Hillary Carpio and Travis Henry are the authors of "Busting Silos: How Snowflake Unites Sales & Marketing To Win Its Best Customers." 

Hillary (Head of ABM) and Travis (Director, Sales Operations & Enablement) work at Snowflake and helped scale the go-to-market program behind one of the fastest growing software companies in history. Not satisfied with the traditional model of separate sales and marketing functions, they married both integrated, account-based, cross-functional teams that targeted and closed business at historic rates. In this episode we discuss their new book, how it came to be, and the lessons learned at Snowflake that they outline in the book, including:

- How to marry sales and marketing (and why it works to drive revenue)
- How to think through attribution and measuring what matters
- What great ABM looks like and some of their favorite ABM "plays"

You can learn more about the book and grab your copy here online.

HANG IN THERE!

Between Exit Five and some companies that I am involved with I can tell you that right now stress and burnout in marketing is higher than I've ever noticed in my career (so at least the last 10 years). And it makes sense as to why: the economy slumping, leads to fewer companies wanting to spend, marketing gets cut in all different areas, and we're being asked to do more with less and we're stressed / burned out / questioning what we're doing and re-visiting your career path.

Hang in there.

Almost across the board this is the case right now. With the exception of AI companies, most B2B SaaS companies are have a tough go of it. 

But maybe there's an opportunity for you to learn something new and acquire new skills during this time. Zoom out and look at your career - will you work at this one company in this one industry for the rest of your life? Probably not. So even if things aren't going great, can you take the longer term view and see what you can be learning right now? Can you think of it as you're being paid (hopefully...) to acquire new skills? Maybe you've never done a rebrand before but now you're being asked to do one one a shoestring budget. Great. Figure out how to get it done. Maybe you're selling to a new ICP and a new customer that you don't have experience writing for. Great. Maybe now you can add other layer to your depths as a writer and content creator. Maybe your boss is an absolute pain in the butt but the CEO is great and the company is in a great market. Can you learn from others around you in the company and in your industry and just ignore the PITA boss for a bit?

Take a minute to zoom out, think about your career, and see the next 6-12 months as "skills acquisition" and see where it takes you. Continue to work in your current job, but see it is they are paying you for your development and maybe that can change how you think about your day-to-day job for the time being, especially if company growth has slowed.

This episode is from a live session we did with Zapier's Head of Content Marketing Lane Scott Jones. Lane shared how Zapier has been able to generate a 450% ROI on content and she breaks down how Zapier's marketing team uses content across the entire funnel, from generating top of the funnel content for awareness, middle of the funnel content hat drives signups, and bottom of the funnel content that drives active users and paying customers.

Lane will unpacks how Zapier built a strong SEO foundation with over 2,000 articles that generate 2M pageviews per month, and she breaks down the roles and responsibilities of Zapier's four person content team. She also discusses how Zapier thinks about content measurement and pitching the value of content to the CEO, plus she shares her perspective on AI + automation with examples of how Zapier's content team is using AI today to up their game.
