly goes to programs, not to data and analytics - but guess what? Without data and analytics, you can't measure programs, you can't multi-touch attribution, you can't track engagement and orchestrate demand between channels..so that's changing, according to Gartner for the first time in 2018 analytics is the biggest spend in Marketing, more than social, more than content - why? Because without data and analytics we are going to see marketers continue to lose their jobs and go home…

Jill Konrath’s career is defined by her relentless search for fresh strategies that actually work in today’s sales world. ----more---- Listen in to hear how someone with a Bachelors in Education ended up getting into sales, let alone becoming a keynote speaker in one of the world's preeminent sales offices. Jill shares some great insights including the inspiration behind her books. "It starts with a problem. It always starts with a problem and in every case and every book I've written it started with a problem that I faced. And when I face it initially, I get really discouraged and I bat my head against the wall and say, oh I'm so stupid. I can't figure it out and then I finally realize that it's not just my problem, but other people are struggling with that issue, too. And then I go to work and it becomes like a puzzle to me and how to solve it. So, I actually dig in and wrestle with the material myself til I can figure out what works today. And then, again I guess because I do come from teaching roots it's real important for me to make it easy for people to understand. PEOPLE ARE BUSY! "When people are this busy, you have to fundamentally shift how you do things in order to peak your curiosity, make them stop and listen and actually then respond to you and say, hey I'm interested in learning more." STRIVE FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT: "One thing I always try to stress with people is that they really need to stop and think about what they're doing and they need to strive for maximum impact in every single customer interaction and that customer interaction may be a 20 second email message. Maybe a 60 word ... or 20 second phone message, a 60 word email message, you know, but what can you do to have the maximum impact and I think way too many people in sales just say, make more, do more, send more, have more meetings. But, to me the smartest thing to do is ensure that every single interaction provides some value and moves you toward things" Keep listening to hear Jill's perspective about women in sales and a lot more!

Prior to this position, he served as Vice President of Inside Sales and Marketing at SingleHop, which was acquired by INAP. His previous experience encompasses a broad spectrum of marketing, sales, operations and business management positions, including management roles at Phoenix NAP and Secured Servers.

23:49Matt Gorniak , Co-Founder of G2 Crowd joins us as we talk about the power of reviews in B2B products. Most of us use reviews either intentionally or subtly in so many decisions we make, whether we're buying something on Amazon, buying an app on our iPhones. But reviews are just as important for complex B2B technology decisions. In this episode we talk about how reviews might be a little bit different for those complex decisions, but also what Matt has learned about how important they are, and how directly linked they are to preference and decision making.…

Read the full transcription on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Mon. 12/24/18 ".... we went from using data quite literally and quite directly to now using information to make conjectures and to create new experiences for customers. I think maybe five years ago, the big buzzword in B2B was maybe "social selling," "social media." A couple years later "account based marketing" and then we start talking about AI and I think there has been a lot of interest in artificial intelligence, a lot of discussion. I think inevitably that initial frothing turns into, "Well what exactly is it and how do we use it?" And you guys really have been at Absolutdata at the forefront of this. Listen as Anil talks about what AI means to him and about some of the practical applications that can help more marketers or more business leaders wrap their arms around how to leverage it. ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsor, MailTag.io.

27:00Read the transcript starting Mon. 12/17/18 on the Heinz Marketing Blog . We were thrilled this last time to talk to David Priemer (a repeat guest) in an episode called, "Cerebral Selling: How Science, Art and Metrics Combine to Exceed Your Sales Quota". To get a glimpse of our conversation, enjoy this excerpt: Matt: if you think about it like science, there're scientific systems. Whether it's, you know, the water table, or the meteorological systems, they're all based on certain amounts of rules, but those systems do tend to change over time. David: If you're kind of an astute observer, you can see when those systems change. Certainly, over the course of the last 20 years, the world of sales has changed quite a lot. I just love applying kind of the lens of the curiosity, the why, to the world of sales. I just love seeing it evolve. That's kind of how I harmonize these two worlds. Matt: I love that. You know, this is changing, of course, but there traditionally have not been a lot of educational paths in sales. We're starting to see some sales certificate programs and some sales management and sales mastery programs in higher education, but I think when you think about the people that tend to get into sales, it's a different brain set. Right? I mean, it's the left brain versus right brain. That scientific approach to selling, I would argue, is in the minority. I would say, in the follow-up question I was going to ask you before, is around just the connotation of science in selling. I think you've got a lot of folks that believe, that are in sales, that sales is an art, that if you put science behind it, then you lose what works on the periphery to build relationships and rapport, and you lose the uniqueness that each individual selling opportunity requires. But knowing your work, and seeing the work that you write, I know it's really, it's not one or the other, it's a combination of both. Talk a little bit from the science side how that really does help sellers. Then, marketers listening, as well, differentiate their work and impact. A big shout out to our sponsor, MailTag.io.

23:57I asked Patrick Morrissey, "What are some of the keys you find to building really high performance marketing teams that can deliver results?" He said... "It's an interesting question because I think everybody comes to the notion of team a little bit differently. But I would say, particularly in marketing that, marketing is fundamentally a team sport. And not just on your team, but the extension of marketing into sales. So, there's a few different things I would call out in terms of focus on teams that I have found to be successful over time." ----more---- "One is as a general rule when you're trying to put together a team, I would have a strong bias for athletes versus experts. Because, the pace of change across every business and across every market is so quick now, that there are a lot of people who may be an expert in a particular sub-discipline, who can't transfer those skills and can't help other members of the team. So one, I'd look for athletes not experts and people who can really work to solve the problem." "The second thing, when you're thinking about marketing is really having an understanding and a focus on learning to try to understand the customer in the market. And a lot of that comes out of my heritage in product marketing, but also I think there's a lot of bias that people, particularly on the sales sides of this discussion have, that marketing does a lot of hand waving, doesn't really actually understand what's going on. And so you need people across the entirety of the team to really be focused on, not just the mission of the company and trying to produce a result, but really understanding the customer in the market." "And then the third thing I would say... specifically that helps inform teams, is look for people who have sales DNA. Because more often than not, the ... Having lived the life of somebody in sales and you had a great example, Elissa Fink was on with you a couple weeks ago from Tableau. She is a great example that proves the pieces in my mind, which is people who started early in their career or who have had experience in selling, have a lot more empathy for the realities of what it takes to generate an opportunity to get a deal done. But, also what results look like as measured by revenue, and I think all those things are important." Listen in to hear more ! More from Patrick: I am a growth-driven marketing, sales and business development executive in high technology focused on building high performing teams, building lasting relationships and delivering results. I am also an advisor to innovative start up companies. I run marketing, alliances and channels at Altify. We focus on making the lives of sales people better by delivering great software that help strategic sellers win the deals that matter.

If you're in sales, he is a household name. He literally wrote The Little Red Book of Selling and has published a number of different books. He is the author of the recently published ... in fact, published last week ... came out, Truthful Living: The First Writings of Napoleon Hill . Here's just a snippet: ----more---- I recognized that you cannot be a great sales person until you become a great person. Those are the benchmarks. You can't become a great dad, until you become a great person ... or a great mom, until you become a great person ... or a great secretary, until you become a great person. Whatever it is that you're looking to do, you have to be a person before you become an it. And attitude and beliefs are some of the fundamentals in that process. Very few sales courses teach you about self-confidence. They're trying to teach you some technique that pisses other people off. Find the pain. What's your pain? The answer is, "None of your business." So, stop tryin' to extract things outta me. Why don't you try and find the pleasure?

What a great conversation with Andrew Halley, CMO of Allego! When you think about the conversation you have with your customer, you know what's produced from marketing is just a fraction of what actually gets communicated and so creating integration across the company to improve consistency and value of that conversation is one thing. Getting feedback from the field, feedback from those people that are in front of the customers more often.. is another. Marketing isn't talking to the customer nearly enough by default as sales and account management is. I think you can tell first hand which companies tend to prioritize function, which of them tend to prioritize the usability, and which of them are just flinging out features. We talk about Andrew's perspective on this and how one can balance style and function in a B2B application.... and a lot more, listen in! A big thanks to our sponsor, MailTag.io.

26:12Listen in as we hear from Sedric Hill, Entrepreneur, Author, Thought Leader, Business Coach, Consultant, Sales Expert. The journey to creating a more profitable business can only begin when people identify specific knowledge and skills that are necessary to skyrocket their businesses. In order to do so, they must learn how to unlock implicit cognitive skills present in everyone. Consciously applying these skills will help to increase profitable sales as well as overall personal success. In order to avoid wasting valuable selling time, business professionals must harness what the author calls “the expert advantage.” Simply put, they must learn how to communicate persuasively with clients, prospects and other stakeholders. Connecting with their audience is simple once the essentials that most influence successful outcomes are learned. Cognitive-based skills for communications are rarely taught today, especially in the sales and marketing fields. Hill, however, believes such skills are critical for anyone whose success depends on persuasive communication. He proposes two methods for increasing these mental skills, one cognitive and one app-based, that enhances skills with minimal time and effort. Novice and experienced salespeople can both learn from the strategies Hill presents in this book. Additionally, trial lawyers or people in any field requiring the use of persuasive communication will find Hill’s suggestions beneficial. Succes http:// s in selling is not reserved for the experts; with the right tools, anyone can cross the bar to the next level of sales performance.

Matt Heinz talks with Laura Vogel. "....a lot of event managers these days ... are great at being able to produce an event. But that's just step one. And what they really have to do is get butts in seats. ... how do we get the people there? How do we make sure we've got 2000, 3000, 5000 people in the room because what's really happening is you think about the spring or you think about the fall, especially if these are marketing events, there has never been more competition than there is today. "...So the number one thing I tell people is they have to really start with their marketing campaign when they start thinking about their content. I think what people tend to do is they start thinking about the marketing far too late in the game, and they really have to take it way back. And it really starts to happen when they're thinking about their content which tends to come first. They start thinking about their content a year in advance and they say, "okay, what's going to be our theme?" "How are we going to create our agenda?" And "How are we going to do those things?" When you do that, that's when you're thinking about your marketing. Because those two things go hand in hand. Listen in to also hear about the importance of the website and networking and more!

28:27In this episode, "Here’s Your Event Marketing Playbook for 2019" we talk to Kristen Alexander , CMO at Certain . Recently we worked together on an Event Marketing Playbook . We'll talk about that. We're going to get tactical, we will talk strategy. It's real, practical advice to drive real results in organizations that are doing events. I think a lot of people when they do events just do the same old stuff. You get a sponsorship, you get your booth, you go through the motions, and then you're wondering where the revenue is and why you spent all that money. Kristen will talk about some of the pitfalls she sees from event marketers that aren't getting the kind of ROI they need from events today. We'll also double down a little bit on the discussion of data strategy for events because I don't think a lot of event marketers and event managers are thinking about what their data strategy is. We'll also talk about some examples of why managing data, using the right data is so important to getting results out of an event. Read the entire transcript on the Heinz Marketing Blog I want to give a huge shout out to today’s sponsor, MailTag.io. MailTag.io is a Chrome browser extension for your Gmail that allows you to track and schedule your emails.

23:23Click to Listen - You'll be surprized! Join Matt this week with his guest, Adam Schoenfeld, CEO of Siftrock, Inc. Adam explained, "When you send emails, marketing emails or prospecting emails on the sales side, you get a lot replies back. Auto replies, bounce backs, out of office messages and of course real people sometimes raising their hand or asking questions. Typically, what we've found is that marketers and marketing office folks handle that manually. So, we built some machine learning that works for all those replies, figure out what they are and then help you take action. Whether it's cleaning up your database when somebody's left the company, that's really kind of a classic example. You get that "no longer with company" response. Or servicing a new lead for the sales team when you get a referral or correctly routing a human response so that you can take action. So all those things that we do by basically more intelligently managing the reply emails that come back to your marketing campaigns." Matt then asked about list hygiene, "Let's talk a little bit about that related to database hygiene. People are moving all the time, we've heard that B2B database can deteriorate at a rate of three to five percent per month. Not even per year, per quarter. So to have some of that auto updated for you is significant, not just for the efficiency of your list, but for keeping yourself off of spam, block list and more." Adam was on top of this. "Deliverability is a big thing and then making sure you're getting to the right person with the right phone number, and the right email address as all that stuff's changing around. Those email replies have a lot of information that can help with that. Automating this and integrating into the major marketing platforms like Marketo, HubSpot, Eloqua et cetera saves so much time over manual processing of this information. This isn't the whole solution to keeping a clean and updated database, but it can be a big piece of that sort of broader initiative everybody's thinking about right now." Adam's Mount Rushmore of Sales, Marketing, Start Ups: "I'll give you a couple CEOs that have influenced me either sort of from afar or more directly. Dave Hersh, who's CEO of Jive and who is an investor in Simply Measured has influenced me a lot. While we haven't interacted a ton, maybe once at year we sit down in person. Every one interaction has just been so impactful. I'm huge fan of Gainsight right now, I think they're the gold standard in B2B marketing and Nick Mehta there is incredible. I'd put him on the Mount Rushmore. I'm going to give a shout out to my co-founder Chris Hundley because he built this company on his own and actually closed business as a technology-centric guy. I think that's just an incredible feat to build a sustaining business all at once on your own."…

A lot of B2B sales professionals are doing long term, complex sale efforts, " The 60 Second Sale " sounds a little like "12 minute abs." I ask Dave "Is it really that easy? Can you really do it this quickly?" "The 60 Second Sale is about creating a condition under which, if your best client, the person who trusted you most in the business world, had a need and you called them up, it would only take you 60 seconds to close that deal. So, if you are adding value to somebody who already trusted you, you could close a deal in 60 seconds if you met those exact conditions. The book is about creating those conditions every single time. It's about taking what everybody would think of as a one-call close environment and making the relationship the one-call close." "Another way to look at it is to take the individual moments of truth that occur throughout the day with our clients and with the evangelists who are out there recommending our services, and winning each of those individual moments of truth. So, you create an environment that is one of trust, and you make sure that you're always focused on the wants and the needs of your clients, and you can close a deal in 60 seconds." Listen in to hear Dave's thoughts on how to build the relationship, to create those conditions and needs.

Listen in to hear how someone with a Bachelors in Education ended up getting into sales, let alone becoming a keynote speaker in one of the world's preeminent sales office. Jill shares some great insights including the inspiration behind her books. "It starts with a problem. It always starts with a problem and in every case and every book I've written it started with a problem that I faced. And when I face it initially, I get really discouraged and I bat my head against the wall and say, oh I'm so stupid. I can't figure it out and then I finally realize that it's not just my problem, but other people are struggling with that issue, too. And then I go to work and it becomes like a puzzle to me and how to solve it. So, I actually dig in and wrestle with the material myself til I can figure out what works today. And then, again I guess because I do come from teaching roots it's real important for me to make it easy for people to understand. PEOPLE ARE BUSY! "When people are this busy, you have to fundamentally shift how you do things in order to peak your curiosity, make them stop and listen and actually then respond to you and say, hey I'm interested in learning more." STRIVE FOR MAXIUM IMPACT: "One thing I always try to stress with people is that they really need to stop and think about what they're doing and they need to strive for maximum impact in every single customer interaction and that customer interaction may be a 20 second email message. Maybe a 60 word ... or 20 second phone message, a 60 word email message, you know, but what can you do to have the maximum impact and I think way too many people in sales just say, make more, do more, send more, have more meetings. But, to me the smartest thing to do is ensure that every single interaction provides some value and moves you toward things" Keep listening to hear Jill's perspective about women in sales and a lot more!

28:33Great guest this week-- Marilyn Cox , Vice President of Marketing and CRM at The Second City. In this episode, "Practical MarTech: How to Make Marketing Technology Work for You (Not against You)" Marilyn gives us some great lessons from improv as well as active listening for B2B sales and marketing. The biggest thing, one of the core principles of improvisation is the idea of yes-and. So it is the idea of recognizing and building on the ideas of others. And a lot of us don't want to admit it, but we do have a knee-jerk reaction to shoot down an idea when somebody brings something up. And so the idea of yes-and is really at the root of everything we teach, and work on. Many other improv principles are built into this. So the idea of bring a brick and not a cathedral-- that you are not having to do this by yourself. Rely on the team and the ensemble you have around you... there are just so many really fantastic ideas that help you engage and interact with not just those people internal to your organization, but also people that you are trying to reach, you're trying to communicate to, and those you are trying to better understand . I also ask Marilyn how she built her marketing technology stack at Second City. How do we build what we need to manage our business? and to build our own scalable predictable sales pipeline for that?--What were your priorities? When you've been given a blank slate, how do you approach that? Read the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Mon. 9/2 6am PST.…

They've been recognized as one of the top twenty sales training companies in the country by Selling Power magazine and featured as the Sales Training Company to Watch List by trainingindustry.com. Lots of accolades for the team. They just released a new report (The Salesperson's Perspective on the Impact of Sales Training) that I'm actually pretty excited about. It isn't just about training and best practices but really showcases salespeople's perspective on the impact sales training can have. One of the questions that often comes up from sales leaders is, "Okay, so we've done sales training in the past, but sometimes it's been effective." Sometimes it has a lasting effect, but in many cases, it doesn't necessarily have a lasting effect, and so we wanted to better understand what's really important to salespeople and what's the business impact associated with sales training. We know that companies are investing more than ever in sales training. There was a stat by Training Industry showing sales training now is estimated at a 2.5 billion dollar market globally, and it's grown by one billion over the last seven years. So, you've got these two--I'm going to call almost mixed signals coming out. Sales leaders who are saying, "Is there really a strong correlation between great sales training and business results?" And at the same time, you have this huge increase in spending, so obviously we think companies are pretty smart. They wouldn't be spending more if it wasn't impacting their business, but we wanted to really get the sales rep's perspective and understand what is it that makes for a great training program and how does it actually impact business. And we had some pretty interesting results . Listen in now and find the full transcript on the Heinz Marketing blog starting Monday, 8/20 at 6am PST.…

26:27Click and Listen to Joe Our guest is Joe Chernov. He's the Chief Marketing Officer at @InsightSquared . He also lends a hand to startups and wildlife causes when he can. Diving right in, he says, "It's unbelievable what you can get done if you don't care if you get fired!" Talking about his experience at Eloqua, "If we were to publish something that is valuable, we could edge our way into deeper coverage by the media." Scorecard - even though we're not supposed to keep score: 16 articles after spending 2 years developing a product and writing up the release. An infographic got 800 articles. Very eye-opening. Why it Matters Joe says, "Content marketing is what happens when a marketing department shifts its thinking from knowing that the company that signs their paychecks needs to shift to the customer signs the paycheck." That shift in mindset turned collateral into an ebook, a self-serving whitepaper into a more valuable, lengthy piece of content. Point: The opportunity to leverage the correct content through the active sales process: Best content ideas come from your sales people. Conversations with sales will be the source of the best ideas. Example: They publish a issue of their "blog" once a month that includes a recap of 4-5 articles on similar content. Each month has a new theme which helps to focus the articles on that topic. He's talking about a sales team creating an editorial calendar. You heard Matt right. Point: Personas as a driving force for effective content. Personas help reduce the size of your universe so that as a writer or content creator, your writing universe is smaller which helps guide the writing and allow it to be less daunting. But, he cautions against being way too specific with a persona. "Susie Seller" is just a role in an organization. We don't need to know which college she attended or coffee brand she prefers, unless you are selling coffee. People have a hard time comparing their content metrics to their business metrics. The very best way to shine a light on the value of your content is to look at lead quality. Your lead or transactional content success could be measured by downloads, subscribers. These are higher value than typical leads. You want to know did they close? Did they move deeper into the funnel than other sources? Lead Quality tops the list for this comparison and measurment.

22:16We pack a lot into this episode as I talk to Nick Jordan , CMO at Logic Inbound . Among other things, I ask him what are some of the challenges you've found in trying to build a marketing community? Sometimes we try to produce marketing events, and well-meaning people don't always come out in the way that some other groups, like IT and others, might do. So why do you think that is, and what are some keys to actions when trying to build that active marketing community? What are some of the ways you, or some of the formats of community you find the most successful? Is it lunch and learns, is it networking happy hours? Are there certain topics and formats that tend to work better in terms of getting marketers together? Nick is all about building community amongst marketers. Check out his answers as well as his number one growth hack for growing communities-- it's something everybody can go ahead and start implementing, as soon as they're done listening to this podcast! More from Nick: "I'm passionate about developing and growing businesses. A million side projects, a few startups, and one ride on a rocket ship as an early employee at BitTitan. Today I leverage my experience building businesses to help companies identify and execute on growth opportunities @ Logic Inbound."

24:54Give a sales person a PowerPooint to help them sell and they'll screw it up everytime. They spend hours adding to the deck's slides in increasingly small type. They key is to give them something useful to begin with and make it easier to customize without putting the viewer to sleep. Listen to the expert Alli McKee walk you through steps to create a winning support system for your salespeople. Alli McKee , Founder and CEO at Stick has a Bachelors from the University of Virginia in studio art. She has an MBA from Stanford. Her original oil paintings have been featured in a variety of publications and exhibits. She's spent almost two years in Africa creating new design thinking curriculum, and then a couple years ago she decided, "Well, what the hell, I'll just go back to the valley and I'll create a start up." It seems like we're focused sometimes more on the math [in marketing] or more on the quantitative and not enough on the design. Alli talks to us about the impact and importance just generally of good design in driving businesses today. Along the way, if you don't already know, find out what a "word wall" is. You'll also hear Alli's view on creativity: I think about creativity is that it's really just collecting things, collecting information, and putting it together in interesting ways. It's really not about having this creative talent, it's more having access to that inventory from which you can invent. So the way that Stick works is we're trying to give you a jumpstart on that creative process. It's built around this behavior that I've seen in real life as a designer working with business people, a lot of people, just like yourself, saying, "I'm not creative. I need help with this." But the second you give them a first draft, they always have feedback. Always. Right? So what we've tried to do is build that first draft into a tool. So you can put in your content, Stick automatically generates that first draft for you, and then enables you to act on that feedback in a few clicks in seconds rather than a two day email exchange. Listen in to see what doing improv has to do with sales and marketing... and a lot more! You can find the transcript and recording of this episode on the Heinz Marketing blog on Monday, 4/2/18.…

23:59In this episode, we talk to Category Leader, Peter Isaacson , CMO at Demandbase about How to Manage Influences, Analysts and More! You can read the full transcription of this episode on the Heinz Marketing Blog starting Monday, 7/2/18. Here's just a taste of the converstation: Matt: The easy thing to do on this conversation would be to talk about account based marketing. Demandbase is one of the leading providers of account based marketing technology to B2B companies. You guys do some amazing work in the space, but I've been particular impressed with the work you and your team have done with influencers and to create influence among third party experts in the market. So I wanted to spend a little time talking about that because I know a lot of our listeners on the sales and the marketing side, there's a lot you can do in terms of direct marketing, but every one of us we're marketing to people where there is a network of organizations, of individuals, of analysts, and others that are influencing their decision making as well. I think probably the best example of that for you guys more recently is the Forrester Wave that recently came out. Can you just kind of level set what was the wave about and how was Demandbase placed there? Peter: Sure. So this is a real milestone I think certainly for Demandbase but also for ABM as a category and certainly want to get into kind of category creation and the role influencers play in that. But this has been a multi-year journey for us, not just overall within ABM certainly but also with Forrester to really kind of work with them, to help them understand account based marketing, why it's getting so much traction, why customers are getting engaged in it, things like that. Really for a category to really stand as a true category, you need a lot of things to happen, but one of the key milestones certainly is Gartner doing a magic quadrant and/or Forrester doing one of their waves around the category. That's what happened. They just published it about three weeks ago. ABM platforms specifically and Demandbase thankfully was established as the clear leader up into the right for the ABM platform category. So very exciting. Listen in for much more!…

23:57Another great episode! The full transcription will be on our blog starting 6/18/18. I asked Patrick what are some of the keys you find to building really high performance marketing teams that can deliver results? He said... "It's an interesting question because I think everybody comes to the notion of team a little bit differently. But I would say, particularly in marketing that, marketing is fundamentally a team sport. And not just on your team, but the extension of marketing into sales. So, there's a few different things I would call out in terms of focus on teams that I have found to be successful over time." "One is as a general rule when you're trying to put together a team, I would have a strong bias for athletes versus experts. Because, the pace of change across every business and across every market is so quick now, that there are a lot of people who may be an expert in a particular sub-discipline, who can't transfer those skills and can't help other members of the team. So one, I'd look for athletes not experts and people who can really work to solve the problem." "The second thing, when you're thinking about marketing is really having an understanding and a focus on learning to try to understand the customer in the market. And a lot of that comes out of my heritage in product marketing, but also I think there's a lot of bias that people, particularly on the sales sides of this discussion have, that marketing does a lot of hand waving, doesn't really actually understand what's going on. And so you need people across the entirety of the team to really be focused on, not just the mission of the company and trying to produce a result, but really understanding the customer in the market." "And then the third thing I would say... specifically that helps inform teams, is look for people who have sales DNA. Because more often than not, the ... Having lived the life of somebody in sales and you had a great example, Elissa Fink was on with you a couple weeks ago from Tableau. She is a great example that proves the pieces in my mind, which is people who started early in their career or who have had experience in selling, have a lot more empathy for the realities of what it takes to generate an opportunity to get a deal done. But, also what results look like as measured by revenue, and I think all those things are important." Listen in to hear more ! More from Patrick: I am a growth-driven marketing, sales and business development executive in high technology focused on building high performing teams, building lasting relationships and delivering results.

24:35Today, in the absence of our scheduled guest, our producer Paul Roberts and I talk about B2B pet peeves. We have a great time. JOIN US! Just one example: There have been books written about a predictable, repeatable, scalable engine of growth. A lot of venture capitalists have read those books and have then told their early stage companies, “If you just hire enough sales people and make enough phone calls, the math works out.” You have to start somewhere, so you start with the math and you start with the plan, but sales is never that easy. One of my pet peeves is someone who has never done sales, and never managed a pipeline, and never even carried a number say, “I read a book. Therefore, this is the way that we're going to sell,” right? I think that: A. books are great and books are important, but I think you've got to try new things. If everybody in the world just follows that book, then all of a sudden it becomes a little tough. Listen in to hear about other B2B pet peeves.... What are yours?

Look for the full transcription on our blog starting Monday, 5/28/18. In this episode we're talking about a mid-year review. As Sam says, "It all starts with the plan. So whether you're planning for next year or whether you're looking at what's going on in real time, measuring performance in real time or if you're doing that kinda half year look back, to me, it all starts with the plan. That's your roadmap. You set out your intentions. You set out where do we wanna spend time and money. What do we expect to get out of our time and money? And now you get that chance to compare results and hopefully adjust and improve. Brian asks Sam several great questions! Listen in to hear Sam's replies! When marketers are at both the strategic levels, CMO level and even operational level, are reviewing that data, what are some of the best practices that you see with your clients and even that you recommend in how they manage their budgets against the plan and make decisions on where to invest their resources? What should they look at in terms of reviewing their plan? How can they look at the data that they've been collecting and analyze that performance up to this point and use that to make plan adjustments and moving forward? Do you feel that marketers are getting better at measuring their performance against revenue? The revenue attainment and what they're actually doing to drive results. What are your thoughts on that and how should marketers consider using that when adjusting for a strong second half? Should marketers wait for a mid-year point to measure what's working? How often should they analyze what's working with a marketing performance management approach and solution and make those go, no go, or any sort of adjustment decisions, pulling investments, adding investments? More from Sam: I am an analytically driven marketing professional who has experience as a marketing leader, industry analyst, and customer success manager at a marketing technology company. My special talent is the ability to focus on details or specifics to execute, but also step back and distill this information at a higher, more strategic level.

21:05Our guest, Byron Matthews is the President & CEO of Milller Heiman Group . Check out Byron's new book, Sales Enablement: A Master Framework to Engage, Equip and Empower a World-Class Sales Force Highlights from this Episode: Companies investing in sales enablement is up 26% from last year, with 59% of organizations that now have a sales enablement function. Yet, only 34% of organizations are achieving their sales enablement goals. (CSOi Report) B2B companies can assess their sales teams’ gaps and opportunities in relation to each component of sales enablement and look for the alignment (per the Clarity Model). Sales enablement cannot be put in a box like other functions. It is cross-functional, and orchestrates all enablement efforts across all “boxes,” including its alignment with the customer journey. Defining sales enablement: Sales force enablement is a strategic, collaborative discipline designed to increase predictable sales results by providing consistent, scalable enablement services that allow customer-facing professionals and their managers to add value in every customer interaction. More about and from Byron: Anyone familiar with Miller Heiman Group (brands include: Miller Heiman, Huthwaite, AchieveGlobal, Impact Learning, Channel Enablers, and CSO Insights) knows that championing the customer experience is a main tenet of their mission—and also one that I happen to share.As President and CEO of Miller Heiman Group, I bring a broad depth of experience in growing, leading and providing guidance to the best organizations globally surrounding their sales processes, as well as the leading operations that support the mission of a great sales organization. Throughout my career, I have sought out challenges and answered demands that call for singular vision, energy and creativity. I have consulted and collaborated with industry leaders throughout the world and crafted new funnel-management solutions, compensation plans, sales methodologies, and sales-management processes, as well as developed and implemented sales-operations capabilities, sales structure, and territory design, for such Fortune 500 companies as Microsoft, AT&T, Sprint, and Aflac. Personally, I am passionate about the education of sales as a discipline. In collaboration with university faculty and administrators, I am working to drive a nationwide effort to incorporate the study of sales into graduate and undergraduate academic environments. I teach and volunteer my time as a guest lecturer for universities including Cornell and Harvard Business School and contribute to published academic and industry research on sales strategy and concepts.

In addition to being the Co-Founder & CEO of CaliberMind, Raviv is also an angel investor and mentor at Techstars and a regular speaker at marketing & AI events. We're talking about how he sees a disconnect between Demand (buyers) & Ops (users) of data & analytics platform. For a full transcript, go to the Heinz Marketing blog starting 4/30/18. Some highlights: Your data strategy is your B2B growth strategy (quick overview of the paper) Without a clear and concise data-driven marketing strategy, B2B marketers lack the ability to effectively acquire, organize, analyze and translate customer information into actionable insights. But what does an effective B2B data-driven marketing strategy look like? Understanding what needs to be accomplished is the first step in developing an effective data-driven marketing strategy. For B2B data-driven marketers, a top priority is basing more decisions on data analysis. Most Critical Challenges? Integrating data across platforms and enriching data quality and completeness are the most critical challenges to achieving data-driven marketing success Marketing data is a marketing problem! Not devs, not IT - 100% marketing But data is hard, data is not sexy - so marketing is pushing it out - over 90% of B2B marketers outsourcing all or part of data tasks (Ascend2) But high performing marketers are doing the opposite, they license data and analytics tools and train their team to bring data capabilities in house Most of the reasons why marketing can't prove value and impact are data related, yet we prefer to outsource this - lead qualification, ICP score, account scoring, lead routing are all data problems before they are marketing problems. To be successful with ABM you need - Data, Account Planning, Content, Execution and Measurement - yes ABM is a data challenge not a media challenge.. No wonder that marketing and sales ops are spending more than 80% of their time in spreadsheet hell on marketing data wrangling, exporting/ importing, vlookups in Excel what not There is a disconnect between the C/VPs and Ops inside the marketing org - Demand looks at pipeline sourced/ influenced/ ops created - but Ops don't give a hoot about it, they care about operational efficiency, workflow automation, the data integrity - they want to get out of spreadsheet, but guess what? - most ops don't have the budget to solve this problem, the biggest budget is demand and that budget mostly goes to programs not to data and analytics - but guess what? Without data and analytics you can't measure programs, you can't multi-touch attribution, you can't track engagement and orchestrate demand between channels..so that's changing, according to Gartner for the first time in 2018 analytics is the biggest spend in Marketing, more than social, more than content - why? Because without data and analytic we are going to see marketers continue to lose their jobs and go home…

The “bifurcation” that is happening and how it is primarily around two key areas of sales enablement: sales readiness and sales content management. We will discuss what this means. We will discuss how this bifurcation is shaping the sales enablement tech landscape. How sales enablement is a critical component of marketing alignment in some key areas: Helping in the management of content. Ensuring reps can use assets effectively in their buyer interactions. Helping ensure lead conversion through better initial buyer conversations. Working hand-in glove with product marketing to ensure reps are ready to position enhancements and new products. We will wrap up by talking about the group that seems always lost in the alignment discussion – first-line managers, and how we need to think about providing assets for managers to use in coaching reps. More about our guest: Jim is an established thought leader and business analyst from his former role as the head of SiriusDecisions' sales enablement practice. He has researched and presented to business leaders around the world on advanced concepts in optimizing sales talent, maximizing rep productivity, world-class sales leadership and sales enablement technology. Jim has published more than 200 research briefs and engaged audiences at hundreds of conferences, forums and executive presentations.…

24:54Alli McKee , Founder and CEO at Stick has a Bachelors from the University of Virginia in studio art. She has an MBA from Stanford. Her original oil paintings have been featured in a variety of publications and exhibits. She's spent almost two years in Africa creating new design thinking curriculum, and then a couple years ago she decided, "Well, what the hell, I'll just go back to the valley and I'll create a start up." It seems like we're focused sometimes more on the math [in marketing] or more on the quantitative and not enough on the design. Alli talks to us about the impact and importance just generally of good design in driving businesses today. Along the way, if you don't already know, find out what a "word wall" is. You'll also hear Alli's view on creativity: I think about creativity is that it's really just collecting things, collecting information, and putting it together in interesting ways. It's really not about having this creative talent, it's more having access to that inventory from which you can invent. So the way that Stick works is we're trying to give you a jumpstart on that creative process. It's built around this behavior that I've seen in real life as a designer working with business people, a lot of people, just like yourself, saying, "I'm not creative. I need help with this." But the second you give them a first draft, they always have feedback. Always. Right? So what we've tried to do is build that first draft into a tool. So you can put in your content, Stick automatically generates that first draft for you, and then enables you to act on that feedback in a few clicks in seconds rather than a two day email exchange. Listen in to see what doing improv has to do with sales and marketing... and a lot more! You can find the transcript and recording of this episode on the Heinz Marketing blog on Monday, 4/2/18.…

We have a great discussion... at one point I tell Manny, "You're opening up the kimono a little bit, things that not everyone thinks about or has to experience but I appreciate you sharing..." You'll love Manny's answer to this question: "What should companies be looking for? What should sales leaders be looking for in platforms to ensure they're getting results and ensure that it's additive to their productivity versus negative?" You'll also hear what he thinks is one of the most common mistakes he sees sales operations teams make. And, listen to the end to hear some great examples about a couple of their core values: Grit and Diversity. More about our guest: Manny co-founded Outreach in 2014 and now serves as CEO.

28:35I'm very honored to have Jill Konrath join me to talk about her latest book, More Sales, Less Time . Jill Konrath’s career is defined by her relentless search for fresh strategies that actually work in today’s sales world. Listen in to hear how someone with a Bachelors in Education ended up getting into sales, let alone becoming a keynote speaker in one of the world's preeminent sales office. Jill shares some great insights including the inspiration behind her books. "It starts with a problem. It always starts with a problem and in every case and every book I've written it started with a problem that I faced. And when I face it initially, I get really discouraged and I bat my head against the wall and say, oh I'm so stupid. I can't figure it out and then I finally realize that it's not just my problem, but other people are struggling with that issue, too. And then I go to work and it becomes like a puzzle to me and how to solve it. So, I actually dig in and wrestle with the material myself til I can figure out what works today. And then, again I guess because I do come from teaching roots it's real important for me to make it easy for people to understand. PEOPLE ARE BUSY! "When people are this busy, you have to fundamentally shift how you do things in order to peak your curiosity, make them stop and listen and actually then respond to you and say, hey I'm interested in learning more." STRIVE FOR MAXIUM IMPACT: "One thing I always try to stress with people is that they really need to stop and think about what they're doing and they need to strive for maximum impact in every single customer interaction and that customer interaction may be a 20 second email message. Maybe a 60 word ... or 20 second phone message, a 60 word email message, you know, but what can you do to have the maximum impact and I think way too many people in sales just say, make more, do more, send more, have more meetings. But, to me the smartest thing to do is ensure that every single interaction provides some value and moves you toward things" Keep listening to hear Jill's perspective about women in sales and a lot more!

24:25Join Matt and Jeremy Korst. He's a mentor, the Executive VP and CMO at Avalara. Establishing an effective and actionable brand strategy is no easy task. It takes a dedicated team of strategic and creative experts who have a strong sense of customer empathy. It requires outside-in thinking, so it’s often quite valuable to bring in some external expertise to help facilitate the process. Now, while the strategy takes a tremendous effort to get right, the company-wide implementation and execution is even more important. Some of what they'll be covering includes: Creating a new category. How do you get prospects to be interested in doing something a new way. The importance of brand. How a brand strategy is much more than branding.

26:27Our guest today is Joe Chernov. He's now the Chief Marketing Officer at @InsightSquared . He also lends a hand to startups and wildlife causes when he can. Diving right in, he says, "It's unbelievable what you can get done if you don't care if you get fired!" Talking about his experience at Eloqua, "If we were to publish something that is valuable, we could edge our way into deeper coverage by the media." Scorecard - even though we're not supposed to keep score: 16 articles after spending 2 years developing a product and writing up the release. An infographic got 800 articles. Very eye-opening. Joe says, "Content marketing is what happens when a marketing department shifts its thinking from knowing that the company that signs their paychecks needs to shift to the customer signs the paycheck." That shift in mindset turned collateral into an ebook, a self-serving whitepaper into a more valuable, lengthy piece of content. Point: The opportunity to leverage the correct content through the active sales process: Best content ideas come from your sales people. Conversations with sales will be the source of the best ideas. Example: They publish a issue of their "blog" once a month that includes a recap of 4-5 articles on similar content. Each month has a new theme which helps to focus the articles on that topic. He's talking about a sales team creating an editorial calendar. You heard Matt right. Point: Personas as a driving force for effective content. Personas help reduce the size of your universe so that as a writer or content creator, your writing universe is smaller which helps guide the writing and allow it to be less daunting. But, he cautions against being way too specific with a persona. "Susie Seller" is just a role in an organization. We don't need to know which college she attended or coffee brand she prefers, unless you are selling coffee. People have a hard time comparing their content metrics to their business metrics. The very best way to shine a light on the value of your content is to look at lead quality. Your lead or transactional content success could be measured by downloads, subscribers. These are higher value than typical leads. You want to know did they close? Did they move deeper into the funnel than other sources? Lead Quality tops the list for this comparison and measurment.

It's about absolutely nothing. ----------------------- Even though this is a replay, it's timely as it mentions the upcoming Dreamforce. Matt will be presenting 5 minute walk from Moscone.

23:23Join Matt this week with his guest, Adam Schoenfeld, CEO of Siftrock, Inc. Adam explained, "When you send emails, marketing emails or prospecting emails on the sales side, you get a lot replies back. Auto replies, bounce backs, out of office messages and of course real people sometimes raising their hand or asking questions. Typically, what we've found is that marketers and marketing office folks handle that manually. So we built some machine learning that [inaudible 00:02:50] all those replies, figure out what they are and then help you take action. Whether it's cleaning up your database when somebody's left the company, that's really kind of a classic example. You get that "no longer with company" response. Or servicing a new lead for the sales team when you get a referral or correctly routing a human response so that you can take action. So all those things that we do by basically more intelligently managing the reply emails that come back to your marketing campaigns." Matt then asked about list hygiene, "Let's talk a little bit about that related to database hygiene. People are moving all the time, we've heard that B2B database can deteriorate at a rate of three to five percent per month. Not even per year, per quarter. So to have some of that auto updated for you is significant, not just for the efficiency of your list, but for keeping yourself off of spam, block list and more." Adam was on top of this. "Deliverability is a big thing and then making sure you're getting to the right person with the right phone number, and the right email address as all that stuff's changing around. Those email replies have a lot of information that can help with that. Automating this and integrating into the major marketing platforms like Marketo, HubSpot, Eloqua et cetera saves so much time over manual processing of this information..This isn't the whole solution to keeping a clean and updated database, but it can be a big piece of that sort of broader initiative everybody's thinking about right now." Adam's Mount Rushmore of Sales, Marketing, Start Ups: "I'll give you a couple CEOs that have influenced me either sort of from afar or more directly. Dave Hersh, who's CEO of Jive and who is an investor in Simply Measured has influenced me a lot. While we haven't interacted a ton, maybe once at year we sit down in person. Every one interaction has just been so impactful. I'm huge fan of Gainsight right now, I think they're the gold standard in B2B marketing and Nick Mehta there is incredible. I'd put him on the Mount Rushmore. I'm going to give a shout out to my co-founder Chris Hundley because he built this company on his own and actually closed business as a technology-centric guy. I think that's just an incredible feat to build a sustaining business all at once on your own."…

24:21Matt welcomes author and Senior Editor of the Harvard Business Review, Daniel McGinn to talk about his new book, " Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed ." A bit about the book from the author: The book looks at the science and practice of how professionals can learn to use techniques used by Olympic and pro athletes to get in the right mindset before they perform. Chapters look at the use of pep talks, motivational music, trash talk and rivalry, techniques to boost confidence and reduce anxiety, and even drugs to help you get in the mindset to perform. If your job involves pitching ideas, high-pressure negotiations, public speaking or presentations, or make-or-break sales calls, the techniques in the book should help people bring their A-game. The book has only been out a few weeks, but I've started hearing from companies such as Oracle that are buying the book for their sales teams because they think the ROI for people who learn these techniques is obvious. I'm also hearing from entrepreneurs who agree with Brad Feld, who said "This book is a gift for entrepreneurs or anyone else who pitches ideas for a living."…

26:07Some of the questions Matt and Andy Crestodina discussed were: Why is SEO perceived as such a scary thing and does that perception need to persist for people to do it right? That is an excellent question that is very rarely asked. I think SEO has kind of a reputation as kind of a shady kind of industry, with kind of a checkered past, because the people who buy SEO service, they tend to be a very low information buyer, which means that the people who provide the service can get away with some less than perfectly ethical tactics. When the people who hire you to do something have no clue what you're going to do, that creates an atmosphere, an environment where it's ripe for people that are less than perfectly standup professionals to actually succeed. For example, people who hire SEOs often pay $3,000 or $5,000 or $10,000 a month, think they need to keep paying that money to keep ranking. That's never true, which means that there's a lot of SEOs that can kind of rest on their laurels and keep cashing that check, even though they might not be doing a whole bunch of stuff after the first few months, other than making the major improvements. On the topic of writing business books: the book becomes another reformatting of your content that is ultimately intended to drive demand, qualified demand, and preference and differentiation as well, right? The book just barely pays for itself. I think it sold like not even 10,000 copies total over the last however many years, but in a B2B sales context, which we all are passionate about this topic of sales, it's a great leave-behind. It's sort of a $10 business card strategy. We build websites. You meet with four companies to build your website. One of them left behind a book that blows your mind with everything you need to know. It's the driver's manual for the website and that gives you a competitive advantage in sales. It's extremely effective in that way. If I wanted to use it more for PR, I could just send it to people who I think might include me in something they're working on or invite me to their event. If I was more deliberate about trying to get sales, I could just send it to different professors who teach marketing hoping they might include it in their syllabus. But yeah, it's just another format for content. It's something that's part of a family of content. Your job is to create traffic champions through your content. You want to create a couple more traffic champions because there's always a few things that have a massive disproportionate effect on your total number of visitors. If your job is to create a couple more traffic champions knowing that that's going to create just way more brand awareness for you, then you don't want to just keep making more medium quality things. You want to go make a couple more great things. Listen to the full replay to get the rest of the insights and tactics.

26:58Our guest is Mark Granovsky, President and CEO of G2Planet which does Event Marketing and applies data science to a growing field. When people think of event marketing, they don't think of the latest and greatest and most technologically advanced campaigns in the world. I think when people think about big data, they think about marketing technology. They think about lead nurture programs. Then you have events which in many cases have kind of lagged. Talk about where event marketing is today in the 2017 B2B world and where do we need to take it to make sure that it aligns with the way that we're managing sales and marketing today. Mark answered, "I think it has been a laggard, and I think it's quickly catching up. I know when I first got into this business one of the motivating factors was every financial officer I ever talked to was frustrated with their event spend. They didn't know what value it was bringing. Tons of money going down that channel, but they didn't really understand the benefit they were getting out of it. Early on event marketing was very logistics focused, tactical, processing names, registrants coming to an event, putting badges on people. It was kind of pretty basic meat and potatoes. As marketing analytics have evolved and people have gotten smarter about looking at data and taking data and turning it into information, the events industry and the discipline has certainly caught up. " Matt later asked, "How should marketers should think about this in a complex sales cycle, right? I mean if you're not doing transactional sales, if you assume that the white paper didn't generate the sale, what do you recommend for marketers that maybe ... It's mid-August, but a lot of people are already thinking about 2018, to start to think from a strategy and a planning standpoint of how to do we incorporate events and event marketing technology into their mix." Mark says, "The event marketing discipline or the portal that we call it, it really is ... It's not the head on the dog. It's the body on the dog, right? It's got to follow the marketing objectives, the campaigns, the purposes. These things are manifesting inside of the events activations, right? Whatever those corporate marketing initiatives are, bright people are sitting down and they're spending time and they're saying, "Okay. How does this manifest inside of my event activation campaigns," whatever those objectives might be. Then once the link is created from the strategy office in the house down into the activation fields, event marketing being an activation field, now we're getting into planning and activities that support meeting of those goals whatever those goals might be.

Matt Heinz and Sales Pipeline Radio producer, Paul Roberts talk about Profit Center Marketing. Here's how you know if you are doing it right. IF you can related to any of the next three points, it's time to make a change: If your marketing team is more focused on picking the right t-shirts for an event, rather than driving opportunities into the sales organization. If your marketing department resembles an arts and crafts department. When you report on operational metrics as opposed to business metrics. CEOs don't care about clicks and retweets, about your open rates and probably don't care about your qualified leads. So changing the thinking to changing it up to become a profit center requires this type of question: What do we have to do to get a blank check from the CFO of marketing? "Give me a dollar and I'll make you three." THAT will gain their interest and they will then ask, "How long can you do that? Can you do it every month?" THIS is how you get the blank check. Keep listening. Matt will give you a to-do list to head toward this goal.…

25:45The buying committee internally is getting larger and more complex. We are talking about account based marketing and strategies to get into the fold of these more complex groups of decision makers. What is Account Based Marketing to you? Jessica says, "Account Based Marketing (ABM) is really understanding who is your target audience and building a marketing mix around going after that target audience. And, along the way, building your sales force in the mix so you can align the sales messages with the marketing strategy. THis helps them close more deals, faster and with a larger contract value. It makes your entire sales orgnaization more efficient. Instead of throwing them over the wall and hoping they make it, ABM lines up the budget behind those targets and budgets with these goals." A number being quoted regularly is that six people are typically involved in the purchase process. Many times it's way more than that in enterprise companies. You need to focus on the person who is actually signing the contract, but you have to gain buy-in by the committee. This reuqires that sales brings the same message developed by marketing.

He was drafted without knowing how to advance a meeting to the next stage. He created this method as an outcome of his own experience. Statistically, what happens is no question is asked to advance the sales. 50-90% of sales meetings end without a salesperson asking for any commitment, depending on the industry. This number is way higher than those who ask "incorrectly" - at least they ASK. What is it in the psychology of sales or people that prevents them from asking for the sale?

Some of what LeadMethod tackles is the fundamental challenge unique to channel partners distribution vs. opt in, direct method. To get the critical feedback to better understand who is where in your pipeline. This is a challenge they tackle to add to your efficiency. There are so many different elements that companies are creating in order to come together to collaborate and communicate that sometimes it falls apart. How do you get enough data to draw conclusions on what is actually working with partner networks? It becomes a black hole of information. Engaging the distribution group and collecting the critical feedback --THIS is key. You have to look at why CRMs were built. Understanding what the the customer bought, who they bought it from; and then it morphed into a lead management system. But they take a lot of training.

Matt didn't see any solution to accomplish what he needed, so he built it. It's looking for insights into the internal buying machines. Surprising enough you can gain a lot of insights from "out of office" messages. You will basically be given the org chart of the company. They looked at trigger events and campaigns around bounces. A bounced email happens when someone leaves the company. "Matt's no longer with the company, but Sally is here..." This gives you a lot of information and opportunity for an introduction and you can look for Matt at his next company, which is probably in a similar position. You can get two contacts from the one bounce. Who did Matt replace? Where did Sally leave to take Matt's old job? This is 4 contacts from one bounce. This is about unpacking the information in the body of the email, this is not scraping. This is human written information in the body. This was just in the first 8 minutes. You need this replay!

Lara told us, "It's important to bring the augmented intelligence piece to help humans perform better. An example - a sales rep is working 4-5 deals critical for the quarter, with our software they can be notified if a change is noticed affecting their influence on the sales decisions by looking at more than past data." Matt then asked if there is there a difference between augmented and predictive analytics and intelligence. Lara gave a quick overview: Predictive - predicts what will happen in the future based on a lot of data. This involves high quantity of data. Augmented takes knowledge and context into providing a solution and be able to flag insights to alert the human to be more effective and generate results based on the data and knowledge. This has been the missing piece - the CONTEXT. This helps guide the next best step. Catch the replay of this show to get more insights from Lara Shackelford.

26:28Our guest today is Joe Chernov. He's VP of Marketing @InsightSquared . He also lends a hand to startups and wildlife causes when he can. Diving right in, he says, "It's unbelievable what you can get done if you don't care if you get fired!" Talking about his experience at Eloqua, "If we were to publish something that is valuable, we could edge our way into deeper coverage by the media." Scorecard - even though we're not supposed to keep score: 16 articles after spending 2 years developing a product and writing up the release. An infographic got 800 articles. Very eye-opening. Joe says, "Content marketing is what happens when a marketing department shifts its thinking from knowing that the company that signs their paychecks needs to shift to the customer signs the paycheck." That shift in mindset turned collateral into an ebook, a self-serving whitepaper into a more valuable, lengthy piece of content. Shifting strategies from serving the executive to serving the buyer changes everything. Q. Is there a concern we are flooding the world with content so much so that it will no longer work at some point? A. There is more content marketing happening which makes it more and more difficult for signals to be heard, but that's only the surface. 50% of a company's content never gets used. It puts more pressure on originality. We've rested on our laurels a bit. Definitive guides, whitepapers - been done years ago by the industry leaders. Q. What are the ways you distinguishing your efforts at InsightSquared to stand out? A. Trying to apply some of the ethos that makes good content marketing - serving the BUYER. Applying it to direct mail. Rather than a coffee mug or t-shirt with logo on it. Something more original. If we close loosely - demo, in funnel - we try to accelerate them coming back. Postcard: Come Running Back - link on back to enter your shoe size. Gets them a pair of Nikes WITHOUT logo. The deal isn't done. Think creatively. Be memorable.

23:26Nationally respected business etiquette coach, Arden Clise is our guest for this episode. She has just published her book, "Spinach in your boss' teeth" available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and on her site: CliseEtiquette.com . This is a great gift for your team or for you. Many of the tips SHOULD be obvious, but perhaps you weren't paying attention when your mother tried to clue you in. She covers dining, online etiquette, business tips to make your value shine. Her specialty is assisting clients to confidently and comfortably navigate business situations. Some of what we covered in this episode includes these highlights: When is it appropriate to use your digital device in a meeting? Boomers are really bothered by people pulling out devices in meetings, texting, etc. If you are in a meeting, do not pull out your phones in the meeting. Start with that. If you are leading the meeting, set the tone at the beginning of the meeting. "Please put your devices away during this meeting." When you pull devices out, not only do you miss subtle clues and information, it signals to them that the phone is more important than the person in front of you. This should be obvious. It's become a pacifier for people in meetings - something to fidget with. We know some people use it as a note taking device.If you have to use your computer/device - let them know that's what you are doing - taking notes and then ONLY TAKE NOTES - DO NOT get distracted. IMPORTANT FACT: Use pen and paper - you actually learn it better, retain more AND there is not doubt you are taking notes and not pretending to take notes while checking the game scores or Facebook. When you are using a laptop/tablet to take notes, you are not able to be as present and you miss some of the non-verbal cues. Multi-tasking is a myth. Non-verbal cues can be the difference between building the relationship and wasting everyone's time. On the phone: Without body language cues, we have to rely on our TONE on the phone - a warmer tone - really helps. SMILING while you are talking. It immediately puts warmth in our voices. Sounds corny, but it works. PLEASE JUST STOP saying my name every few seconds - it is SO phony - it makes us cringe. Use the name of the person ONCE perhaps twice, beginning and end, but that's it. Interrupting people. Without body language you can't tell when they are wrapping up. Let them pause and end before you jump in! You will get your chance. A bit of air in a conversation can draw more attention to what you say next. Use that to your advantage. Dining etiquette: Find out if your guest has food restrictions. No sense taking vegans to a steakhouse. Don't put the decision of "where" on them. Suggest a great restaurant for them after you know their restrictions or preferences. Make the arrangements - make it easy on them and arrive early. Avoid the awkward check grab - have cashier/maître d run card as you're leaving and arrange with server ahead of time. Round table full of settings - which parts are yours, which are your neighbor's? Simple thing to remember: BMW - Bread (left) meal (middle) WATER (glasses on the right). Networking question: Hug or handshake? Ask, "Can I give you a hug?" - let them make a move - if you already know them and have met. Handshake is ALWAYS appropriate. Who is the book for? ANYONE who has ever wondered how to handle etiquette dilemmas in the workplace. Amazon or Barnes & Noble or CliseEtiquette.com to buy the book. Visiting Arden's site will allow you to sign up for her newsletters, too. You'll have to listen to the full episode and TAKE NOTES.…

25:43Jim Obermayer sitting in for Matt today with guest, Ken Thoreson, of Acumen Management Group. Their firm is focused on execution, discipline, accountability to the sales organization. He has just published his fourth book in a series: SLAMMED: for the first time sales manager. The other three in the series are: Recruiting High Performance Sales Teams Leading High Performance Sales Teams Creating High Performance Sales Compensation Plans Some of what is covered in the book includes: How do you on-board a new sales manager? Within 6 months, new sales managers are usually slammed. Leadership and management skills playing together don't usually get taught. Lifespan of a sales manager is about 18 months.Marketing will go back and write a new plan, but the sales managers get fired. New sales managers seem to focus on micro issues, tracking numbers and activity, and forget they need to have emotional leadership and inspire people to execute. It is the manager's job to instill work ethic, intensity, high levels of performance and interest in creating high levels of results. The sales manager typically will ask, "What are you going to do today? What are your goals for the day?" The stunned sales person stammers a defensive reply, "I'm going to get on the phone...I'm going to call prospects.." At the end of the day, what determines the level of success you had for the day? On AcumenManagement.com there are a ton of free tools, including, Top 40 actions a sales manager must activate to create predictable revenue." Jim asked Ken,"What is the biggest challenge you see a new sales manager has in the first 2-3 months?" First, you have to set priorities based on the situation. Assume you are walking into a turnaround role - sales are poor...observe, reflect, make a few changes so the team sees that things are getting fixed. Then you go about setting priorities, goals and then expressing your vision of what you want to achieve over the next 90 days to 6 months. Most act too quickly or chew off more than they can achieve. If you are walking into a role where you are replacing someone successful. Then it's sitting back again and understanding the players, building trust first. Ken finds that there is a lot of talk in struggling organizations about "them" and "us" or "those people." There is a line between WE as a team. That line needs to be broken down immediately for the vision, direction and belief of where you are going. This is building culture. Listen to the full episode to get more insights.…

Content Marketing, the term didn't exist 12 Years ago - let's review - We used to create a 10 second TV ad to send consumer to a website to fill out a form. We've evolved into industry, job level, geographic filters, rather than simply send the inquiry to IT. The precision of targeting has become so much more sophisticated. There is then a splintering of attention. We are talking MICROSECONDS for the initial and ongoing conversations. "The noise and clutter are at insane levels." NetLine addresses the HUMAN side of business. Problem-solving centric. You speak to the millisecond mindset. Perhaps you convey this with an image that displays the problem-solving you will do for them in the ONE glance to get them to stay and read more or take another action. As you've grown in NetLine, what have you learned? "DELEGATION is key. People take it for granted that it's easily done. This is something that would impede my success if I insisted on controlling all aspects. This includes being more communicative in my team and with our partners." 9:45: Where are you seeing some of these things going - precision of campaigns, splintering, attention span? "This backs into the stage of the consumer lifecycle. Video is certainly really hot right now, but it's not predisposed to lead generation." He also covered infographics, user expectations that a lot of this should be ungated. eBook success has been huge. If they are done well, they take complicated topics and distill them into humanized value points with more personality." This is the evolution of whitepapers.

Her latest book, Predictable Prospecting, is the result of the thesis of page 42. She spent five years developing this book by working with clients in the field to consolidate and fine-tune, grow the formula, scientifically focus to get benchmark of conversion rates and ratios that will add up to a predictable revenue framework.And then honing in on specific pieces, buckets, and components to put this channel in as part of a mutli-channel marketing effort to generate revenue in targeted accounts with the highest likelihood of closing with the highest revenue potential. Blending the knowledge of marketing, flipping it sideways and pulling out the pieces that will resonate with those at the top of funnel - this is one stream - OUTREACH for large accounts that close quickly.

24:50Mark Hunter is here to talk about sales. His new book: High Profit Prospecting, and his best seller give him the credibility that you need to listen in, take notes. We dove right in. If you have to discount the price to close the deal, that means you are prospecting the wrong people. You can't make a WalMart shopper into a Nordstrom Customer. Social Media without Social Community is Social Stupidity. It's a conduit. You must have something to share that is of value. Think about this, too - how to leave an 8-11 second voice mail message. Stop embarrassing yourself. Matt reminds us that phone and email are NOT dead. The phone is the most valuable tool he uses. Stop being afraid to prospect and defaulting to social media. Don't hide behind social posts, tweets, likes, and emoticons. PICK UP THE TELEPHONE. It's an amazing tool when used right. You should learn one piece of information about them in the first call and begin to engage them. Do you have call or prospecting reluctance? Why? You don't have to close them in the first call. Your objective is to earn the right, privilege and respect to be able to call them again. COLD calling is dead. NOT CALLING, COLD CALLING is dead. You need to know something about them, their industry, their pain. There are valuable tips in this episode, questions you need to ask yourself and your reps. About Mark Hunter: ( LinkedIn ) ( Twitter ) ( Website ) Mark Hunter is "The Sales Hunter." He helps companies and salespeople find and retain better customers.

28:00Guest host, Robert Pease went through this pipeline performance checklist. Get your notepad out for this one. A few of the steps included: 1. Understanding our target customer. What makes the best customer for the product you sell? What makes for the longest term customer? The goal is to get into the consumption patterns of this optimal customer. You have to be stingy with sales time and efficient with marketing spend. You don't want to reach out to marginal prospects. 2.Knowing what a qualifying customer looks like. It isn't just the person who has downloaded your most recent whitepaper. They are most likely not ready yet. 06:08 3. The message that you use. Speaking to your ideal customer profile to attract the qualified leads you are looking for. Understanding their problem and provide the solution they are seeking. Understand a day in the life, the pressure - LISTEN first. Be patient with the overall sales process. 07:00You can't close in the first contact. 07:15 11:15 4. Understanding your Conversion rates. It's not about quantity. Don't like the numbers? It's either you are not giving them what they expect on the landing page, your content stinks or they were not your target in any way. 5 visits and 3 conversions is better than 100 visits and 1 conversion. This is simple. 17:15 5/6. Follow up and Engaging context. If you tell someone your going to do it, do it. If you promised to follow up with information, do it, send it.

26:13Listen in as we hear from Sedric Hill, Entrepreneur, Author, Thought Leader, Business Coach, Consultant, Sales Expert. The journey to creating a more profitable business can only begin when people identify specific knowledge and skills that are necessary to skyrocket their businesses. In order to do so, they must learn how to unlock implicit cognitive skills present in everyone. Consciously applying these skills will help to increase profitable sales as well as overall personal success. In order to avoid wasting valuable selling time, business professionals must harness what the author calls “the expert advantage.” Simply put, they must learn how to communicate persuasively with clients, prospects and other stakeholders. Connecting with their audience is simple once the essentials that most influence successful outcomes are learned. Cognitive-based skills for communications are rarely taught today, especially in the sales and marketing fields. Hill, however, believes such skills are critical for anyone whose success depends on persuasive communication. He proposes two methods for increasing these mental skills, one cognitive and one app-based, that enhances skills with minimal time and effort. Novice and experienced salespeople can both learn from the strategies Hill presents in this book. Additionally, trial lawyers or people in any field requiring the use of persuasive communication will find Hill’s suggestions beneficial.

Traditional channels are not dead: phone, email. Social selling is a refined and updated way of selling. Jill lives by a few hashtags, this one, in particular: #knowthybuyer - you need to understand the world in which your buyer lives: demographics, industry. She saw the changing buyer, how they were transforming by doing research on the web. leveraging content to self-educate. Buyers are allergic to being sold. She tells us, "My job is to help you, not sell to you. My job is to BUILD relationships of credibility and trust. The modern seller has to be one that is willing to help." Find Jill's original content via LinkedIn and all things Jill on JillRowley.com Leveraging other people's content from the industry. Great way to build relationships and share posts of value. Best of the best curated content. Learn from her example - sharing other people's content broadens your views, knowledge and shows your value to your readers and those who produce the content you share. What does that mean for traditional channels like phone and email? Prospects are used to the old way of: Call, email, call, email. And they respond with: Ignore, delete, ignore, delete. Give them something VERY specific to that individual, company or industry that gives an insight - something of VALUE to them - then they respond.

21:24Let's start with what channel marketing is. It's called many things: local marketing, indirect marketing. It's someone that sells your product outside of your organization. It is a severely under-resourced segment with most marketing departments. If you pay a person to sell, and they hit the market with a number/goal, you know you either got your investment in them back, or surpassed, or lost the investment. When you go to indirect model: Product/thought leadership at one company or selling and marketing at another company, you now have two companies to align. $1000 invested - what does that turn into? Did it convert to $10000 or is it $1000 I didn't get back? This makes companies hesitant to invest in it. So, typically companies put one person on channel marketing. Example of a $2.2B company with 35K employees, 40% of revenue comes from channel, and they have ONE marketing resource. How can you be effective with that type of opportunity? For Example: marketing resource, Janet, is reactive to channel requests and does random acts of marketing. Everything she does is NOT strategic. She needs help with scale and a platform and infrastructure so they can market on their own. Cobrand, launch. Averetek does this in a frictionless way. This allows Janet to drive more through the channel because they can get their own materials. Listen to the show to find out where you and your company may be missing opportunities by not allocating resources effectively. This can be HUGE. About our guest: Peter Thomas is the founder and CEO of Averetek. This team of marketers, engineers, and product developers seek new ways to engage channel partners through software and services. Since its beginning in 2000, Averetek has grown to manage more than 70,000 reseller organizations and 300,000 registered users. In Averetek’s work with brands, Peter has found that companies focus too much time and money on the top 10% of their channel partners. The remaining partners simply need the right nudge to shift from opportunistic to strategic sellers. When brands devote more attention to the 90% segment, they drive more leads, close more sales, and grow their business. Peter combines his observations with partner behavior data from the Averetek platform, sharing this knowledge to help clients attract, engage, and monetize their partners more effectively.…

It combines content and demand generators together. What are you seeing in the field and trends? Seeing overall that B2B marketers believe that content is more important than ever. 84% of B2B marketers are looking to increase their investment in content this year. 55% of marketing budgets are spent in content investment. But they are saying their content is under-performing. Why? Possible answers are: 1. Their content isn't very good. 2. The experience surrounding the content isn't peforming. 3. OR they are not able to see the results to properly measure the success. For content to be successful, it definitely needs to be engaging. To do this, need to consider the medium - read, interact - either way, it needs to be insightful, relevant and something other than what the "other guys" are producing. The content has to be action-oriented. You have to have a piece of content that you expect something to happen at the end.

Some of the points they are covering are: Results from research highlighting the most important content features Examples of successful, sales-converting content campaigns Key B2B content trends for 2017 What are you seeing in the field and trends? Seeing overall that B2B marketers believe that content is more important than ever. 84% of B2B marketers are looking to increase their investment in content this year. 55% of marketing budgets are spent in content investment. But they are saying their content is under-performing. Why? Possible answers are: 1. Their content isn't very good. 2. The experience surrounding the content isn't performing. 3. OR they are not able to see the results to properly measure the success. For content to be successful, it definitely needs to be engaging. To do this, need to consider the medium - read, interact - either way, it needs to be insightful, relevant and something other than what the "other guys" are producing. The content has to be action-oriented. You have to have a piece of content that you expect something to happen at the end. This should be common sense, but it is often forgotten in the rush to meet the content quota and flood the venues. Get an actionable list of insights from Shannon from the full episode. Listen now. About our guest: Shannon Dougall has been called, “a marketer of the future.” She is an adventurer, scientist, and artist in the field of marketing. She had been compared to a Swiss Army Knife, using her experiences and learnings towards an all-in-one type of demand generation and customer acquisition that includes storytelling, blogging, lifecycle marketing, digital marketing, SEO, paid advertising, email marketing, social media marketing, positioning, pre-product/product marketing, app store marketing, content marketing, growth hacking, and analytics just to name a few.

23:49Some of the questions Matt asked our guest, Ronald Brock included: Is sales something you’re born with? Is it something you can learn? And I think the perspective you take in this book is very much, I am quoting here you say you can take someone who is untrained, otherwise someone ordinary, sort of an average person who is starting in sales and transform them into someone of in your words – notable superiority. And so this idea includes a number of best practices and or secrets if you will to do that, is that still inaccurate representation? He starts out by telling us, "Well, every salesman did during my time period; reading a few books about selling then having no knowledge whatsoever and developing my own style. And what I discovered was it was fine but it worked for me and not for the people that I was trying to turn into salesman when I became a sales manager. And that involved me moving into developing a format that anyone could use rather than just the what you think of as the born salesman. So if you take someone who has very little charisma, they can be turned into a great salesman." Another tidbit from the show: Matt covered, "On one hand I think there’s a lot of great new intelligence and understanding of how sales operates in an increasingly complex world but on the other hand we are still people selling to people and I think some of the fundamentals of selling from Dale Carnegie, from Zig Ziglar can sometimes get lost. Are there any best practices or advice you would give people the sort of balance those two approaches, sort of the traditional with the new?" Ron says, "Well those particular complications dealt heavily with how to develop yourselves to be the kind of person that people want to deal with. It’s referred to as a halo effect. If you are a really attractive person, in some ways that means you’re also honest and forthright so somebody you should deal with." You'll have to listen to the episode for the full story and insights. Ronald Brock is the author of the book Gamebreaker: A guide to world-class selling.

Some of what they discussed included: Where are the places that you are putting bets on to drive marketing results in 2017? What are some of the best practices you see working that can help B2B companies continue innovate and be successful and proactive on the acquisition side but really to take a full lifecycle, full lifetime value approach to the customer? What does it take to run and execute marketing in that fast-paced environment where you are expecting and hoping, the entire company wants fast results but that doesn’t always jive with buying cycles, doesn’t always jive with just what it takes to do marketing, right? How do you balance that tension? What about the cultural changes that are sometimes involved in helping organizations, helping sales, helping executive team, helping a board rethink how to look at what marketing is doing more on the quality versus quantity standpoint? Were there any growing pains or I guess like migration pains as you moved the way marketing is perceived from a volume-based story to a quality at conversion-based story?

At what point did you start to realize that lead-based wasn’t going to cut it anymore? One of my biggest concerns with the term ABM is the “marketing” part of it, but “everything” feels to broad. How do you think about that? Culture is a big part of making ABM work internally. How do you encourage people to make the right internal moves to be successful with ABM?

Marketers are in a world of big data. We've gone from nothing to overload. So there is a lot to help marketers in high tech and not in high tech of how to best use the data available to them. "How do I interpret the data?" Perhaps a better question is, "What answers and knowledge am I seeking to move forward?" You need to organize the metrics to interpret the metrics. The questions of what you seek are critical. Do we have the fundamental metrics that the business needs to understand the health of the business?

26:51Our guest this episode is Don Gregory, the founder of On-Target Consulting. Some of the points covered are: The importance of gathering market insights, marketing intelligence, doing research to understand what the markets is interested in. About the importance of having those insights at the front of the process to guide and help navigate product development, message development, et cetera. If you are highly confident that you know your customer, you know your marketplace, your competition, emerging trends with your consumers, you can argue that you don’t need to get insight early on in the process of going to market and figuring out how to take products and services to market. The reality is that most companies and most leaders really don’t have that insight. What makes it worse is that many of the companies in my opinion who are providing market research are providing facts and data, they are really not driving to try to understand the consumer, what the consumer is looking for whether it be B2B, B2C, it really does not make any difference, the process is the same. Matt asked, "Why is it so important to make sure you are approaching this research right? Maybe a different way of asking that is what it is sometimes dangerous to have company insiders do their own research?" Don responded with, "Their bias to start with. And they don’t know that many… I do the research completely inside and go out I bring a natural bias to me, with me as I do that investigation. And the rigor has to be impartial and has to be neutral. When I am looking for an answer to a question, I have to have integrity in process and in actions to make sure that I work an honest answer to what I am looking for versus – here is my assumption on what the answer is therefore am going to ask the question to assume and get the answer that I am looking for. And it is subtle because when you are on the inside I don’t think you understand that bias that you carry and that’s why I think the rigor for having somebody or some organization from the outside who has the expertise in looking in at business situations as well as the business savvy to really look and understand sort of what the key questions are. Once you understand what they key questions are, the areas of investigation are, then to effectively find out the answers to those questions." Listen to the full episode to learn more.…

24:18Matt's annual, "What he read in the year" episode is here. This is a great place for a filtered reading list. Some familiar authors in this list and some you may not have had a chance to read. I love the One True Barbecue and how it applies to business. Have recommendations? Add them in the comments. Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade by Robert Cialdini Anything on the science of influence is absolutely fascinating to me – whether it’s about influencing fans, customers or myself. Cialdini’s book Influence is a classic, and this sequel/prequel is a must-read to understand how your sales team (and marketing/content teams) can set the conditions for influence and conversion better in 2017. The Only Sales Guide You’ll Ever Need by Anthony Iannarino If it weren’t for all the other great sales books on the market (this year and in recent years), I’d say the title of this book is 100% the truth. Anthony is one of the very best sales bloggers and speakers working today, and this book summarizes much of his very best advice. I highly recommend expanding your sales library, but if there is just one book on the shelf, this should probably be it. The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute by Zac Bissonnette A fascinating and fast read, with numerous business lessons included. What differentiates a trend from a fad? How can you tell you have something sustainable and repeatable? The story of the rise and fall (both fast & dramatic) of the Beanie Baby craze is chronicled with a great combination of business advice and juicy insider stories. A fun read with value. High-Profit Prospecting: Powerful Strategies to Find the Best Leads and Drive Breakthrough Sales Results by Mark Hunter The most important, eternal, fundamental sales skill is prospecting. Whether you’re working ice-cold leads or warm inquiries from your marketing team, you’re still prospecting. Activity and volume isn’t enough. This book features new trends and research, plus a proven framework of habits to accelerate your sales pipeline-building results in 2017. More Sales, Less Time: Surprisingly Simple Strategies for Today’s Crazy-Busy Sellers by Jill Konrath Every one of Jill’s books have been fanastic, but this might be her best yet. She’s previously covered how to work with crazy-busy buyers, now she addresses the problem every single sales rep I know has – how to make best use of their time to increase active selling time, external impact and results. The One True Barbecue: Fire, Smoke, and the Pitmasters Who Cook the Whole Hog by Rein Fertel I’ll give away the punchline – according to Rein, the only “true” barbecue is 1) whole hog, 2) cooked over wood in 3) a masonry pit. A difficult combination for amateur BBQ enthusiasts to replicate, but this amazing book covers the history of whole-hog BBQ while simultaneously covering the history and anthropology of the Carolinas. If you like BBQ or history or good story-telling, you’ll like this book. Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight What separates this book from so many other business autobiographies is its focus, candor and detail. It’s not an ego-driven puff piece, nor does it sugar-coat what growing a business is like. The book starts with Phil’s inspiration to start the business, and ends before the IPO. In between, he highlights the numerous times Nike almost didn’t make it, almost ran out of money, almost went out of business – yet somehow figured out (or stumbled into) how to keep moving forward. It's a story of humility and gratitude. One of the best books I’ve read on the real story of entrepreneurship in a long time. The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eli Goldratt This book was originally written in 1984, but I re-read it earlier this year to reinforce Eli’s Theory of Constraints. Think about your business today – what’s the #1 constraint keeping you from growing, that when alleviated would help everything else work more efficiently? This book is a great example of business fiction (if you’ve read Five Disfunctions of a Team , you know the format). Spinach in Your Boss’s Teeth: Essential Etiquette for Professional Success by Arden Clise This book is a differentiator. It covers what all too often is a lost art of habits, manners, mannerisms and more that get noticed, differentiate you as someone special, and can material help you win more business. Maybe not on your “mainstream” business reading list but it should be. Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life by Eric Greitens Published as a set of letters to a struggling and fellow former SEAL, this book pulls deeply from ancient literature and lessons on what resilience means, how it applies to our lives, and how to apply it to make ourselves better – personally, professionally and in all points between. This is the last book I read this year and might be my favorite of the bunch.

25:45In this replay, we are very excited to talk with Jessica Fewless who joins us from DemandBase. We are going to be talking about the increased complexity of selling into B2B marketing; into B2B targets; the fact that the buying committee internally is getting larger, more complex. More than just picking off the right targets and speaking more precisely to the right people, organizing consensus inside of an organization to help increase sort of focus and velocity is what Matt thinks is a key part of ABM as well. He asked Jessica to talk a little bit about what that means and sort of that internal buying committee and how effective ABM can make sense of that. Jessica told Matt,"this is really where sales can feel the most support from marketing is around this entire buyer’s committee because typically what they are going to be doing is they are going to be focusing on that person with the budget authority, need and the time light, right? That whole BAND model, because that’s a person who is going to sign the contract, right? So that is generally where their efforts are spent; one – because that’s the only person they actually have access to. So sometimes they act as a gatekeeper to the rest of that stakeholder committee but two – they only have so much bandwidth so they need to focus on that person who eventually is going to sign their contracts." It was such a rich episode, we felt a replay was in order. About Jessica Fewless, DemandBase After 3.5 years at Demandbase (and 20+ years in B2B Marketing), Jessica has seen it all when it comes to Account-Based Marketing. Playing an instrumental role in Demandbase’s rollout of an ABM strategy, and educating over 1000 B2B marketers on the principles of ABM over the last 18 months, Jessica has become a resident expert. From building the right target account list and understanding the impact of ABM on marketing programs, to selling ABM within an organization and finding budget for your strategy, Jessica has worked with organizations to build, hone and measure the success of their own ABM strategies.…

He is a Sales Acceleration specialist who helps organizations reach peak performance fast by optimizing talent, leveraging training to cultivate high-performance sales culture, developing leadership and coaching skills, and applying more effective organizational design. When Matt asked how the salesforce looks today he suprised us with his answer, "It looks the same as it did three years ago, five years ago - the things sales people are doing are the same things they did then. But, there are more ways to fill your pipleline and channels - more opportunities than ever before. Older salespeople are benefitting, but can be overwhelmed with the addition of so many places to interupt the day of prospects and connect." Channels are being clogged, though, because they are so readily available. Matt asked, "How do you break through using these tools?" Jeb tells us, "It's always been hard to break through, even when we had email and door knocking, before social became core channels. Prior to that - doors, phones and networking events." Listen to this - the story of Richard from the UK and how he was persistent until he got through. He KNEW Jeb was a buyer, he KNEW.
