In this episode Tory and Allison take you through the steps you can take in your own reporting to tell a compelling story that elicits action.

Most marketing teams know that building a successful podcast involves more than just building an audience: that podcast and the audience it serves need to, eventually, contribute to actual revenue dollars.

In this episode Tory and Matt welcome Lindsay Tjepkema, Co-Founder and CEO of Casted.

You know the situation: Q4 hits. You're under paced to goal because everyone likes to forecast up and to the right, so Q4 has some pretty steep goals. The only problem is, Q4 is also the shortest quarter of the year; holidays, people using PTO, everyone is burned out, and a general slowdown in spending. So the question begs to be answered, "what can I do to achieve those hefty goals?" 

In this episode, Ashley and Evan talk about the levers you can pull and the tactics they use with clients to ensure the best possible outcomes from your marketing efforts in Q4 (and how to make sure you're not sandbagging future gains for short-term wins).

Marketing and Customer Success are frequently viewed as separate parts of the organization. Marketing is typically categorized as a pre-sales role, while customer success is generally viewed as a post-sales function. Sure, there are the occasional asks where marketing needs a customer testimonial or case study, but those are not typically high priorities from either side.

But what if that changed? What if marketing and customer success worked together to craft better stories that answered customer questions, decreased churn, and increased upsets and cross-sells?

In this episode, Tory and Matt welcome Madelyn DePrey, Head Of Customer Success at Aircall to talk about why marketing/customer success alignment is so important.
