    • You can use a product-led motion to accelerate your sales cycle, giving you the best of both worlds.
    • Almost half of the company is in sales or go-to-market in some way, showing prioritising these areas can help build sustainable growth.

    • Working at Oracle with customers who wanted to go to the cloud but had so many pain points to get to it is what gave Eric the idea for Strata.
    • To create a new category in the industry, Eric had to first figure out if the problem is big enough. He interviewed people to assess their issues and pain points and how that would fit with the product.
    • Strata used strong SEO and media presence to attract people to its product and then created content marketing around the use case of its product.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “It does for identity security what the m word did for compute”

    “Marketing and product-led growth are hand in hand, the intent is that we use the marketing effort to attract people and aware of the product so they can serve themselves”

    “When we were doing product design we really mapped out the sales process and then made sure the experience and the product supported each thing”

  • How to Penetrate the Sports Market and Leverage Referrals with Angelina Lawton CEO and Founder of Sportsdigita

    Angelina Lawton is the founder and CEO of Sportsdigita. A trailblazer in the sports world, Angelina has been named one of the 30 most powerful women in sport by Forbes! Angelina talks to Ryan about how she has transformed the way that over 450 of the biggest brands in the world market and sell, from massive sports brands to Fortune 500 companies and reveals how they generate referrals systematically as well as the lows and highs of her business journey.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Digideck is Sportsdigita’s core product, which is a programme for building cloud-based presentations and includes integration with Salesforce and other platforms.
    • The sports world has a herd mentality but can be difficult to penetrate. Angelina hired salespeople who already had existing relationships with the sports world and then the referrals began pouring in.

    • Angelina and others like her, expect bigger brands to be on point and up to date with their branding and marketing but so often she has found this not to be the case in actual fact, they are the companies that need the most help and guidance.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “Think PowerPoint but on steroids”
