This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to create interactive and personalized product demos that prospects will love. My guest is Yoav Vilner, Co-founder and CEO of Walnut.

Yoav is a remarkable tech entrepreneur. He was the founder of one of the world’s first tech marketing companies that helped 600 startups grow and a founding CMO of an anti-bullying startup. 

He has been active as a startup mentor with accelerators by Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Yahoo, and the U.N. and as a writer for top outlets such as Inc Magazine, Forbes, CNBC, Entrepreneur, and more.

In August 2020, he co-founded Walnut - which he leads as the CEO. 

With Walnut - they pioneered a category that enables sales pros to deliver interactive and unbreakable product demos. 

Then they launched a movement for prospects that had to suffer through frustrating sales processes that took forever. 

And then reinvented SaaS sales - by enabling interactive product demos that focus on value at any stage of the sales process.

Their mission: To solve the pain of buying software and create a way for prospects to fall in love with your product.

And this inspired me, and hence I invited Yoav to my podcast. We explore the journey of a startup that rapidly gained traction in the market. Yoav explains why he prioritized brand building from day one and how that helped them differentiate themselves in the saturated sales product market. Last but not least, he elaborates on the power of creating a movement - not only incorporating your ideal customers - but also their ideal customers.

Every time that we're working on a new video, we say, 'Let's just push it and see if people are sick of it.' It just helps us tell the story in a way that no other company is able to do it. And so every time we push the limits and boundaries, we just find out that the experiment has been successful.

During this interview, you will learn four things:
