The Transaction

Please welcome a phenomenal sales thought leader that is bringing some much-needed fresh ideas to the world of B2B sales. Ashley Welch is the Co-Founder of Somersault Innovation and the author of Naked Sales. Ashley joins hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to discuss the core idea of “Selling by Design”, how to craft a collaborative co-creating process with your buyers, and why you need to know how to navigate your customer’s customer map.

Also, Craig gives an update on his son’s Instagram followers and Matt takes a sip of something scrumptious.

Takeaways:

• Prioritize curiosity in customer interactions. Understanding the customer's needs, fears, and motivations through genuine inquiry can build stronger, trust-based relationships and uncover deeper insights into how to meet their needs effectively.
• Shift from presenting solutions to co-creating them with customers. This approach not only makes the solution more tailored and relevant but also builds a sense of ownership and partnership with the customer, leading to higher engagement and satisfaction.
• Push for a deeper understanding of the customer's broader ecosystem, including their end-users and other stakeholders. This comprehensive perspective can inform a more strategic and impactful solution that addresses wider organizational goals and challenges.
• Foster a mindset of innovation and creative problem-solving within the team by adopting principles of design-thinking. Encourage them to always start with the customer perspective and iterate solutions based on feedback and changing requirements.

Our special guest today is a three-time CMO and seasoned veteran in the customer experience and SalesTech world who offers CX and sales software companies a wealth of expertise that he has accumulated over several decades. Nicolas de Kouchkovsky is a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer & Industry Analyst at CaCube Consulting. Nicolas joins Hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to discuss the transition from traditional methods to Signal-based Selling and the urgent need for precision and relevance in outbound sales efforts. They also dive into the critical role of modern data architectures, such as cloud data warehouses, in enabling efficient and effective sales strategies, stressing the importance of moving beyond CRM as the system of record to embrace more flexible, data-rich platforms.

Also, Craig makes a re-introduction and Matt sets the record for the number of times a person has said data warehouse on a podcast.

Takeaways:

• The transition towards signal-based selling highlights the need for marketers to adapt to advanced methods of identifying and engaging with potential customers. The ability to harness and interpret signals can significantly improve targeting and personalization.
• Precise market segmentation and pinpointing the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) are more crucial than ever. Generic approaches are no longer effective. Teams should invest time in deeply understanding their target segments to tailor messages and offers accordingly.
• Crafting and communicating a clear, compelling value proposition is essential. Vague statements about benefits can undermine trust. Marketers must articulate how their products or services address specific customer needs and pain points.

To help you wrap your head around the rapidly evolving technological landscape as a revenue leader, we have a very special guest today. Mary Shea is the former Principal Analyst at Forrester and is currently advising and coaching multiple high-growth companies. Mary joins Hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to discuss the technology-enabled future of B2B sales organizations, which stages of the funnel should be automated first, and understanding “Signal-based Selling.”

Also, Craig relishes getting a great compliment and Matt is put on the hot seat for one of his takes on B2B sales. 

Takeaways:

• Investing in sales training and enablement is vital, both internally and via third parties. This focus on upskilling is critical during times of change, especially as enablement professionals are among the first to be let go when budgets are tight. Consistent investment in enablement is key to maintaining a high-performing sales team.
• Look beyond point solutions to vendors who offer comprehensive support for the sales cycle. Try to work with vendors who possess an exciting vision for the future, particularly those who incorporate embedded and generative AI into their offerings, allowing for a more consolidated and efficient tech stack.
• Focus on insights over mere data to improve buyer-seller interactions. It’s much more important to extract meaningful insights from data, than just collect data for its own sake. The term 'Signal-based Selling' highlights the need for sales and marketing professionals to focus on actionable insights that drive meaningful engagements with prospects and customers.

Joining Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson in Episode 5 is special guest Chris Orlob, the Co-Founder & CEO of pclub.io. Many of you probably know about Chris or his awesome work early on at Gong which helped the company reach hockey stick level growth. Chris shares his “unqualified” thoughts on when to gate content, how to get deals done on demo calls, and what prime sales prospecting outreach should look and feel like.

Also, Craig compares himself to a cartoon image on a coffee mug and Matt mixes up two timeless classic holiday films.

Takeaways:

• Some of the best prospecting messages don't even like talk about the product, its benefits, or your company. For example, a good prospecting email could be: [A very well articulated grasp of the challenges they're probably going through] and we've been able to help a bunch of other companies solve this. Is this challenge worth a live chat?
• “It's not multi threading, it's single threading with multiple people.”

Joining Hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson is John Barrows, the CEO of JB Sales and Author of I Want To Be In Sales When I Grow Up. John outlines what led to the current poor performance amongst sales reps and what leaders can do about it to increase performance today and in the long run. They also get into why buyers dread demos, whether marketers should control all of the messaging from sales, and how smart sellers will approach incorporating AI into their workflows.

Also, Craig tells a story about sending around a slide deck and Matt showcases the latest improvement to the production value of the show: the Clapper.

Takeaways:

• Sales success is more achievable through repeatable processes than through unreliable shortcuts.
• Encourage personalized and relevant outreach: Teach sales reps to conduct thorough research before outreach, making every interaction as relevant and personalized as possible.
• Highlight the importance of business understanding: Sales reps must develop a deeper grasp of the customer's business landscape, priorities, and challenges for more effective positioning of solutions.
• Use AI to augment human efforts in sales, especially for research and personalization, but don’t try to automate humans out of the process. Augmenting > Automating

Today’s episode is a real treat because we have multiple amazing guests joining Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson for a deep dive into the state of MarTech today and how to think about generative AI within the larger AI conversation. Scott Brinker & Esteban Kolsky are two of the foremost thinkers and analysts in the B2B world and are here together to volley high-value concepts and insights. Scott, Esteban, and Craig dissect the challenges and potentials of generative AI (Gen AI), the proliferation of MarTech vendors, and the critical need for democratized data in use versus data in storage.

Also, Matt shares why he thinks Mr. and Mrs. Smith has the best season finale in tv history and Craig examines his use of the word “gangster”.

Takeaways:

• Build software solutions with integration in mind. 
• Data in storage is vastly different from data in use. The value of data comes not just from collecting it but from actively applying it to solve problems and guide decisions. Make your data actionable.

Quote of the Show:

• “You need to treat integration as a first-class capability because if people can't integrate this stuff with the rest of their stack, they're not going get the value out of you.” - Scott Brinker
• “Once you understand that computers make based on one and zeros that are stored, the world is a lot simpler to go through. Then it's just go play poker.” - Esteban Kolsky

Welcome back to The Transaction! In our second episode, you’ll hear from a truly classic Founder who is full of marketing ideas that are disrupting the status quo of B2B marketing. 

Mac Reddin is the Founder and El Rey de Dinos at Commsor, the company behind both Matcha and Bronto. Mac joins co-hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to save go-to-market teams from the 99% of what they do that is wrong or misguided. Mac dives into his Vibe-First Marketing approach, how a few hundred chicken wings upended event marketing, and what it takes to inundate LinkedIn without spending a dime. 

Also, Craig complains about New York City winter weather and Matt divulges his European shoe size.

Takeaways:

• Marketers shouldn’t judge an idea solely based on how measurable it is. 
• The bar for a campaign working and being seen as creative and new is incredibly low in B2B. Come up with an idea that actually breaks through the noise of sameness from your competitors and then stick to it. 
• Build strong relations with your customers, prospects, and audience by creating something they want to be a part of.
• When Founders are active on social and leading from the front, it allows people to connect closer with them and the company, making the marketing team’s (and everyone else’s) jobs much easier.

Chapters:

• 00:00 - Craig Complains about the Cold
• 01:48 - Introducing Special Guest Mac Reddin!
• 04:03 - What GTM Teams are Doing Wrong & Vibe-First Marketing
• 09:05 - The Chicken Wing Example of a Vibe-First Marketing Approach
• 16:39 - How Commsor’s Booth Compares to Traditional Event Marketing
• 20:40 - Mac’s B2C Sources of Inspiration 
• 24:49 - How to Create an Influencer Campaign to Conquer LinkedIn
• 31:29 - The Impact of Consistently Building Strong Relationships In Your Market 
• 34:46 - How B2B Marketers Should Think About Video Content
• 38:22 - Founders That are Active on Social Media are a Secret Weapon
• 43:46 - Being Intentional and Consistent with LinkedIn are Key

Quote of the Show:

• “When I think about marketing ideas and when our team thinks about them, we tend to think from a vibe-first mentality. We think more from the perspective of how are people going to feel about this?” - Mac Reddin
