At the Sellwell Conference, Matthew Bertram, digital strategist and Fractional CMO sits down with Paul Fuller of Membrain to unpack why most CRMs become data graveyards—and how to turn them into deal engines. They cover building a minimum viable CRM that actually helps reps sell: prospecting cadences that stick, buyer/seller milestones for each stage, clean pipeline management, true account mapping for expansion, and coaching baked into the workflow. Paul shares how Membrain replicates best practices at the push of a button, why overbuilt setups backfire, and how process + coaching can lift win rates and forecast accuracy—especially in long, complex cycles like oil & gas markets.

In this special episode, Kaden shares a raw, uncut recording from Benergy, the foundational energy course created by Blue Energy Nation. Instead of walking through all the modules step-by-step, listeners get a direct look into one of the sessions—an overview of the energy value chain and how the entire industry fits together. While this episode gives a solid taste of the course’s clarity and depth, Kaden still recommends checking out the full Benergy program for the complete learning experience. Whether you’re an energy newcomer, a curious student, or a Kaden super fan, this episode offers a fast-track introduction to how energy really works.

In this debut episode of Uneducated Guesses, Kaden launches a new series designed to spark curiosity in STEM-minded students who love math and science but have no idea where they want to take those skills. Kaden interviews his first-ever non-parent fan, Logan Nath—a junior chemical engineering student at Oklahoma State University—to explore what studying chemical engineering is really like, what surprised him, and how students can figure out whether this path might be right for them. Equal parts chaotic, insightful, and unfiltered, this episode kicks off a series dedicated to helping the next generation of gifted-but-confused kids discover where they might belong in the energy world.
