If you're a marketer today, you are a revenue marketer. But you probably already know that. 

Many of you have held marketing ops roles or sales ops roles, but we’re starting to see those functions roll up together into a revenue ops role, into one true revenue team. We’re seeing this whole category of revenue operations emerge. All with the purpose of  guiding revenue planning and execution around your go-to-market strategy.

At the B2B Marketing Exchange conference four stellar speaks — Yun Fan, Karen Steele, Laura Patterson, and Jocelyn Brown — joined forces to talk us through what revenue ops means in their organizations. On today’s episode of the #FlipMyFunnel podcast, we’re sharing that discussion with you.

Passion and a paycheck. Oftentimes, these two things don’t go hand-in-hand in our lives.

Why not?

We had the chance to contemplate this idea with Jess Ekstrom, founder of Headbands of Hope and creator of Mic Drop Workshop. Currently, Jess is operating her business out of a pimped-out Airstream.

If that’s not living the dream, I don’t know what is.

In this episode, we cover social entrepreneurship, living on the road, and more.

Select the best approach to entering the marketplace:

1. A) Category creation
2. B) Building a better mousetrap

The answer? Both.

We sat down to discuss market strategies with one of HubSpot’s co-founders and current CEO of Lola.com, Mike Volpe.

Mike has been involved in both ends of the spectrum: category creation and building a better tool to serve an existing category. He gives FMF co-host John Rougeux the lowdown in the first of four #TakeoverTuesday episodes focused on category creation.

Feeling replaceable is tough.

Unless you’re moving up.

That’s what Katie Bullard, president of DiscoverOrg, did. Throughout her career, she has been shrewd enough to actually hire her replacements so she can move on to bigger roles. That’s pretty boss.

In this episode - kicking off a new series of #TakeoverTuesday - we cover transitioning up, the definition of a high-performing marketing team, and more.

There are two major differences between an average B2B sale and a megadeal:

1. The size of the audience
2. The amount of risk

How can we break down these gargantuan details of a megadeal into digestible pieces? By asking a megadeal sales champion, of course.

Co-author of the forthcoming Megadeals: How Multi-Billion Dollar Deals Are Done and What the Rest of Us Can Learn From It, Chris Engman, answers all of our billion-dollar questions about the biggest business transactions in the world.

In the first episode of this two-part series, guest-host Steve Watt and Chris cover transparency in megadeals, risk mitigation, and more.

Most of us chase temporary happiness, when we should be chasing everlasting joy. 

What does that really mean? Sangram unpacks the entire concept on this #OneBigIdea episode of the #FlipMyFunnel podcast. 

Using examples from everyday life, like an individual’s career, school, relationships, and yes, even pets, Sangram shows how we can shift our focus from temporary happiness to a feeling that can’t be taken away.

Medium or large? Stranger Things or The Office? Standard or premium?

Inspiration can hit us anywhere.

Most times, it’s not when we’re forcing it. It tends to reveal itself in the most mundane of activities.

But, when it shows up, it’s a beautiful thing.

This is what happened to the president and co-founder at WebPT, Heidi Jannenga. As a physical therapist, she saw the need for a more sophisticated method of documenting patient visits. Pen and paper was the protocol.

In this #TakeoverTuesday episode, Heidi fills in FMF co-host John Rougeux on her story through category creation, gaining 40% of the market share, and more.

Is it better to hire or choose partners who have an impressive CV, or who will roll up their sleeves and do whatever needs to be done to bring a project to fruition?

Sangram Vajre, chief evangelist and co-founder of Terminus, knows the answer. “Passion trumps resume. Every day and twice on Sunday.”

“Passion is something that can cut through fear and create love for who we are and what we do. It’s an important idea for anyone who’s in any kind of leadership role that requires cross-functional support or buy-in. It’s about making our customers heros in their own organization.”
