Thinking about running an online event and don’t know where to start? This episode of Revenue Optimization Radio has you covered. We spoke to Richard King from the Product Marketing Alliance about their seven-day online event, the tech stack needed to make it happen, and festival hangovers.
About Sean's guest:
Richard founded Product Marketing Alliance to disrupt existing product marketing research, education, and events organisations by pioneering a new community-driven content and learning proposition for PMMs and their teams.
The community consists of over 20,000 product marketing professionals from the world’s leading companies including Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Drift, HubSpot, Salesforce, Box, Dropbox, Atlassian to name a few.
As CEO, he leads the company’s vision of elevating the product marketing profession into a consistent driver of profitable and sustainable growth. The business is the first of its kind within the product marketing discipline, re-inventing the way practitioners learn - from each other.
Alliterative titles, podcast hosting envy, and redefining categories were just some of the things covered with our guest Patrick Morrissey, SVP of the Enterprise Sales & Marketing Cloud at Upland Software. He documents the journey of creating a category in 2019 and how that has evolved into something bigger since Upland Software acquired Altify. Enterprises find it extremely difficult to adapt and develop new categories, and we delve into how Patrick plans to avoid that trap. Patrick is the former host of Revenue Optimization Radio and an incredible speaker on all things Revenue, so you do not want to miss this episode.

In this special edition of Revenue Optimization Radio, Patrick Morrissey highlights two previous interviews. In this first half, we catch up with Patrick rushing through the airport talking with Ryan Begin from Salesforce - also on the go. We love the portability of podcasts. There's a bit of signal fluctuation between airports, but you'll want to listen carefully to Ryan as he tells us the 8 steps required to hire, build and scale an OEM sales model to deliver revenue.

In the second half, Patrick and Jay Shephard discuss Building a Level 3 Strategic Seller – and a strategic sales force. Most tenured salespeople think of themselves as strategic sellers, but do they really have the skills? The real judge and jury is the customer. Are you perceived as a professional seller vs. those you compete with? The harsh reality is that you are compared, whether you like it or not? This segment explores the different levels of sales expertise and what good looks like.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both.” The choice that faces companies today is a similar one faced by Robert Frost in ‘The Road Not Taken.’ Do they take the road most traveled and chase new customers, or should they take the less-traveled route and expand in existing accounts? 80% of companies surveyed by my guest Tim Reisterer from Corporate Visions, spend 70% of their sales & marketing budget on demand gen, content & sales enablement. That leaves only 30% for retention and expansion activities. In a remote-only world, new customer acquisition is challenging, so organizations need to focus on how they can expand in existing accounts. Tim outlines the five-step ‘why evolve’ model from his book ‘The Expansion Sale’ and the role of Customer Success as ‘Value Communicators.’ He is also giving away a free copy of ‘The Expansion Sale’ to one of our listeners. Listen in to find out how to win.

Today is a special episode focusing on sales enablement with three experts starting with our host, Patrick Morrissey. In the first half, Patrick interviews Aragon Research CEO Jim Lundy about the increasingly important topic of sales enablement. Lundy tells us about the weaknesses and falsehoods that are unknowingly crippling a large number of B2B firms. One thought that you’ll hear again and again is, “And they don’t even know it.” This program is filled with ways to fix what you don’t know is dragging down company revenue.
